I think cues are well known for being awkward. I have had years where they did great and last year couldnt grow one to save my life

Lardman seems to have the trick this year, his looked fab

they may just need some sun and are feeling sad , it does say keep them moist and the green house does that .

i would say the greenhouse may be to humid and wet. cucumbers suffer from stem rot quite easily.

mine were kept on the dry side last year, especially around the stem. they grew like there was no tomorrow, so i'll be doing the same this year.

Best to keep on the drier side initially, then when well established the more humid you can get it the better. This discourages the dreaded spider mite which will destroy plants later on.
