Ok im growing some 'grey' zucchini this year, and so far the plants are looking great and healthy, however, the male flowers are opening up just fine, but the females arent wanting to open....you can see them come up with the zucchini behind the flower, but the flower never opens up and the flower and fruit just turn yellow, mushy and die.....i thought it may have been because i didnt have a sufficient amount of P and K, so i got some Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10, cause all ive fed it so far was 5-1-1, fish emulsion....im growing all organically, so if anyone has any ideas on why the female flowers are not opening and dying off i would greatly appreciate it....also ive had like one or two of the very bottom leaves turn yellow and die, but i figured it was just normal as the plant matured, but it may be related.... heres a pic of one of the plants...you can see the yellow leaf at the bottom...but overall the plant looks to me pretty healthy, maybe it just wanted to drop the first round of fruit, or maybe its a problem...if someone could help i would greatly appreciate it!!
