Fruit Appearance
Kandemir F1 produces oval fruits with a dark green, thin rind – typical of the "sugar baby" type. The flesh is deep red and juicy, with high sugar content and excellent flavour. Good uniformity in shape and size allows direct market sales without additional grading.
Plant and Yield
Kandemir F1 is a super early hybrid maturing in just 65 days – among the earliest in its category. It performs well in both open-field and tunnel production, offering flexibility in season planning. Tunnel growing pushes harvest even earlier, giving growers a clear head start on the market. Available at theseeds.shop.

What is the recommended sowing density and spacing for Kandemir F1?
Recommended plant population is 600 – 1,000 plants/decare with row spacing of 180–200 cm and 80–100 cm within the row. Seeding rate is 0.15–0.25 kg/decare at 20–25 seeds/g. Transplant production requires 40–60 g of seed per decare. When growing under tunnels, spacing may be adjusted to match tunnel width.
What is the germination temperature for the seeds?
The optimum soil temperature for watermelon is 20°C. Transplanting should take place only after soils have warmed reliably – particularly important for early tunnel production where temperature management is easier.
What are the main growing risks?
The primary risks for a thin-skinned "sugar baby" type are fruit cracking from uneven irrigation, fungal diseases in high-humidity tunnel environments, and sunscald when foliage cover is insufficient in open field. Drip irrigation with a balanced watering schedule and good tunnel ventilation are strongly recommended.
Is Kandemir F1 suited for tunnel production and early market entry?
Yes – both are its core strengths. At 65 days to maturity it sits firmly in the super early category. Tunnel production pushes harvest ahead of open-field growing, giving growers a clear pricing advantage at the start of the season.
What market does it target and what is the sugar content like?
Kandemir F1 targets the fresh market – farm stands, wholesale markets and local retail. At 7–9 kg it is a convenient retail size. High sugar content and deep red flesh are the defining qualities buyers look for in the "sugar baby" type. The thin rind, however, limits suitability for long-distance transport.
