Different training for different cues. Is it all female hybrid or ordinary type?

do what you think best , if it goes pear shaped then it goes pear shaped

we grow telegraph F1  we dont touch ours , we have 7 plants in 3 greenhouse sharing the 3 greenhouses with 24 tomato plants , so you can share toms and cucs together , all very happy , growing well

I have three cucumbers all F1 Superbel,  (all woman methinks  ;) )

They are now over 4 feet high and I haven't cut mine yet, didn't think I needed too so I will be interested to hear peoples ideas.

I've already had three lovely tasty cukes off each   ::)

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
