First off all: the males in the green cup are 1611 Jutras Squash, and orange cup are 2464 Stelts pumpkin, so really only 5 males a peice.
Secondly: definitely use more males than you think, they males pollen has a huge responsibility for good pollination occurring.
Thirdly: yeah, 7:30-8:00 was where I found optimal temperature range previous years, but the flowers open on a weekday and dont leave me any choice. Have to pollinate before work.
