It's really hard to say what might be wrong, based on the info available, Lauren. If I only consider the odds of what the problem might be, I'd have to suggest you might be over-watering, which is easy to do in water-retentive soils.

Try withholding water (once) until you see the first signs of wilt. This will give you a better idea of what your watering intervals should be. A couple of other things that come to mind are over/under-fertilizing. Have you fertilized? With What? Are your mean temperatures there consistently above 55* now?

Hi Lauren,
Squash and gourds tend to go through spurts where you will have all of the same sex flower. It should balance out soon.

Me and my dad hand polinate them when we can do to a lack of bee's around here.

Thanks for the ideas, I am going to hold of watering until I see a little wilting and then fertilize. I have fertilied it with a 6-10-10 fertilizer but its been about a month or so. I was planning on hand pollinating if I ever see any more female flowers!

Then temp at night goes down to upper 50's/ lower 60's but it has been mid 40's some nights in the past month or so.

I'm having a similar problem with my zucchini in a large container. I started them from seed and they were growing well for a couple weeks but the leaves are REALLY small. I fertilize once every 10 days with Dyna Gro Liquid Grow. The potting media is Jungle Growth Vegetable mix. My guess is the soil mix is getting too hot since the container itself has very thin walls. I felt the container sides today and it was pretty hot to the touch. I'll have to figure a cheap and decorative way insulate the container sides from direct sunlight.

my problem was overwatering, three of my 6 plants died, now the other 3 have recovered and are producing like crazy. all zucchini now though and I am hand pollinating!
