               I know I'm all over the place and there is a chance my pH is 8.2
 
   don't judge me     :)

               I am new to melons but my guess is that melons would like roughly the same nutrients levels and ratios as pumpkins. However, do not quote me on this.

               I think the most important thing to do is make sure your nitrogen is sufficent while plant is young & vining out.
