watermelon (kabuki) Air pump hydroponics3

127 days after sowing.

That ... isn't it dead? (;´･ω･)
Is there anything else besides spider mites or overnutrition?

The size of a watermelon is about 14mm.
I feel that the speed of growth has slowed. (T_T)

 

 

134 days after sowing,

The fruit of the watermelon is about 15cm.
The surrounding leaves are withering,
(T_T) I want you to wait a little more.

 

 

 

 

155 days after sowing,

In August.
August 2018 is the day when the temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius due to abnormal temperatures.
Is it because of the heat? Is there any other cause?
Watermelon is not healthy (;´･ω･)

The size of the watermelon is about 17cm.

If you look closely, the vine just above the harvest signal hasn't withered yet.
I'm wondering whether to harvest.
Let's wait a little after Yoshi ('ω').

 

 

165 days after sowing,

It has been 58 days since the watermelon fruit was pollinated.
It is said that the harvest time for large watermelons is 30-40 days.
Since the vine just above the standard is completely dead, I will try to harvest it.

The size of the watermelon has grown to about 23cm.
Try cutting immediately （｀・ω・´）

Oh! (*^▽^*) Something looks delicious!
Since it is a break, try to measure the sugar content with a sugar meter.

Uh ...! 7 degree sugar? Lower than expected,

('ω') Let's eat it,
Hmm, refreshing watermelon with a light taste? w
I can't eat it, but it's different if it's said it's really delicious.

Assuming 100 small watermelons harvested before, there are about 50 watermelons. (;'∀')
Maybe I'll make a delicious watermelon this time!（｀・ω・´）

 

 

Grow watermelon (kabuki) (Air pump hydroponics)

I was growing up until the spider mite was attached.
Since then, even if the fertilizer water concentration was changed, the symptoms of withering did not go away.
Was the sugar content low because the leaves withered during the growing season? I think.
Previously, I wondered what is different from the successful Kodama watermelon.
Since the difference is grafted, there may be a hint.
Watermelons originally grown in dry land may not be suitable for pump-type hydroponics,
I want to succeed without giving up, (*^▽^*)

 

 

 

 

The growth of watermelon (kabuki) (air pump hydroponics) was briefly summarized in the video.
