None of these visual methods are reliable as these things differ greatly amongst melon varieties. The easiest way is just to knock on the watermelon like you would a door, if it sounds hollow on the inside, then it's ripe.
I thought I was the only the weirdo that stands there spanking the watermelons, trying to find the one that sounds like a Voit dodgeball.
Knock they said, stop spanking fruits, or don't, whatever makes you happy haha
What does hollow sound like? High pitch or low pitch?
Hard to describe, but it should sound more like you are knocking on an empty jug instead of a jug filled with water.
I think a higher pitch then.
What kind of screaming melons do you possess
This I know to be the only reliable method. Also after knocking if you squeeze it it should make a sound as something rigid starting to crack not as being rubbery/ elastic.
Not sure about pitch, but it should sound more like you are knocking on a drum instead of a water tank, that's the best way I can describe it.
