Looks like these fruit grow for about 50 days or so? what is the ideal pollination date?

do you want the fruit growing in june/july (more sun hours) or august/sept (cooler weather)?

According to climate they grow any where from 45-60+ days. Here about 45 days. With cooler nights you may be able to pull off a longer season. Warm weather you tend to get high weight gains per day. Finding the balance between maximum daily gains and longevity is tough. Each climate has pros and cons, but you can experiment with different planting dates and see what works best for you. Good Luck
