Yes Ezinwa25 is right.Most high breed seeds can take 30 days but the particular one I'm cultivating is 37-47 days.

The secret of successful cucumber is land preparation.i discovered this in my little time farming cucumber.
Please plough the ground well before making beds.Get rid of stumps and spread your manure evenly over the bed before planting or after planting.
If you are using chicken dropping,you can apply with water or spread it on the bare floor to get rid of the heat.

Do you water the plant? Because, I wanted to start cucumber farming but I heard that one can't do it without any form of irrigation.

How did you prepare the soil?
Was the soil well drained?
Did you used manure or fertilizer?
What is the specie of your seed?
