Are my cucumbers ok?
« on: July 02, 2010, 14:40 »
This is my first attempt at cucumber. I am growing them in the greenhouse and have already had my first small one. Delicious it was too. I am a bit concerned with my leaves. Are they ok?

Looks fine to me !

Thats probably just sun scorch, only start to worry if the entire plant looks like that .... like mine does  :mad:

That looks like magnesium defficiency. Any foliar feed with magnesium in it, read the label, or epsom salts.

I agree with Salmo, magnesium deficiency. Get the Epsom salts out. :lol: :D

Surprised its just the one leaf, Id have thought Mg problems would have sown across the entire plant ?

Doesn't it say on the box?

The westland stuff I have gives 35g/gallon for foliar feed. or 20g/m2 for top dressing. I use 2 table spoons per watering can.
