I've grown this variety in the AG before with good success. It's in the process of blooming like crazy.  |

That's just one vine, and I have to do a lot of pruning to keep in the space of a single side of the Farm. I could probably give it a full farm and it would fill it completely.

Had to restart- I couldn't leave a full-grown cucumber plant while I was traveling for a week at a time. Should be home for a while now, so I've got a new plant going.  |

Nice. Nothing like fresh Cukes. I loved the Mini Munches I grew.

I've been aggressively pruning both leaves and flowers this time. I also have one of my USB fans blowing on it. I've noticed if I just leave it the leaves start sweating and curling from the heat generated by the lights. There are two tiny cucs so far, so I'll have to wait and see how this one does.  |

I’m glad you mentioned the sweating. Mine does too, and I’m sure that’s why I got such bad mildew. I hadn’t realized it could do that. Next time I have to remember to buy a little fan.

I bought one for my lettuce and it did wonders for preventing bolting. I'm considering getting them for all my setups as the heat and density affects so many plant negatively.

What type of fans are you using?
I may get a few clip ons but the batteries wont last I think

I'm using these ones: www.amazon.com/SkyGenius-Battery-Operated-Clip-Black/dp/B01FFWG0I8They can be battery operated, but they also can be USB powered. Just need an adapter for a wall outlet or a power strip with them built in and you are good to go. I wasn't able to find any for a reasonable price that had a wall plug, but USB is easy enough to work with. |

They are looking a bit rough- made the mistake of letting them dry out completely a couple weeks ago, but they are bouncing back. I have two cucs to pick today with another that will be ready next week.  |

I think I got 3 cucs off this one and it just never bounced back.

At least you had the three before it gave up.
