Hi, i am having trouble with my cantaloupe plants, i have 6 of them and they are 64 days old, and yet to form a single melon. The female flowers simply turn yellow and die before they have a chance to bloom. I am also growing watermelons at the same place with the exact same conditions, and they are thriving, biggest one weighing in at 2 pounds now.

Here is some pictures of my cantaloupes: http://imgur.com/a/nDtet

Anyone have any idea as to why my cantaloupes die before getting a chance to bloom?

It looks like it is in too much shade. Also it might not be getting pollinated.

its definitely not getting pollinated, they don't open up their flowers before they die I have this plant which is in a shady place, but i also have others in direct sunlight - same result, watermelons in all the places though

Wish I had an answer for you but I don't know.

Can you reach in there and pollinate them before they fully open?
