Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I have a squash plant that all of the female flowers are turning yellow and falling off prior to them opening for pollination (I assume they're not opening cause I've checked them different times of the day to see) any guidance is appreciated

If these are the first blooms on a young plant just give it some more time.

Thanks. This is a fairly young plant and I've had quite a few female flowers already show and all of them have done this

Does anyone know if female squash flowers only open during a certain time of the day reason I ask is because they look big but none are opening

Have a spaghetti squash in dirt here that is open at all different times

I've seen female squash flowers aborted on both my Aquaponics and in-ground squash plants. It appears to me that the plant is sensing something - either a nutrient deficiency or the plant isn't mature enough to support that baby squash.

Thanks smatthew!
