Cucumber issue

[bikermike]

My cucumbers have been growing away in the greenhouse.

Lots of deep green leaves, stems, and flowers with fruit forming behind them. And then they've stopped. They don't look unhealthy, they just haven't got bigger.

Any thoughts?
Remove some fruit? Some flowers? Cut it back? Feed it? Do a cucumber fecundity dance?

Same issue. Lots of baby fruit, nothing swelling. Well, one did, and I picked it small two weeks or so ago. Nothing doing since.

Hmm, not had that problem with cucs, but I have noticed that they wilt in hot sun. If they are in a greenhouse they might benefit from a bit of shading (I use a piece of fleece on the south side of the plants). I can't say it will solve the problem but it might.

no sign of wilting at all, in fact they look healthier than my cucs of last year, just no fruit growth...

I just can't grow cucumbers.
I've no idea what I'm doing wrong, i might get a bumper crop one year and none for the next 5 years, so I've given in with them.

Have you fed them once they started producing fruit if not give them the same feed you use on your toms. Apart from that I can only think of either shading or misting the plant with water.

Try pollinating it manually there are quite a number of cucs on the market now where you leave the male flowers on, if you have one where you should remove the male flower you will know when you taste it, I have one of an unknown verity and once the first cuc started to develop I removed all the males till I tasted it and it was fine so have left the males on and now eating the second and again it's OK you could try pollinating by hand but there are some plants that seem only to throw male flowers but after a time comes ok
