watermelon (kabuki) Air pump hydroponics2

86 days after sowing

Since the parent vine has been cut, the baby fox has grown and is growing smoothly.

It seems that there are too many leaves and the air is not good.
Cut off the leaves.
(At the very least, I was careful to leave 10 leaves.)

Ah, flowers are starting to bloom(*^▽^*)

 

 

 

 

92 days after sowing,

June has entered.
In June, the sun is getting stronger and the daily temperature is over 27 ℃.

When it got warmer, many grandchildren and great-grandchild vines grew.

The grandchildren and great-grandchild vines are cut off so that they are airy and nutritious.

Comparison with soil-type hydroponics growing at the same time.
Soil-type hydroponics seems to grow a little faster. ('ω') ノ

 

 

99 days after sowing,

The leaves are growing alive and well. (*^▽^*)

Slightly cut to improve ventilation.

The second flower bloomed. This time I will try to pollinate the second flower.
(In order to make a big watermelon, the book says that the second female flower after the vine is better. I tried to pollinate the second flower.) * (If a female flower hangs down, it is a sign of successful pollination.
If it rains within 4 hours after pollination,
the probability of failure. So be careful.)

 

 

 

 

Because the second flower is grown, the first flower is cut off.

Chokin! ('ω') ノ

 

 

107 days after sowing,

Soil-type hydroponics watermelons growing at the same time showed symptoms of excessive fertilizer,
From here, I will use fertilizer water diluted 4000 times (Otsuka House).

The fruit of the watermelon has grown in no time
Slightly surprised Σ(ﾟДﾟ) w

 

 

113 days after sowing,

It grows well even after changing the concentration of fertilizer water.
So far, I have noticed that there are no aphids and
thinking grandchild vines and leaves a little to improve ventilation.

The size of a watermelon is about 10cm.
Delicious (*^▽^*)

Put a stand under the watermelon to withstand the weight

Mum! ! (; ･`д･´)
what is it? Is it a spider mite? I'm interested.

 

 

120 days after sowing,

The fruit of the watermelon has grown too big to shoot. w

The size of the watermelon has grown to about 13cm.

I removed the leaves from the tick ...
I feel unwell ... I have a bad feeling. (;´･ω･)
