I accidentally cut the steam ,can it be fixed? 😭
@@mlndnlmtp6568 ,no worries, the side shoot will become the main stem again.
Just delay a bit!
@@TonysExploration thank you 😊
THANKS for sharing . Very well illustrated on how to grow sweet Melon from seeds. 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for drawing it out. It helped me a lot. I have about 15 seedlings and I’m not sure what my next steps are. This video helped me figure that out ! ❤
Keep it up!
Hai,terima kasih buat video ni ..penjelasan yang lengkap dengan penerangan atas kertas lagi,terbaiklah👍
Terima kasih sudi menonton..harap bermanfaat
aw it’s impressive to see how to grow melons in a planter!! Awesome 👍🏻
I will post a similar video soon, this time using a different method and different variety.
This guy is a legend for answering his questions
I take that as compliment,😉
Yes thank you for answering…I’m learning from the questions and answers also. Great video!
I'm a student BSA as part of our laboratory we're going to plant muskmelon. Thanks for this video it'll help me a lot
Good luck ! 🤞

I failed at growing muskmelon last year but this year I've successfully pollinated a female flower and leaving a comment here (since I'm using the techniques that you showed ) which I can come back to and update when I've harvested it!! Best muskmelon video on yt!
I am thrilled, happy gardening and big thank you 🥰🥰
Did you get a harvest?
@@ReapingTheHarvest oh yes! Apartment melons are small for sure. But i harvested 3 and the 4th one I had to leave behind for a neighbour since I moved away and it was still not ripe. They were sweet! My neighbour cut her's open today.
Will tryout next summer.
I learned a lot watch this video. Thank you. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada.🇨🇦
To the point thanks for the comprehensive video u gained one more subscriber 😃
Thanks for the sub!
You are great at gardening! I will try to get my hands on some Cantaloupe seeds
Also can you grow Cantaloupe indoors?
@@southernenglandproductions8228 in theory, but you wanna give it a lot of warmth, light and fertiliser. Which country are you in?
A beautifully presented video grown from seed to fruit.
Wow! Really enjoyed watching till the end.
Like done 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
Great video! The pruning diagram is very helpful. I’ve been looking for that info everywhere and finally found it here.
Glad it was helpful!
Woh ! 😎 It was so awesome planting 👍🏻
So nice of you
Fruit is ready when it slips. It appears immature. In fact, the fruit would fall off the vine without a sling before it's ideally ripe.
I harvest 4 out of 5....another one did go a bit longer and it certainly taste sweeter
It ideal harvest yes. But unlike watermelon muskmelon can ripen a bit off the vine.
@@gcc2313 You think? Hasn't been my experience. Softer, but not sweeter.
@@C3Voyage I agree with you even though I am not a grower myself but eat a lot of it! I saw when he picked they look a bit immature like you said.
Very cool! I would leave it on the vine a bit longer until it has more of a cream color and not so green. It’ll be juicier and sweeter. But nice jibe producing multiple fruit!
i have my 2 babies outside, they succeeded so far out of the many seeds i planted!! so proud of them, one is bigger than the other and as of today has a female flower that ive pollinated today
👍 yeah, once fruit setting, it will grow very fast ..keep it up!
Great video! Thank you! 🍈😊
i wasnt looking at any video on how to plant this, after eating was trying put all the seeds in a small plastic container coz i wasnt sure it will grow and now they all growing in one container.. i guess i have to separate them and hopefully i could harvest sometime soon hehehe.. thanks for the video appreacited..
Thanks for sharing this
Thank you for stopping by my channel 😁
Thank you for your time laps of growing your cantaloupe, very helpful in my endeavors.
Happy Gardening! Hope you have a bountiful harvest this season!
Hi Tony, really enjoy the video, inspired me to try as well. A quick question if I may, after you harvest the fruit, how do you plan for the next harvest? Do you re pollinate the female flower above leave 7 again? Do you pause a week or two before doing that?
Melon only can survive one season, that means after harvest , you have to start all over again.
I love your plants dude I'm a mega fan of you
Thanks you!
I used this video and so far my seeds have germinated and ready to be transplanted, thanks for the help.
Glad it helped
auto playlist👍🤣
Great Video! My cantaloupe seeds just started sprouting. Nice to know harvest time is relatively short
Ya, still early in the season!
The drawing was a big help
Thanks, I am not good at explaining or talking in front camera....guess drawing best way to illustrate it....
Can you grow them in the UK are is it just in warmer countries?
Yes you can, there are a few of my subscribers who live in UK have successfully grown and harvest melon. Give it a try.
Wow ..sangat menarik sekali.salam
Terima kasih..
Keep it up. Love watching your video.
Thank you! Will do!
What happen to the plant after u harvest the first fruit? Are u cut it or it will grow another fruit?
No , once harvested, the plant no longer has the energy to be productive again
It is considered the end of the season.
Oh alright i just grow my first cantaloupe plant and it's doing well, thank you for the replies tho🙋♂️❤
Excuse me, what fertilizers did you use? Thank you.
Nice thumbnail
How to knw which is male and female flower?? Mine started wif seeds and now abt 3wks in.. i really want to succeed in planting tis..
Check out my golden melon video, I have shown in details...is basically the same across all melon families
@@TonysExploration
I was thinking to ask the same!
Will watch the golden melon video to find my answer, thank you Tony.
Very cool!!! But not enough information to us the viewers.
Awesome
Well done👏🏽
Thank you!
I grew hydroponics cantaloupe amd harvest in 60 days and weighs 1.4- 1.8kgs. What surprises me is how small your pot is. What are the fertilizers you are using? Good job!
Maybe next time I will use AB solution to see if I can harvest in 60 data instead of 91 , and get bigger fruit size. I only use normal 4:16:16
Did you grow that indoors?
Nope, is outdoor
Very good
I like mine softer but good growing method
Thank you for stopping by my channel!
Hello sir, what type of baja u use before flowering?
NPK 4:16:16
Grew mine outside and tried to let nature do all the work. 5 plants and only one of them fruited. Should’ve manually pollinated. But better than nothing. It’s about 2/3 the size of yours. I didn’t pinch off the end after the cantaloupe. I’ll do all this next year. This was a fairly cold summer in PA.
Not bad, is a great start. Yeah, some time could not count on the bees..
Can we grow them on any kind of soil?
as long as the pH is correct , yes you can!
What should the ph be? @@TonysExploration
have you made about apples starting from seeds
may considered, but should be end of the year. I have so many ongoing crops, peach and papaya on the horizon
When it seeds everyday is needed to use water.Plz tell me
Yes , I water every morning,but the amount is different, depend on the growth rate and weather
My cantaloupe & Watermelon 🍉 seedling's are ready to transplant now🥰
Great! Soon you harvest yr own sweet melon
@@TonysExploration YES! So Excited 😁
Nice
Thank you
Nice video 👍 I will use it like a Bible for my plants thanks. I was just wondering where you got that plant food from? Also is there another option?
Thanks in advance
Thank you for stopping by my channel...for fertilizer, in the beginning stage, any fertilizer will equal NPK will do...once fruit set..you need to find those high in P and K but low in N. Also ,make sure the source of calcium is enough else the fruit might crack... alternative to the egg shells is Yara Calcinit
Bro this person grew them in the city. Wow!
Thank you for stopping by my channel!
Those are beautiful don’t know if I get it but gonna watch till I do. Thank you.
Keep it up!
Thank you Tony
How do you know which are female shoots and male
side shoots will mostly develop the female flowers. The main stem will likely develop the male flower
I threw like 30 seeds outside in my yard and nearly all of them sprouted to seedlings, I’m not to sure how I’m gonna separate them since there all growing together. Any tips on how to transfer them into pots or should I just keep them growing in the ground ??
Let it on the ground, just do some thinning.
Looks like a lot of hard work! I'll better buy those pesticide ridden ones from the market!...
You will be rewarded...happy gardening
Oh wow, you did amazing job 🥰
Thank you
wow❤
Thanks Tony
"side shoots" is the tentacle-like thinggy? like the hands of the plant?
Nope, side shoots are actual shoot with leaves , not tentacle
Very good! The video I have been looking for. Bookmarked and saved.
Male flower from same plant or a different plant?
From the same plant....male will be from the main stem... female will be from the side sucker stems
@@TonysExploration Thank you. Female from 8 - 11 Pinch top at 30. Got it.
I'm going to do this!
awesome!
крутое видео😀
Thank you!
Hi, thank you for this video.
I’ve been growing some seeds and I’m only getting male flowers, do you know why? I have a lot of male flower on the same branch.
Thank you
Female come from the sideshoots
@@TonysExploration any tips to get the female flowers?
@@Ss.009 make sure you let the side-shoots grow wild ...it will eventually come.
Could you do guavas?
Sure, I can try plant that..
egg shells dont breakdown that fast so what does it actually do
The idea is to give calcium to your plants, it's good for encouraging fruiting I think. You can add vinegar to eggshells, let it sit for a while, then dilute with water and put it on the plants.
When is best to plant seeds in MST region?
How much fruit per plant did you get using your method?
I keep one per plant.
@@TonysExploration in my opinion thats an inefficient use of space and time. You can get multiple melons from a single plant if you have space. After the plant reaches maturity it can produce fruit much faster than growing a new plant. I would give each plant 3-5+ fruits each depending on how long your growing season is for them.
How many melons did you grow per plant?
1 only
Thanks for such detailed video.
Does it has any nice smell while growing?
No, not until when is ready for harvest
I just harvested Tigger melons, these little beauties smelled insanely good while growing but were kind of disappointing in flavor. Not a good sweet eating melon but man that scent will fool you. Better used to make a sorbet base or with prosciutto, maybe smoothie base. They are also insanely beautiful red and yellow striped.
The pinching technique is dope
How do you know when to harvest, does it give off a scent?
should have a deep, sweet scent, so smell it. Also , anything above 95 days, should be ripe!
Can 1 male pollinate more than 1 female flower?
Definitely can
Omg Wow!!! Thanks for this upload, I’m going to have to try this!! Do you know if we can use the seeds from these fresh melons that we buy from the supermarket? Or do we hv to use those seeds that they specially sell at the nurseries? Also which potting soil did you use? Did you make your own potting soil mix?
Supermarket melons seed will do as well....my presentation preference is the Sakata Glamour seeds. Nothing special on the potting mix , as long as enough aged compost and good drainage will do..give it a try
@@TonysExploration Thank you soo much!!!’ 🙏🏻
I use seeds from a previously purchased grocery store melon and it worked for me every year. You can save lots of seeds for growing your own food.
Insect net or green house?
Just insect net
@@TonysExploration is it available online?
I feel super motivated and super relaxed! lol. Great video! have you tried to produce 2 fruits per vine? Would they do better in more direct sunshine? My plants are day 32 so I need to become decisive soon! Thanks
I rarely do two per vine. If you want the big , super sweet , better to have one per vine. At least 6 hrs of light.
Can it's trails grow on ground?
Can, sure can
Ohkk
Thanks
Did you water in the morning or evening?
Morning
My cantaloupe still havent sprouted its been 5 days im using miracle gro potting soil and an indoor grow light
Hang on a bit longer. It soon will germinate when the temperature is warm enough. don't compare the timing with my video , I live in tropical...things grow like weeds here, 😊
TE FELICITO POR EL EMPEÑO
Thank you
Great video! Thanks for sharing 👍. Question: mine sprouted from a fresh seed. I put it in a small pot to grow, should I let it continue to grow indoors until it get leaves on it? TIA 😊
Yes , you could continue to do indoor but make sure have sunlight or LED grow light...try to expose to sun for hardening process once ready for transplant
@@TonysExploration thank you for answering my question. Most don't. I'll be sure to sub 😊
how often do you water your melons? because my melon plant just died with yellow color on the leaves and i dont know if its due to overwatering..
Every morning. To be honest, the water regime is very subjective, the amount also subjective, depend on the plant growth and also the weather. The golden rule always moist. Yellow colour could due to fungus attack or root rot.
👍👍
What size pot did you transfer to..
5 gallon pots
I'm now addicted to your channel.
Please does this cantaloupe taste nice as papaya or watermelon?
How does this plant survive under the shed without sun? I don't really like cuncumber. Maybe I can give this a trial.
Again can I apply egg shells on watermelon?
Egg shells is good for soil for calcium ..but is not an instant fix..the calcium dissolve very slow..but of course my soil is an ongoing process...I keep adding along the way.
Beautiful 😍
Nossa que melao lindo
Hi Tony, I enjoyed your video. Can you do a video on how you made your trellis and enclosure. I’m getting ready to plant my cantaloupe and watermelon. Thank you for the video again.
Thank you for stopping by my channel. Let me check back if I still have those footage on the enclosure. I lost a big chuck of data when my hard disk crash last year. The enclosure is not necessary, unless your area prone to whitefly pest...i think my cherry tomato video does show a portion how this was built. Anyway...the trellis is a simple individual stick put in the middle of each pot, around 5 feet long, then I tie a horizontal stick. to stabilize it. The top i just tie a string down to guide the plant
Inside your house? Without direct sunligth?
No, this is outdoor with netting with full blast of sun
Great video!! I am at day 32 and wondering what to do about pinching off the 7 if I have multiple shoots from one seed?? You have one long, main vine, but I have about 3 or 4 vines from each of the 4 seeds that I planted.
You definitely on the right tracks and the good thing is you have 4 seeds. The best part about gardening is always about experiment and observations. I would suggest you try to take a plant and cut off the multiple vine and left only a single stem. The rest 3 seeds, maybe maintain multiple vines. At the end of season, observe which give you the best quality melons .. happy gardening!
Did it work
After harvested the fruit, can we keep the tree for next female flower to bloom and let it fruit again? Or, 1 tree 1 harvest only?
I honestly never try before.I did observe for a while after harvest....the lower part sprouts out new stems that I believe capable of carrying new fruits..but I only practice 1 tree 1 harvest.... commercial grower purposely reduce the water intake to sweeten the melon....that make next flowering impossible
You can def get multiple off one plant. Just let it go wild and maybe put a little effort into pollination.
@@Falcodrin , next time i will try let it crawl on the floor and get multiple fruits per plant...is worth to experiment this
I have grow melons this year, 6 plants. I am hoping to get a couple of melons, i have grown them a few years ago in a heated bed, and we got 3 or 4 mellons OUTSIDE in the UK. It was epic!
Oh yes, I live in Liverpool when I was a student , and UK weather can be very depressing ( sorry to said that) , not much sunny day , to get melon was indeed epic!
Growing Melons here as well but the amphids are killing them all the remedies are not working
@@newbeginningwithnaydia5039 That why I always grow inside the net. If you look carefully, all these melons are grown inside the insect net enclosure.
How to differentiate male to female flowers?
I would recommend you watch this watermelon video...the flowers are basically the same .ua-cam.com/video/-JCFALJeQrg/v-deo.html
How to know which one is male flower?
Male have petals only . Female have a bulb behind the petals. It is very obvious if you see it. Most of the time, the male is more than female
My plant is roughly 60 days. The fruit is misuse and doesn't seem to be growing bigger.
What could be the issue?
How do I know which flower is female and which is male?
The female have bulb behind the petals, the male don't have.
If you need a visual aid to distinguish the difference, please check out the yellow watermelon video.
Scroll to 1.25 minute. Link at below

wow your melons is so yummy to eat.. now I'm craving in seeing this videos.. your wife or children sir would really be appreciated that they would also know the value of the diff between growing by your own or depends buying in market where if you buy in market your going to buy 3rd or 4th hand fruits or vege. unlike if you have your own
Ya kid nowadays don't know where the crops come from....and harvesting own crops....the satisfaction is priceless
Many questions this video doesn't answer.
What is the daily routine?
At what day should i provide egg shells? Does it mater what day?
What is the sun bathing time frame?
What is the water ration is should provide.
I take that as positive feedback, give me 2 weeks time, I will upload another video on muskmelon with complete explanation on pot size, fertilizer regime , watering, pest and time to harvest ...etc.
@@TonysExploration thank you. Greatly appreciated. I know its alot of information to provide, but its all into the details.
❤❤
your episode sir quite so interesting and I know that melon too have great source of vit c like mlunggay or moringa. few people know it
Nothing beat a home grown Vege n fruits!
Great video, but fyi putting eggshells into the soil is a waste of time. They would need to compost for a very long time to provide any nutrients to the plant. And eggshells are the slowest things to compost that there is. Plants don’t directly feed off of these things
I agree, the fastest way is still using calcium nitrate.
