Really awesome, it really looks good, I'm trying to get this performance in my fruit shop and I'm not succeeding, would love for you to give me some guidance on how to grow this way?

Watermelons are easy to grow if one has sandy to loamy soil. They do do well in clay soils. They do require a lot of space. Jade Star is an icebox type melon smaller vines with smaller melons. I work the ground in the melon patch to a depth of 7 inches then plant this type in hills 6-8 feet apart. Regular melons I use 10 foot spacing. I keep two plants in each hill. I double dig the hills 3 feet in diameter and 12-18 inches deep, mix compost and fertilizer with soil so that the resulting hill is about 2 inches taller then the surrounding soil.
