I have 2 types of cucumber growing in my greenhouse -both of which I have aquired as seedlings. One is a smooth variety and is doing really well and producing lots of delicious cucumbers. The other is a bumpy climber and has lots of tiny 1" cucumbers that don't seem to be getting any bigger. Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

Hi
I've merged your threads.
I've no idea what you are doing wrong as we don't know what you are doing to know if it is wrong or not.

Vegswap, when you say "loads" of cucumbers, how many do you mean.
I grow cucs and sometimes if there are too many developing at the same time the plant cant cope and some stay very very small and eventually go pale and then yellow. If I see this happening I just pick them off. I also feed the plants well.
The other thing that may be relevant is that (as far as I understand it, and I am no expert!!) my "bumpy" ones are indoor/outdoor cucs. Is it poss that the temp in the greenhouse is just too hot for the prickly cucs.
Are you wetting the ground inside on hot days as I think they prefer a humid atmosphere.
Other than that, sorry, run out of ideas.
Good job you have the "good un" eh?
