Excelente video, pudieras colocar la opción de ver los subtitulos en español. Sería maravilloso. Como la abonaste? Cada cuánto tiempo se riega? Soy de Venezuela 🇻🇪 un clima cálido, en está época mucho calor 36° Saludos

Thank you!

Of course it is sweet....Malaysia is known for the sweet melon 🍈🍈.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Momma you was WRONG!!

Heaven to vaporwave slowed

In iran farmers plants watermelon in hot and sunny region

Great to hear!

How’s it Going

@@batmanofyoutube8820 It's Growing!

Same here! I’m at about day 21

@@hookedonfishing2095 Nice!

I agree, but with one condition, straight to the ground. I found out melon in pots, can't be too greedy, it has limitations.

Awesome! This year I planted the muskmelon again!

Same, they are nice and I can't wait for this year!

haha , having shiba is like having a cat, is a cat soul trap in a dog body!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for stopping by my channel. Glad that you like it.

Yeah, i totally agree, apart from Hawaii , Florida is the best place for gardening!

@@TonysExploration you from hawaiu

Welcome on board!

Thanks

Thank you AniYah

So??? how did it go?

Any results??

Sounds great!

Thank you!

Full sun, that is a must. The fertilizers follow the label , each brand has different strengths...but more importantly is using low nitrogen , high in P n K . Watering is very morning, then again , the volume is much depend on yr site weather. You need to adjust accordingly.

I think is doable, I would try out indoor soon!

Let’s go i’m trying to do it too but I don’t know how long it will take I’m doing Black, diamond, watermelon seeds 😊

Thanks

Yeah...summer coming soon!

​@@TonysExploration do they have to grow up or can they grow sideways in a long planter box?

@@jellytheaxolotl573 , sideways or even on the ground will do .

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you

Ya basically for KZfaq presentation purpose , I only cut like this...because many times I get feedback is fake video or store bought melon.....so nothing to hide here, melon on the tree

Give it a try this season!

Oh dear...is all right

Thanks!

Thank for stopping by my channels...Glad that you like it!

Awesome!!

I can't remember if I did that...the rules are simple, keep it moist ...so if it starts to dry up before they sprout, you need to top up water.

Is not a golden rule...mainly because I use pot, keep better ventilation,and I always want the melon to achieve to its biggest potential size. Actually i do keep a plant that have multiple melons per plant....it still works.

@@TonysExploration waoooo thank you for your immediate response. I grew few sugar baby and kaola seeds 4months ago but didn't learn to pollinate manually and I didn't harvest much fruits. Now I know better and I'm beginning to plant my best fruits now. Thanks once again.

Glad it was helpful!

5 gallon pot size

Awesome!

Well, baby melons is not that heavy, simple trellis will be able to support the weight. For big melon, just let it run on the ground. Baby melon is okay to have 2-3 per plant , you won't have any degradation in quality or size...Theoretically, yes, if pinch-off method does help to maximize the size. My observation is that more leaves don't mean more energy given to the fruits, even given enough fertilizer.... because more energy is driven to make more leaves and more stems...If you start to reduce the leaves...then the excess nutrient has no way to go...thus all energy channels to the fruits.....Some plants, if you reduce all the leaves at once, it tricks the plant that he going to die...thus quickly producing flower and fruits...after all...all plants pass down the gene and offspring via seed(fruits) before dying.

@@TonysExploration good to know that the melons are small enough to not need much support. Also, I love the idea of growing them in a pot vertically as well. Do you prune the main stem once you have two little melons on each plant?

@@swift7169 ,yes once the main stem reach the top , around 6.5-7 feet, I prune the tip of the main stem.

great job!

Well, important is the soil pH or the fertiliser solution pH must be around 6-6.5. The fertilizer I use is (A) YARA Kristalon Red NPK 12:12:36 + (B)Yara Calcinit 15.5% N + 26.3% CaO. Make the fertilizer into a stock solution A and B . Mix with equal ratio and dilute to EC 1.5 when first transplanting. Increase the EC 0.2 every week until. Capped at EC3.1 for the remaining season. You need to invest in the EC meter if using liquid fertilizer. Else and compound fertilizer with lower N, higher P and K will do. For the volume, that is really need observation, because the weather, sunny ,cloudy or raining all make the differences.

👍👍👍

Base on your description, I can roughly guess is due to the mosaic virus. Try to Google image if this fit your description. The mosaic virus will cause stunted growth, yellow spotted leaves and wringles. This virus transmitted by pest especially white fly

15 inch diameter and 12 inch deep

@@TonysExploration in your mom

Thank you for watching!

Terima kasih krn sudi menonton

I never give any instructions on watering all my videos , simply because this watering is very much dependent on the weather and where you stay. The golden rule is always the same , keep the medium moist. The amount and interval is based on your judgement.

From local nusery store

Need to diagnose why yellow spot in a month. Is it a raining season, any Whitefly pest that carry the mosaic virus. Check the soil pH. Is very hard to diagnose here base on description...the best way is always observe and learn and replant again

is very hard to diagnose without looking at actual plant. Did you hand pollinate the flowers (male on the female) ?

Well, there are some many types of melon variety and cultivar, if the leaves don't look the same, is perfectly normal. Focus on flower pollination, and check what kind of melon you get! If you have come to flower stage, you are on the right path....all the melons family have similar flower lookalike.

@@TonysExploration Hopefully i’ve managed to explain myself well. The leaves just look crazy spiky and every time I look at them, they just don’t look like what I’ve seen in every watermelon time lapse video. You’d think a good portion of the leaves had been munched away with only the spikes and a bit of leaf left behind. Whereas with yours, they just….look like leaves. My plant has also not gone through the “leaves overflow the pot” stage yet which so many timelapse seem to get through with ease. That said, the flowers are the only things that look anything like the time lapses which is the only hope I’ve managed to hold onto so far. I keep saying that it must obviously be a watermelon plant. I mean, I took the seed from the watermelon and put it in the soil and it grow from where I buried it haha. I keep getting told that the plant just looks like a weed. Hearing that can be discouraging when you’ve never done this before especially when it comes to close relatives and especially when I’m very new to growing fruit in general. Thank you for your comment. I much appreciate it.

Ideally 2 feet apart and grow up to 7 feets tall

@@TonysExploration cool. Also, how many melons would a single plant produce over one season, like from spring to fall.

@@anonymousf454 For this variety , well 2-3 per plant, since potted and I want to have bigger size, so i kept to minimum quantity to make sure all the nutrient goes to the melon to maximize the size.

@@TonysExplorationHmmmm, Is there a way to plant them continuously so you get like 2-3 melons per week over like a 4 months time span? I hate to grow 6 plants and get like 15 melons, but all within a week or two. And then they go bad on me. Maybe it's one of those things that is just better to buy?

@@anonymousf454 is relatively easy for me, because I am in tropical country. All I need to sow the seeds two week apart and I can have melon all year long. Maybe not for your case, fall will come and depend on your location. You need to calculate the growing window period, and sow the seedling accordingly.

You still need full blast of sun light....at least 6 hrs per day

TQ

It only last for a season, I just take the plant done and start all over again

@@TonysExploration ahhh ok gotcha I figured one can leave the plant and it would grow more melons… could one use the plant to make your own compost or is it not viable to do so?

Yes!!you can 2-3 per vine is possible

Don't worry yet ..give another few days...the female flower have a ovary bulb behind the petals...the males just normal petal flowers...you could distinguish easily once you reach that stage

@@TonysExploration thanks for the response!!

@@TonysExploration It sprouted!! Thank u for reminding me to be patient!!

@@TonysExploration there ended up actually being 3 that sprouted but I believe only one is gonna make it

@Nochilus_Jr it's going good! The plant grew its second pair of leaves and the next leaves are coming because I can see where they started. If you plan on/are growing these aswell I wish you luck. I have certainly had a lot of luck. Have a great day and a awesome and lucky growing season!

the general rules is to have soil that is make up from top soil (to hold the roots and micronutrient) + compost ( nutrient) + sand for drainage ...this is called potting mix. Some substitute sand with pearlite.

It doesn't matter how it grows . Even crawling on the ground will work fine. Vertical just gives better space management.

Good question! I cant comment on this, because obviously I don't systematical doing research on this and the sample size from my previous experience wasn't big enough. What I can observe is the size indeed grow larger , the sweetness definitely relate to the growing temperature as well.

for this cultivar , up to 2-3 per plant still reasonable. If you watch carefully, I do have two pots that I experiment that carry more than 1. Once i fix how many fruits per plant, I choose to trim the extra side shoots to focus the energy towards the fruits.

Thank you, that's really helpful 👍

Thanks

Unless it is dehydrated, else the wilting hardly comes back, most of the time is due to fusarium or roots rot

Great! Give it a try!

No sure about deer and rabbits....but squirrel accasionally chew...but depends ...because my figs and my neighbour's crop become the primary target...guess they prefer something better if have the choices...lol

Thank you, happy Gardening

Very hard to tell by. Count by days only make sense if you have done it before. ... different region and weather all will impact . Guess you need to make a wild guess by looking at the melon colour...and smell it.

No, after transplant a week or so , I only add fertilizer

@@TonysExploration okay thank you, and they should have their own pots? Or can I stick all 4 into one big pot ??

@@ozzielujan3819 4 in one big pots work as well.

Close to 8 hours

Thank you!

Yeah...pH is always the key successful gardener!

Best is kept to 1-3 per plant

Of course the month with hottest weathers is more favourable.

Just let it grow, give adequate fertilizer which have higher P n K...and high pollanated a few mores flowers

Yes, I am using F1 seed. That is an important step to ensure you have a quality breed.

Wow, I can imagine all your crops are growing wells Leave it to the nature , if you have bees helping you.

@@TonysExploration Yeah they are growing really big, I just dont know if I should put them vertically, it feels messy when I go to look and water them, and i cant weed easily, I havent been able to since a while ago since theres so many leaves and stems. im afraid that something will happen if I put it verticle since there is already melons about a tennis ball or bigger growing, but it just feels so messy with how many are growing, and the space inside the raised garden feels like its getting to small😞

@@Ariel-lol , the stems very fragile and probably entangle each other. Let it be. Next season, you have can start again with better proper planning and build the trellis first.

I planted mine in june 19 and im in zone 9 lol my 3 plants are growing strong

@@znake109 Thank you. I will sow tomorrow.

@@josiebridges3583 remember moist not wet its really exciting seeing it grow plant is really healthy i wouldnt leave it once sprouted directly in the sun i tested this with one plant and it died due to the heat wave ! If the sun hits a spot early morning try to figure out and time the shade so let the sun hit early morning since its not that hot and once its really hot point your plant will be in the shade thats what im doing and my plants are really thriving

Better be fast..

@@TonysExploration Thank you.

Actually I tie a string from the top and the main stem just climbed and wrapped around the string

@@TonysExploration Thank you

outdoor work fine, but indirect sunlight

no worries, you will eventually get female . The first 4-5 normally are male flower Now if you have doubt, check out another video , the yellow water melon , I do show the exact differences between male vs female flower. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7BzeaR9r8u1ops.html

Depends, I keep only the most two per plant

@@TonysExploration I really appreciate your response Tony 💕. Thank you so much friend 😊
