Professional Planting & Care:

1. Bed Preparation: Prepare raised beds at least 30 cm high and 1–1.20 meters wide to facilitate drainage and promote deep root development.
2. Pollination Requirement: IMPORTANT: As a seedless variety, Smoothie 2 requires interplanting with a seeded watermelon variety at a ratio of 3–4 seedless plants to 1 seeded plant to ensure successful pollination.
3. Transplanting: For the best field establishment, move seedlings to the plot when they are 9–12 days old.
4. Vine Management: 10–15 days after transplanting, prune the vines to leave the 3 strongest branches per plant.
5. Fruit Selection: Remove the first female flower. Select the second or third flower (around the 13th node or higher) to maximize fruit weight and ensure uniform sugar distribution.
