Default Floury watermelons

Hi to all

I grew a watermelon or 2 this summer & they were floury & didn't have great
flavour, what have I done wrong?
Thinking about this would I be right in assuming they should be getting at
least 8 hours a day sunshine?
cheers
Sandra

Not fully developed, not ripe.

Yes, the more the better.

Could be they didn't get enough water?
