Just use a general balanced nutrient
What do you mean general balanced nute? Like what kind? I have some botanicare and FNB
"If you want the female flowers to grow, then you need to manually pollinate them, else flowers (male & female) will just keep falling off" This is the right answer, unless you have bees in your grow room. If my memory serves me, male cuke flowers stand up on a stalk, while female ones have a little cuke forming below.
So do I have to pollemate to get cucumbers?
Yes. As has been said, you can use a paintbrush or just take the male flowers and rub them onto the female flowers, which have a little bulge or ball underneath the flower on the stalk.
Thanks guys,I would have been waiting a long ass while for cucumber eh?
That's exactly what I did,I'm just gonna keep doing that as I see flowers pop up.so hopefully we get some friggin veggies,so anyone help with other indoor grow friendly fruits and veggies?
