If youre sure its just a couple weeks it wont be a big deal. The best watermelon patch I ever grew we broadcast all the fertilizer for three patches tge same day. We planted 1/3 that day, 1/3 in two weeks, 1/3 in four weeks. You couldnt tell any difference in the three patches. Watermelons seemed to be getting the benefit of the fertilizer for the full four months they grew. Do keep in mind we were putting 700lb to the acre which I would assume is much more than youre putting out. We did get alot of rain that summer which is something else that will affect how long your fertilizer hangs around.
