hmm...that means lots of nutrient is available to the plant. From what have seen too, getting d fertilization right is highly important to maximize it's multiple fruiting tendency

How's your fertilization schedule

The average per plant is always 5...some get 8

How many filled a Bag
is it the total production from each plant
Re: My Cucumber Farm Dairy by Olaleyeabdullah(m): 2:06pm On Apr 23, 2021

Poultry litters will actually be the best not cow dung per say

Nezzjnr, I know you won't allow me to rest with this county cheesy. I don't allow my cukes to be Big like that before I harvest " the faster you harvest the More you will enjoy it before it life span end" here is how I arrange it...the small one will be at the bottom, follow by the medium,then the bigger one at the top. So it is possible to see 80,90,120 or 130 cukes inside the bag. All can not be thesame the way am bagging it.
