I have a question for you, I have a melon growing super fast and averaging 4.4 pounds a day the last 9 days at least at day 23 now est. 90 pounds. The melon has some oozing on a rib some days it does not seep and some days its does. Have you ever had one do this?I think it may heal itself in time, any ideas if any what to do? Thanks Marty

I will warn you that melons suffer most from rot. I worry about anything that even indicates that rot is present. I recommend that powder dry that area as well as you can using some some type of dust (sevin or something).

I hope for the best for you, but I don't know.

Wow... I hope she holds together for you. Captan powder &/or a fan maybe?
