Cucumber plant problems

[nickdub]

Yes they like much the same conditions - ie warm and damp but not too much bright sun. I plant mu cucumbers and melons in the GH, but put them where they'll get some shade from other plants like the tomatoes. If you want to coddle them a bit when they are young, they really like being mist sprayed when the weather is hot.

Thanks will put them on the floor with the tomatoes all get plenty shade there but lots of heat. Happy to coddle them a bit so will mist too.

You're very welcome - you may want to put trays with gravel or similar under them too - this will allow more water to be available to the roots as the plants get bigger to root through the bottom of their containers, and also increase the local humidity round the leaves by evaporation.

What variety are they? Some are all female, others need pollinating and all sorts of other intricacies.

Had to check which thread this was - thought you were talking about your twins.

You can leave the all female cues to do their thing - no need to pollinate them. How many cues is a difficult one as some have mini-cues when you'd get more than the shop type cues.
You'll be surprised how much nicer a homegrown cue is than a shop one - crisp and juicy. You'll love them once you've tried them.

Cheers for that. I've just noticed it started to grow a couple of yellow flowers. I'm really looked to watching them grow.
