Im putting in 2 acres of seedless and seeded watermelons this year and Ive been having a hard time getting them to stay alive. I bought a heating mat and planted 4 varieties each in 50 plug trays. 200 seedlings in total, that I planted Saturday the 27th. They were up sprouted in 3 days. They seemed to grow really tall and fall over. I had them in a window with good light and its just been to cold in ohio this past week to put them out, today they were out all day but didnt seem to help the tall ones very much. Will good sunlight save the ones that havent fallen over and can i fertilize them in the trays to make them strong.
