Hi! I've noticed the telegraphs start growing bent. Some straighten out, some don't. Is there a way to make em all straight?!

There's nothing wrong with a cucumbers natural shape,some bend a lot more than that,it doesn't matter what shape it is when it's sliced? Did you see all the grief farmers get off supermarkets,the amount they have to throw out because their parsnips aren't straight enough etc. These shops should be supplying all types of bendy fruit & veg so the public are aware of their actual shapes!

Life's too short to worry when your cucumber isn't straight

Someone told me the bent ones are where bees have fertilised the flower. This is the reason commercial greenhouses try hard to keep the bees out

Yep, get a 3mt length of 11/4" plastic waste pipe, cut in to appropriate lengths for cumber, tie on the plant with the small cumber inside but...............................WHY.
