Planted two seeds in a pod, placed into the middle of the Harvest. No nutes added.

I was worried that the leaves would be stuck together, but they finally opened up:  |

Lots of roots in the base as well.  |

Nice! One thing I am learning about cuke growing in the AG is that deck space doesn't even have to be considered because the plant trails all over the place anyway. As for roots..my Mini Munch had very little amount of roots, but the current Socrates is a monster and has roots that drink, drink,drink.
Anyone tried clipping cuke roots mid project?

I haven't tried clipping roots, but I've heard from other people that have grown hydroponic cucumbers that you can reduce water usage by removing any lower leaves that are more than half-covered by an upper leaf. They aren't very useful due to being shaded out, but they'll transpire a lot of water as heat builds up in between the leaves. |

I wonder if they are referring to outside hot sunny locations in the summer? The deck gets practically no heat in the AG. Big hoods in a tent for sure. Perhaps I am wrong.

I've done this before with my pepper and tomato plants in the AG because they've had the same issue, but it might be environmental. If you've ever seen the thing where your leaves get a bit of a "bubbly" texture and it's normally a lighter green and harder than the rest of the leaf, that's normally caused by the heat/moisture trapped between leaves. |

The main problem I have is a yellow ring around the leaf edge, but I see that on all the hydo projects. I wish I knew what to do!

So far I've only had to add water once.  |

I am following to see the root density of this plant.Also, does this require pollination?

It seems to be growing upwards rather than horizontally - I clipped off the end of the top stem today, hopefully that will deter it from reaching for the light.  |

My Diva did a growth spurt into the light overnight after I fed it yesterday too. I do not plan to prune mine but I have a trellis set up behind it that I am going to use to try to manage it. The Bounty that it is planted in will give me two feet of height to play with.

I might be pushing this a bit with only one foot of height, but I'm hoping I can get it to grow over the sides instead. |
