kahou ( Small watermelon ) Air pump hydroponics3

118 days after sowing

In July, the temperature is over 30 ℃.
The symptoms of withering do not feel suddenly withering.
The feeling of withering gradually increases.
I wonder if I'm sick (;´･ω･)

When I looked it up, I found that it was similar to the symptoms of fertilizer overload.
Up until now, I used fertilizer water diluted 2000 times, but
I decided to change it to 4000 times thinner and look at the situation.

Watermelon fruit is 16cm long,

The side has grown to about 9 cm.

 

 

 

 

126 days after sowing,

After changing fertilizer water, new sprout has grown from the bottom. After all it seems that it was caused by the concentration of fertilizer water (;´･ω･)

The watermelon is 19cm long,

The length is about 10cm, but it is the effect of withering.

For the other fruit,
the upper part ripened and stopped growing (;´･ω･)

So I picked it up and cut it into two.
Oh! The contents are yellow and looks delicious at first glance (*^▽^*)
Measure sugar content with a sugar content meter.

The sugar content is about 4-5 degrees.
The impression I ate was the taste of cucumber with a slight sweetness.

 

 

140 days after sowing,

In August.
There are many new vines and the bottom is lively.

The fruit of the watermelon is(;´･ω･) ・ ・ Once, the vine on the ripe signal has withered. ・
I feel like it just withered due to the problem of fertilizer water. I will try to harvest it.

140 days after sowing, the first harvest (*^▽^*)

Size is 22mm in length,

The side is about 11cm.

I cut it in two.
That? I don't feel the crispness when I cut the watermelon ...
The contents seem ripe and sweet ...

Measure the sugar content with a sugar meter.

The sugar content is 7 degrees. Certainly the cultivation instructions have a strong sweetness and full flavor.
I have eaten it and it has a lot of water and is slightly sweet.
It feels delicious under the heat of midsummer, but
It's such a subtle sweetness that doesn't have enough sweetness when tasted at home. w

Maybe it's an effect that withered along the way (´;ω;｀)

Since Jiabao is a fixed species (a species that has been passed down from generation to generation), let's revenge again next year! (*^▽^*)

Aphids and spider mites came out on the way and removed them (cut leaves)
Fertilizer water was cultivated as if it were replenished every morning.

Because it grew very well until it began to die,
If you pay attention to the fertilizer water concentration, the watermelon fruit will feel more delicious.

Because the fertilizer water concentration was changed from 2000 times thinner to 4000 times thinner, it began to recover.
When I cultivate this time, I wanted to use what was 4000 times thinner from the beginning. think.
