    You have more than one issue here... First... Let's address the mites. These will destroy your crop... fast! Now from here it gets tricky. There is a product that has saved my you-know-what several times... It is called Foxfarm's Force of Nature miticide. It is all natural, and very concentrated. 1/4 oz. to a bottle of water, and spray it all over. soak it... Now You appear to have another issue... Purple usually indicates to me a phosphorus deficiency... This is going to sound crazy but take a half bottle of the small gatorade (your choice of flavor lol) and pour it in. go ahead, laugh it up. ;) Now, lastly, you should think about resolving a pH issue that might be causing your deficiency... I would fix that with a product called Dolomitic lime (I use Agri-pel, I Live in Tennessee and a 40 lb bad costs me about 5 dollars. I handful per gallon of soil, or if it is in ground... about 5 small handfuls should do it.

    This seed is immature. It would seem the fruit was picked to early. I would let the melons go a little longer before you harvest. They should be dark black in color. These white seeds will not germinate. I believe I have sent you the information on storing seeds, but now I will provide an article for knowing when to harvest watermelons: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/watermelon/pick-a-watermelon.htm

    As long as it's warm enough outside, you can plant the seeds as soon as they've dried fully, which usually takes about a week. See this article for more information:
