I really need to understand something I thought the chlorine in mop isn't good for cucumbers or what do you think.

2. Do you use agrovert 6:13:46, if yes at what gram per 16knapsack

3. If you use this mop, do you use POTASSIUM NITRATE as side dress?

Thanks

I finally counted them. 1005 plants and I got about 51 bags. How about yours. Let's compare yield.
Oga FarmTech. I gotta be totally honest
with my results cheesy
So, at 48½ bags, Plants are on the go.
I don't think I can still make it to 50 bags.
With our normal bagging style oh.

Although I have culprits to blame. cheesy

1. Didn't use up to 30ml npk you used

2. Rains were much and really heavy. So leaching was obvious.

3. Stopped applying fungicide as soon as I noticed plants didn't have much flowers coming up again. So I gave downy mildew the chance to start clearing up my farm for me. cheesy

4. I Didn't prune. I mean who doesn't prune cucumber during rainy season. grin
The branches became very compacted that you can hardly tell which is the main
Sterm.

Won't lie, I didn't reach optimal.
But I'm still impressed by the results at least for a beginner. So, as we go, we learn.

Next time try and follow the steps I suggested. I think closer spacing can also ve a factor since I'm using 60cm.
.
No matter what, always apply a combo of funficide, insecticide and haifa. It helps a lot. Ibdo that every 4 days or so.

Ok, I appreciate this a lot sir. Thank you.

So, with your rate of application (npk), how many bags of NPK did it take you to manage the 1005 stands?

Even at young stage, do you still use that same quantity per plant?

Yesterday was my harvest day, so I tried my luck again, after moving round the farm, unexpectedly, harvested another two bags. So officially 50bags.

Honestly, I thought it was over, cucumbers can really surprise you

Who knows, maybe I can still harvest something if I'm patient enough, already, I'm planning to clear them off for another project to commence.
