  • The process took me 31 days. I bought the plant so I kind of skipped the seed starting process. Hope you enjoyed the video! Please like and share.

    I really like your format of videos, the fact that you do one video covering the majority of the life of the plant rather than doing a VLOG type thing, thank you for taking the time to make them like this, it must be a nightmare to sort though all the footage you take !

    Hell yeah do the follow up! I've been intending to attempt to grow a watermelon plant in hydroponics for years now for the simple fact I'm so tired of the store bought chemically induced seedless mushy ones you find at all the stores now! Good job and thanks for the inspiration!

    @nightwaves3203 7 лет назад

    I have both watermelon and cantaloupe growing hydroponically in 5 gallon buckets outside. Cantaloupe sucks up water fast and I'm sure the watermelon a little behind is going to do the same. Better make sure you keep an eye on your fluid levels and have nutrients premixed and ready to go. Your container looks like it keeps light out preventing algae. But I wonder about light getting through the other holes and your black box will heat the water which is bad. Use some white plastic or cardboard or something to keep the black from heating in the sun. Good luck with water consumption once the melons takeoff getting bigger. I'm looking at a larger reservoir and valves to make sure I never have the plants wanting nutrients.

    I'm growing water for the first time my self and I would love a harvest video. also, from my research I've been told you did only let each vine have one fruit and once there's a fruit cut the rest of the vine off

  • @brucefuller381
    @brucefuller381 7 лет назад

    I love your videos. Q: why would you cut off vines? I would think if you defruited down to 2 fruit, the more vines feeding the remainder, the bigger they'll get.

  • @GnarlyGroove
    @GnarlyGroove 7 лет назад +2

    Quick question: Is it 100% safe to eat a fruit from a plant that was grown mainly on synthetic nutrients? I mean, in comparison with another fruit from a plant grown naturally in soil, without any added substances other than water.
    Thanks for your videos Khang Starr!

    • @KhangStarr
      @KhangStarr  7 лет назад +3

      Sorry I can't comment on safety because I don't know, but I can tell you that I eat it all the time =)

    • @GnarlyGroove
      @GnarlyGroove 7 лет назад +1

      It would probably be a good idea to do some research on that! There has to be some products that are safe, though. If you ever find out, please make a video on this!! (I don't get why no one else is concerned with this)

    • @vojtator
      @vojtator 7 лет назад

      Depends on what substances. For example: Soil bacteria usually convert bonded nitrogen to nitrates so plants are used to accept it in that state. If you add nitrate fertilizer, it is safe. However using naturally not occuring compounds is not very clever because plants "don't know what to do with them". So using pesticides and stuff like that is pretty bad.
