These require a slightly longer growing season, usually 80 to 85 days to fruit harvest. Blooms may appear anytime in a four- to eight-week period. Seedless Types. Seedless watermelon varieties (all are triploid hybrids), also require 80 to 85 days until fruit harvest from time of planting. These will flower within the same four- to eight-week window as main season types.
Seedless Watermelon Production. To make seedless watermelons, the number of chromosomes in traditional melons are doubled by adding the chemical colchicine. This doubling leads to a plant with four sets of chromsones, called a tetraploid plant. The tetraploid is then pollinated with the original diploid melon, and out comes a seedless watermelon seed!
