In this video I demonstrate how to care for watermelon plants during the Grow Season. One Game Changer tip is to prune the vines of the plant. This means to take the suckers off the vine. The sucker is a secondary vine that branches off from the main vine. When there are more that one watermelon on a vine it’s best to prune one melon off. This will cause the plant to place more energy into the watermelon that is left on the vine. Increasing the side of the watermelon is the side effect of pruning. Fertilizing throughout the growing season is also a critical element in producing a giant. I use compost as well as compost tea. The tea stretches a long way. This is an organic fertilizer that can be applied as much as the grower desires. The plant will not burn because of the tea. Checking the leaves for bugs will help identify problems. Bugs can suck the sap out of the plants causing major problems if not dealt with. Remember to water the plants at the base because by doing so decreases the chance of diseases. Fungus on the plant may stop the production of the fruit. When harvesting the watermelons make sure the tendrils are dried out and cut back on watering to insure the watermelons are sweet. Lastly using mulch will help you with watering. The chances of irregular watering decreases.
