This is my cantaloupe. The top looks magnificent and although I know bottom leaves will die off as new ones grow, I feel like a very large section of the bottom half is yellow. Bright neon almost transparent yellow. What’s wrong?

Isn’t something like that typically outside in full sun?

It looks like too much water and/or insufficient light. It needs at least 8 hours of direct sunlight. Overwatering can cause yellowing.
