The cause may not be far away from the applied fertilizer.

I am so sorry to hear your loss. I pray you don't lost the entire farm.

MANGAM: Day 27: Today is a very sad day for me. Words can't describe how I feel right now. My melon are dying, fading away right b4 my eyes and all I could was watch helplessly

Jesus Christ! This is a blow for me cos ive been following this thread. It was doing great on day 26, so what could be the cause. Someone said its the fertilizer but i dont recall anyone voicing their concern (about the applicaton of fertilizer) at the start of this thread or perhaps i missed it.

So sorry op. I hope you can salvage some, please keep us informed whatever the case may be and dont be discouraged.

Sorry about that. I thought those whitish things were fertilizers.

I always admire your resiliency, so I pray you make it through successfully.
