LoL I know what a BUD is thanks. I suggested a Daytime detector because he wouldn't have to rip out his exsisting pistons. (As he would for your method) He would just need to build the detector and hook the output up to the pistons easy as cake. Just watch a tutorial. As for interrupting the growth cycle. Melons and Pumpkins are the fastest growing crops any that haven't grown in a full night or day cycle is likely to be very very few. Very negligible loss, especially considering how garbage both crops are lol
I doubt the dispenser clock would work for the OP. They don't want to loose any items, even if the items are infinite.
just saying if he decides to go th route of building a clock the dispenser clock is probably the smallest method and simplest to achieve a substantial delay.

watch a tutorial? now that's funny. considering i have one of the fastest and most affective day/night sensors Ive ever seen.
the day night sensor has some serious issues that may not work for the op. its relatively large and works based on the randomness of grass growth which if the machine isn't built correctly can actually cause issues with grass growth. and depending on his farm build could require a lot of wiring.
also you don't hook the out put from the BUD directly first you'd need a NOR latch so only one input source would be quantified at a time. this would also control the water. then you would need a falling (drop) edge detector coming off from that so as to only harvest when the power is switched from on to off you could also use a rising edge detector wired parallel, not in series, so that both rising and falling inputs would produce a harvest cycle. otherwise any time grass grew or died it would then send out a pulse to harvest the melons, which depending on how many grass blocks and BUD's you use could happen a lot during each cycle. and if you use a single grass block detector it could be very slow. again grass growth is rather random. or the pistons would either be stuck open not allowing growth. until the signal is low coming from the NOR latch.
