This year I have been having terrible luck with my vine and bush cucumbers. I started them from seed under 6500K T5 grow lamps and they where pretty happy in there 5in pots. Transplanted a week after last frost (May 23rd they went outside) and are in planters with square foot soil.
We have has ZERO rain since the last frost so I have been watering every few days just as always, planter is never wet as the square foot soil drains quickly and remains moist for a long time. We have had wind, every day there is wind. I had to stake the little guy steady.
The leaves are turning paper thin, then yellowing and crisping at end edges. There are no signs of any bugs. I my experience yellowing at the bottom means the soil is to damp. I mulched the base of the vining plant and watered less frequently.
Any other ideas on how to keep these guys alive?
