Do some pollinated melons grow slower than others? I knew right away that pear shaped melon had set,as it was much larger the day after . I pollinated 2 on Sunday and 2 days later I was going to cull them because I was convinced they did not take. This morning I went to cull them and one looked larger. Maybe just my imagination. It was pretty big at pollination. Do they take a couple of days to get started sometimes? Been really hot and humid for the last 2 weeks.
