| I've ordered some heirlooom watermelon seeds;
Golden Midget
Black Seeded Ice Cream
White Sugar Lump
Takii Gem
I can't quite decide on the best way to grow them. I'm basically trying to decide between ebb and flow and a drip system.
The ebb and flow would consist of 10" net pots filled with hydroton, 5 gal bucket per plant. The drip system would be a mixture of perlite and vermiculite, 5 gal bucket per plant.
Any thoughts on this? I have had some success growing sugar babies in 5 gal containers filled with pro-mix (hand-watering). Leaning towards a system filled with medium, but I have never tried a drip system before. |
