Female flowers usually appear after 3-4 weeks of male flowers.. how long it is in flowering?

Arif sb. I have grown too many plants of the same family... Ridge Gourd, Bottle Gourd, etc... In my opinion Izhar bhai is absolutely right and I have the same experience, firstly, you will observe lots of flowers with no fruits for first 15-20 days, then the plant will set fruit-giving flower with every leaf... produced...

Conclusion is, all early flowers are male and when the females arrive there is no dearth of pollen. Logical.
