Greenhouse Cucumber

Hello Cucumber growers,
Training and Pruning:
This will help to fully supply all nutritional needs for the plants during the establishing period. In addition, you may want to put the clips on to train the plants to go upwards (see example in the Greenhouse).

If too many fruits are allowed to form at any one time, a large proportion will abort, because the plant may not have sufficient food reserves.

Fertilizer:
During this time, we're watering the plants with starter solution (10-52-10) for 2 weeks. High percentage of P will help the plants to establish their roots system, which will allow the plants to take up more water and nutrients.

Schedule:
I have 5 exams coming up, but I can come to the greenhouse at anytime, I believe Mercedes has sent out an email saying she is available on Friday. I hope the remaining 4 members can find some time during the week to come to the Greenhouse. It doesn't take long; it only takes 5-10 mins if we share the work and follow the schedule.

Hope this helps,

Peter Le.
