Cucumber seedlings

[Bretterer]

I have some cucumber seedlings I'm needing some assistance with. They sprouted two days after planting in a seed starting mix placed on a heat mat. Once they sprouted, I pulled them off the mat and put them in the window. They get about 5/6 hours of direct sun through a window with a screen. However, some of them are now two inches long. I have to rotate them frequently because they lean towards the window. Are they leggy? Do I need to remove them from direct light. I have some 6500k bulbs. Would it help to put those over the seedlings? If so, at what distance? Some of the leaves are curling slightly under, lengthwise.

They need more sun and will become more and more leggy without it. Use whatever light source you can. You could probably put them outside during the day. They have a hard time growing when the temps are below 50F

They look fine. Give as much light as possible.

Six Cross Country Cucumber (Hybrid) seed pots were started in the greenhouse about four weeks ago and placed in the outdoor garden along a prepared trellis. There are two or three plants in each pot. This method produces cucumbers about month earlier than direct seeding in my zone. A stepping board was placed in the bed to facilitate picking without crushing the vines. The vines will be trained to climb the mesh of the trellis. This system will produce from 100 to 200 pounds of cucumbers over the growing season.

They look healthy to me and I am excited in waiting for Spring to come here.

Gee, looks like healthy cucumber seedlings that I'm sure would grow fast. I have to be honest that this is the first time I've seen cucumber seedlings and I'd say they look like my cantaloupe seedlings. I understand that cucumber is a vine but I haven't seen a fruiting vine of cucumber yet. It would be nice if you will post the photos of those seedlings when they start fruiting.

Cucumbers are producing almost too many to process.They are picked every other day. There are two types Cross Country and County Fair.

The first pic is of the Sir Crunch A Lot. It looks leggy, too. I guess that's just the way they are because it gets plenty of southern sun. The second pic is of the Cool Breeze cuke, which you can see, I've already put in the ground and it's pretty stubby. Their leaves look very different than your cuke and the Sir Crunch A Lot. Different strokes for different 'cukes.

My penny's worth.
