What bad luck. This melon was doing good when I first noticed it but now it's upside-down.
Per the recommendation of the lab I mixed my tank with the just the nutrients needed. I needed nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, and boron. My tank has these now in what I think are proper proportions. I'm up to about 900 ppm. Automatic fertigation is in effect.
Side note. I'm getting old leaves. I'll need to let some growth regenerate on the top. I'm up to 11 females on the ten plants. My test results showed good nitrogen (at the time) but extremely high phosphorus. Maybe really high P is kicking them out for me. Still none of the melons are in the perfect spot with a plant big enough to crank it out. Gives me practice at pollination. Problem there is that waiting for them to open is making me late for work
