Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem in
the past, Were the female fruit will show up at tip of main
vine and then the fruit and flower will continue to grow for about a week or a bit longer then just turn yellowish
like its about to open but doesnt?

What causes this?
Too much rain cool nights and hot days big change in weather or what?

My 2 females that were suppose to open up this week all of a sudden the flowers turns yellow like they were going to open but they wont open and the flowers are smaller then all the other ones.

It could be from too much nitrogen.

I have had exactly the same problem. Both of my females are in limbo, they won't flower and they are healthy sitting about 3 feet down the main vine from the growth tip. I have cut back on the N2 big time and am seeing a real change in the last few days. Hopefully it is just too much fert and not something more serious.

Get a fert high in P, like 15-30-15 or 10-50-10 she will open up!

Yup I just finished applying 10-52-10 as a drencher to the
patch early this mourning, This is the same stuff i applied every 2 weeks for the month of May to get my plants to flower and it worked for the first 2 that opened once my females arrived i stoped useing it. So applied it again hopefully this helps.
