PREP GROWING MEDIA
Soak the coco brick in 1 gallon of warm water. Coir will expanc to 2 gallons of ready to use coir potting mix. Drain well. Hydrate organic soil wafers by adding water a little at a time. Once hydrated, mix the coco coir and soil until. well blended. Add mixture to grow bag.
PLANT SEEDS
Make five evenly spaced holes in your potting mix, 1 inch deep. Plant one seed per hole and cover. Place in a warm location. Keep the rest of your seeds for future plantings.
KEEP WARM DURING GERMINATION
Place in a warm area and wait for seeds to sprout (-7 days). Keep soil moist but not soaking wet. Water seeds gently every 1-2 days or when soil. is dry.
MONITOR HEAT, LIGHT, MOISTURE
Once seeds have germinated, movo your sunniest spot. (Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.) If your seedlings grow thin and weak they are not getting enough light. You’ll. know they are in the right spot when you see sturdy stems and dark green leaves.
Keep moist but never soaking wet.

THIN SEEDLINGS

After 2 weeks, thin your seedlings to make room for vigorous growth. Using sharp scissors snip off the weakest looking plants.

FERTILIZE

To enhance growth add organic compost or worm castings after 4 weeks around the base of the plants and continue regularly according to fertilizer instructions.

GROW HAPPY PLANTS

Keep your plant in the sunniest spot you have. The more light your plants have, the better they will grow. South and west spaces will get the most light. Water every 1-2 days or when the soil. feels dry one inch below the surface.

STAKE

Watermelons can grow along the ground. However, if desired, to save space you can gently tie your vines to stakes as they grow. Use fallen branches or purchase gardening stakes. Staking your plants can help them get more sun. It can also protect your plants from pests and diseases.

HARVEST

Harvest your melons when the underside turns a buttery yellow. Harvest by gently pulling the fruit from the plant. Time from seed to harvest: 75-90 days
