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

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   ::)
