10 seeds per pack.

BOLBY is an F1 hybrid bottle gourd variety suitable for late-season sowing. It produces light-green fruits with a distinctive bulb or pear shape under suitable growing conditions.

It can be grown in rooftop gardens, kitchen gardens, grow bags, large containers and open soil beds. The vine requires fertile, well-draining soil, consistent moisture, adequate sunlight and strong climbing support.

Growing Instructions

Sowing season:
20 June to 15 August

Recommended for late-season sowing in warm-climate areas.

Sowing method:
Sow the seeds directly in the final container or growing location. Nursery preparation and transplanting are not recommended.

Soak the seeds in clean water for 4–5 hours or overnight before sowing. Sow two seeds approximately 1–1.5 inches deep.

After germination, retain the healthier seedling and carefully remove the weaker one.

Recommended containers:
Grow one plant per container. Suitable options include:

  • 12 × 12-inch grow bag

  • 11 × 10-inch grow bag

  • 12-inch clay pot or a similarly sized container

Make sure the container has adequate drainage holes.

Soil:
Use rich, soft and well-draining soil. A recommended mixture is:

50% Bhalu Mitti
50% organic matter, preferably vermicompost

Sunlight:
Provide approximately 6–8 hours of sunlight, preferably including morning sunlight.

During extremely hot weather, keep newly sown containers in bright shade. After germination, gradually introduce the young plant to direct sunlight.

Climbing support:
Install a strong bamboo, metal or net trellis at an early stage. Guide the vine upward and allow enough space for the fruits to hang freely and develop their natural bulb or pear shape.

Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the upper soil layer begins to dry.

During rainfall, make sure excess water drains quickly from the container.

Feeding:
Mix vermicompost into the soil before sowing. During active growth, apply a suitable vegetable fertilizer according to its labelled instructions.

Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, as it may encourage excessive leaf growth instead of balanced flowering and fruit development.

Pollination:
Male flowers commonly appear before female flowers.

If natural fruit setting is limited, hand pollination may be carried out early in the morning. Transfer pollen gently from a freshly opened male flower to the centre of a female flower.

Female flowers can be identified by the small immature fruit behind the flower.

Plant care:
Maintain proper spacing and good airflow. Remove weeds and yellow, weak or damaged leaves when required.

Protect young plants from intense afternoon sunlight during extremely hot weather. Avoid overcrowding and standing water.

Harvesting:
Harvest the fruits while they are young, tender, smooth and light green. Avoid leaving them on the vine until they become overmature.

Frequent harvesting can support the continued development of new fruits.

Important Safety Notice

These seeds are treated and intended for sowing only. Do not use the packaged seeds as food, animal feed or for oil extraction. Keep them out of the reach of children and animals.

Amazing product!
Set name: Sublimation Printer, Set name: Sublimation Printer
All I can say is "WOW". I was skeptical about changing over from my Sawgrass to another brand of sublimation printers. But now I wish I started here from the start! Not only does this machine cost a good amount less with the same paper sizes and options as my SG500 but the ink is cheaper per cartridge and 11ml larger than the standard 30ml I am use to. Set up was super easy, as well as the connection. My prints are bold, bright, and beautiful. I am amazed! I am thankful that the details in the prints show through no matter what material I am pressing on. As a business owner, I need a good, efficient printer that doesn't cost more than the product I am selling. I can't wait to continue using my machine. I have not run into any maintenance issue and can not speak on anything of that as of now. Attached photos; however, my camera did not do it justice.

Good image quality
Set name: Sublimation Printer
Has good print quality and has worked well. I like the tray paper feed for regular size and that I can use the back paper feed set up for my mug sized sublimation paper. I had considered converting an ink jet to a sublimation, but for a little more decided to try this. Glad I did. Set up was pretty easy and I'm happy with the color quality and accuracy. I wasn't sure when I first saw the print out, but once the sublimation was doen, it was great.
