here are the steps;
First clean and level the area
Then place the Agriculture black plastic mulch
Growing media
I’m going to use coco peat as growing media
You need black polybag (16 inches X 16 inches).
Then place them on the bricks
The Irrigation
-Things required:
4 mm micro tubing
16 mm End cup
4 mm Dripper
1 pcs TEE 16 mm
2 pcs Elbow 16mm
16 mm poly Pipe
4 mm hole puncher
4 mm nipper
I’m making a small experiment to show you how to make the irrigation system
Place the 16 mm poly pipe under the bags
Close the ends of the pipe with the end cups
And use elbow and tees to connect the pipes
Use the Puncher and make a hole on the pipe
Then insert the nipper inside to connect with the 4mm tube
Repeat the same process for all bags
I’m using this 55-gallon barrel as a reservoir
I made this small window on top of the barrel
connect the pipe to the water pump
Water pump:
Power 45 Watt
H. MAX: 3M
F.MAX: 3000 L/H
you need to wash coco peat before using
Next Fill the reservoir with water
Turn on the water pump
drip with water to flush tannins in coco peat
Flush until you see clean water coming out from the bottom of the polybag
After washing the coco peat now we can start planting
I’m going to grow rock melon from seeds
Place the seed on top, as shown in the video
Then program the digital timer to run once a day for a minute
In the germination stage drip with water only once a day for a minute
Continue with water until you see true leaves appear then we start to give the hydroponic fertilizer
Preparing the hydroponic solution
Fill your reservoir with tap water
most hydroponic gardeners use liquid or dry fertilizers
Liquid fertilizers are often easier to use because they are easy to measure and don't require much mixing
Add fertilizer (A+B) in small increments to avoid over fertilizing.
Stir the reservoir by hand or use a pump to circulate the nutrient solution to disperse the concentrated fertilizer after each addition
Check the EC after adding fertilizer and continue adding small amounts of fertilizer until the target EC is reached
My target is between 1.7-2.0
My water pH level is 7, if your pH level is not between (5.5 _ 7)
adjust your pH by using pH down or pH up.
Turn on the water pump Drip in measuring cup for 1 minute
We need to know the amount of water coming from the dripper in 1 minute to program the digital timer.
For rock melon seedlings, daily needs 500 ml
You need to prune your plants, simply remove the first 8 suckers shooting off the stems
Male flower will appear first
Female flower has a swelling at the base of the flower
Hand pollination
Hand pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male flower to the female to ensure successful fertilization
Pollinating by hand is easy
Pick the nice and the open male flower
When you grow any melon plant vertically you need to hang the fruit.
Melons are warm season crops
Harvesting
When the rind changed from green to the tan/yellow
your fruit is ready to be picked
thanks for watching
