Growing Rockmelon, also Canteloupe

From three vines I have just one healthy rock melon growing. The others seem to form buds, grow a little, and then turn yellow and wither. Is this lack of pollination or soil deficiency?

I pollinate the flowers myself and they seems to be lots of flowers . Some of them form buds but they only grow a little and they turn yellow and died too. Have anyone know the reasons?

how old are the plants? mine took along time(over two months) to produce female flowers, also i found the bees do a better job of pollinating if the plants are spread out rather than too inter-grown
