This is our first attempt growing pumpkin / mathan in aquaponics and result so far hasn’t been all that encouraging.
We planted a pumpkin seedling a couple of months ago on an aquaponic growbed. Plant grew fast and looked healthy. Since pumpkin plant is a creeper we spread a layer of coconut leaf to protect the plant from heat.
There were plenty of flowers and many turned into tiny pumpkins. I was hopeful of a good harvest, but unfortunately only one made it big. May be it is the heat on the roof top or may be something else. Need to test more.
