My only suggestion is more phosphorous in the common drench water. X-2X-X, like 15/30+/15. etc. My first ones aborted but it was seriously my fault. Second attempts on 2 groups of 3 yet to reach 5-gallon bucket tops; Burpee Coir Brick Seedling mix with Bio Gro Endo Plus and spring H2O incorporated, only. Too much fert the first time, lol. Will begin spraying them all with X-2X-X (???) at normal strength in a day or two. Also, who knows if removing the flower has any side effects on the process - been there, done that but who remembers? In addition, anything growing alongside the fruit may be competing with it for 'Da Juice' (tendrils, additional vines, secondary shoots, even leaves); Removal may be helpful to it.

All comments are welcome, lol. But yes, I’ve adjusted my feed to be more phosphorus and potassium heavy, also added in a touch of boron and amino acids. Just started that last week so maybe not early enough for this one. I have more babies forming in the tips though.
