The growth process of gourds can be roughly divided into four stages: germination stage, seedling stage, initial flowering stage and melon setting stage. The germination period refers to the period from seed germination to the appearance of the first true leaf, usually around 5-7 days; the seedling stage refers to the cotyledons unfolding to grow 4 to 5 true leaves, which takes about 25 days; the initial flowering stage begins with the first female flower. The time from emergence to the first melon growing; the melon-bearing period from the first melon root to the end of harvesting, generally takes about 50 days.

1. Growth process
1. Germination period: The germination period mainly refers to the period from when the gourd is sown to when it grows its first leaves. Under suitable conditions such as temperature and moisture, it usually takes about 5 to 7 days.
2. Seedling stage: After the true leaves unfold, they gradually grow up and perform photosynthesis, providing nutrients for the continued growth of the seedlings. The period from the first true leaf to the expansion of 4 to 5 true leaves is the seedling stage, which takes about 25 days.
3. Early flowering period: It refers to the stage when the first female flowers appear and open to the first melon root. Generally, it takes about 20-25 days from the seedling planting to the first female flower blooming and fruit setting.
4. Melon-bearing period: The melon-bearing period is from the first melon root to the end of harvest. The surface of the fruit is smooth, initially green and then turning white or yellow, with the upper part smaller than the lower part. The melon-bearing period is generally about 50 days.
2. Breeding methods
1 .Soil: Strong growth ability, low soil requirements, general soil can meet its growth conditions. However, it is best to choose soil that is fertile, has good drainage and permeability, and has a soil pH value of about 7 for planting, which will help it grow better and increase yield.
2. Temperature: It likes a warm growing environment. When planting, try to keep the temperature at about 15 degrees, which is conducive to rooting and germination and improves the germination rate and survival rate. During the growth process, keep the temperature at about 20 degrees, not too high or too low.
3. Moisture: It has higher requirements for moisture and is difficult to grow. It needs to be replenished with sufficient water in time during the process. Especially during the flowering and fruiting stage, the demand for water will increase. However, the amount of water should be controlled between harvests to prevent excessive water from reducing the storability of the gourds.
4. Light: Gourds have a greater demand for light. When planting, you must choose a place with good lighting conditions. It is best to choose an open place for planting. If you are growing gourds at home, it is best to maintain them on your balcony or at the top where there is sufficient sunlight.
