Poorly melons

Hi all. We have planted some heritage French melons in a greenhouse this year. While they loved the hot weather it has been a lot cooler lately and so the melon plants look a little sickly. Does anyone know why this might be, is it just the conditions at the minute? The greenhouse has been ventilated and temps have been around 25c in them lately. We are in East midlands if that helps.

    Maybe a little feed to pick them up? I know feed is not to be used like medicine :) but the yellowing edges coupled with the slightly sad look make me want to give it feed. You might also (if enough days left in the growing season) want to sow a couple more seeds.. I suggest this because I'm about to sow more pumpkin seeds as my early plants have been through the wars a little now, and I'm wishing I sowed the seeds as soon as the plant looked sad.
