Hydroponic Cantaloupe

So i started a little experiment about a month ago, I germed some cantaloupe and put them in rockwool cubes, when they out the cubes I put them in a dwc system. A month later they became huge and took over my grow cabinet so i got rid of all but one.

Anyways if anyones interested ill post some follow up pics next week

OMG those things are gonna be huge!! lol

nice
r u gonna self pollenate them or just let them grow?
i planted some outside a few months ago,but right afterwards a bad flood came through
im interested in watching

I just started self pollenating just with a brush but theres a couple spots where its already budding ill post some pics later

You better start building a trellis or netting. They are going to spread out and look for things to climb.

P.S. A dollar store electric tooth brush works great when you need to pollinate plants.
The vibration stirs the hell out of the pollen.

oh damn i hadn't even thought of that, good call. Iv been trimming the plant back alot but Ill have to get a trellis. Thank you for the advice dirty harry

Good luck. I have done indoor tomatoes but never a vining type of plant.
I might try cucumbers some time.

P.S. Trimming it back would work. You keep one or two vines only you could end up with a few very large cantaloupes. Being me, I would go for getting as many as you can on this experiment.

you could try letting it run up a line then just drape it back down like the farmers do with cucumbers. That plant is going to get BIG.

looking good. can't wait to see
