watermelon (kabuki) Soil-type hydroponics

The small watermelon harvested in 2017 was so delicious,
I wanted to make watermelon again this year.
This time, I would like a bigger watermelon,
Let's challenge the big watermelon. (*^▽^*)

I went to a local home center to see if there were any good watermelons.

Em, watermelon, watermelon seeds, and so on. The seeds of the phrase high water sugar with a high sugar content are easy to make!
Its name is! watermelon (kabuki) （｀・ω・´） Shines in the summer! It looks like it ’s going to grow!
I decided on this! That ’s why I bought watermelon (kabuki) seeds.

March 04, 2018

watermelon (kabuki) starts sowing. (May-June is good for direct fires)

Because the temperature is still low, grow in a cell tray with (Pink type greenhouse) until it grows to some extent
I would like to transplant to soil hydroponics.

42 days after sowing,

The average temperature in March is 11.5 ℃.

They have finally grown so far in the cold.
(Due to the cold, the buds did not come out.)

Day 58 after sowing,

Because it became GW, the temperature became higher, and watermelon (kabuki) became larger
Finally, I will try to grow it with full-fledged soil-type hydroponics.
This time, I want to grow watermelon (kabuki) with a pump-type hydroponic planter and compare the growth, No. 10 pots were prepared to grow on the same volume of soil as the pump hydroponic plant.
（｀・ω・´）

Transplant completed! （｀・ω・´）
I hope it grows up ~

70 days after sowing.

The transplant seems to have been successful.
It is growing steadily.(*^▽^*)

Ah! I forgot the props
Hurry up and set up the support. the last minute safe!

77 days after sowing,

The number of relatives is 6.
Cut off the tip of the relative to spread the nutrition to the child.
Watermelon fruits are attached after the second flower. (This time one vine one fruit)

Leave the leaves like this and cut off the tip of the relatives.

Choki! ( ﾟДﾟ)

After that, I just wait for the buds to come into bloom.
