Baby Hybrid Cucumbers seeds are from Park Seeds. I don't have any experience growing cucumbers, so this will be a learning experience. I am growing these on a 40w Bounty. I purchased extra trellises for this. Added 8 ml Nutes. Baby Hybrid Cucumbers |

Good luck, mike! You will probably figure out how best to control the vine(s). I think that it's a good idea to remove most of the branches from the main vine--one article that I found somewhere said that--but I am not sure about exactly when to do it. One seed catalog mentioned that its hybrid cucumber had "minimal branching", which guess reinforces the advice in the article. The seed description makes me want to try some of these, too. I love fresh cucumbers of all sizes!  |

I want to cut the baby cukes into coins and throw them into pac choi salads with cheese and black olives. I'm still looking for a simple egg and oil salad dressing I can make from scratch for this. I haven't figured out the flavor profile yet.

I chose the Tomatoes setting for light. On at 5am Off at 8pm. I think Cukes need a little longer dark wise, we'll see.

I don't think I've ever seen a seed pop in one day before. I planted this before lunch yesterday.  It must've been rarin' to go! I'll be interested to see if these are really ready to harvest in 46 days like Park says |

I haven't figured out the flavor profile yet. That sounds superb, Mike. I can't get enough bok choy. One Harvest doesn't do it! I wish I had a place to do a greens tote like yours in my small apartment..... And space for a couple more Bountys. |

Your little guys inspired me to order some seed, mike! I started it in a Harvest seed starter, and one plant will go outdoors to join the Mini Munch in the EarthBox.  |

These are doing really well at two weeks. I'll be setting up the first layer of trellis' this week. Added 8 ml Nutes.  |
