Pull up Christa's Garden channel, and look for a video she titled "How to hand pollinate Watermelon flowers"(6 yrs ago), and see the difference... she got a jump start on her watermelons...huge melons. One she had hanging in a sling! 😮
Great Video! 😊 I started sugar baby watermelon in my bounty. I'm at day 49 and I have 4 baby watermelons on my plant. One the size of a golf ball and the other 3 are a little bit bigger than a quarter. 😁
@@aerogardenexperiments Yes, I'm quite excited about it. 😁 You should definitely give them another try. I'm going to try the golden midget next.🤞🏼 Especially after seeing your success with them.
@@XInfinity2024Not at all! My 1st female flower popped up before I had any male flowers. However, by the next day I had male and female flowers in full bloom. I pollinated 4 total and I pinched off any new flowers. Two of them survived and are thriving. I think the capacity of the bounty can only sustain two watermelons at a time. I have two quick shorts on my channel showing there progress if you want to check it out. 😊
I really enjoy watching these experiments. I would love it if you could include the EC and PH of your nutrient solution throughout the grow. That would be really helpful
No, I never touched the roots. Since it is Bounty, the chances of the roots going into the pump are a little less, but the roots went into the water sensor, and it stopped working. However, I have not been touching the system yet. Once I harvest the watermelons, I will clean the bowl. Still, I am not going to trim the roots intentionally, but they may lose some roots while cleaning.
I love your channel, so cool with everything you are trying to grow. I have learned a lot. Ty for doing this.
You are so welcome. Glad you enjoy it!
I just found your channel and wanted to say thank you for the content. I am really enjoying all the different tips! ❤

Thank you very much ! I will watch today
Just watched. I just subbed to her.
I like her style; very thorough, calm

That's great progress so far. I need to try sugar baby again.

Did you struggle with your watermelons to produce?

So exciting! Thanks for sharing. Once I’m done growing the ground cherries, this is next.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider those details in my future videos.
Perfect ! 🙂
excellent!
Love it! Did you trim the roots? How did the motor keep running with all the roots?

Sadly, there was no clear viewing of what a male and female flower looks like.
Camera was too far away 😢
Cool experiment though 😎
Please see my comment above... it went to wrong place. 🙈
I have a dedicated video talking about male and female flowers. th-cam.com/video/8KJbTD_dDUw/w-d-xo.html
@@aerogardenexperiments thank you, Sir!
I will watch it
The female flowers has a protrusion behind the flower. The protrusion develops into the watermelon and the male flower is just a normal looking stem.
Try cutting the roots a little
If you cut thee root, it will die. That is common with melon.
