watermelon (kabuki) Soil-type hydroponics3

I am dead ( ﾟДﾟ) withered

128 days after sowing (36 days after pollination)

The final size of the watermelon is about 14mm.

I tried harvesting.

Large watermelon is harvested 45 to 50 days after pollination, so
10 days are not enough Is it delicious? (;´･ω･)

 

 

 

 

I cut it in two.

Oh! (*^▽^*) Red!
I thought it was white like a candy, so I had a little expectation w

When measured with a sugar content meter, the sugar content is around 6 ...
When I tried it, it was a slightly sweet and light-tasting watermelon.
I want to try again next year to harvest sweet watermelon (*^▽^*)

 

 

Additional

Small watermelons grown at the same time also had symptoms that the tip of the same vine began to wither,
At this time, I was guessing that there was a lot of nitrogen, so when I reduced the amount of nitrogen,

One week later

As you can see, I was revived from the leaves below and I was well.

At the next time, I will raise it with attention to excessive nitrogen (*^▽^*)

 

 

Grow watermelon (kabuki) (soil hydroponics)

Up to the middle, it grew better than the pump type.
After the vine began to wither, conversely, a lot of fertilizer water was given,
As a result of excessive nitrogen dying and withering.
If you get too much nitrogen, let the soil dry a little, then
It seems that if you reduce the nitrogen content and give fertilizer water, it will rejuvenate,
I want to be successful next year (*^▽^*)

 

 

 

 

I summarized the growth of watermelon (kabuki) (soil-type hydroponics) in a short video.
