My female blooms are everywhere however just when they are about to open they begin to turn yellow, wilt and die without opening and getting pollinated. Whats going on?

Talk to them, be nice, buy them a drink. Tell them their beautiful and such. Seriously, are you sure they didn't open early in the AM? They open early in the morning, then close up again, if you're open pollinating you can open them up later in the day and see bees and such a lot of times. Other thing may be heat, is it hot down there?

It sounds like your plant is out of something, water fertilizer or it's sick. Normally mine will do that after I get a good pumpkin going and all the energy is going to the pumpkin.
