    yes! typically male flowers grow first, and then females. almost all plants try to do this to stop self fertilization

    Sounds correct, my gourds produced only male flowers for around a month then started popping out females finally once each plant had multiple vines instead of just a small singular stalk. Now I have probably around 70/30 split with majority females. It’s just up to the growth level on the plant itself.

      I only tried pollinating one flower and it didn’t work well, but look at all the fruits that I didn’t do anything to get
