Hidden Secret: Why You Should Remove Flowers From Young Cucumber Plants! #gardening #shorts

Don't miss my top tip when growing cucumbers! this will ensure you get an amazing crop of cucumbers this growing season.
When plants are young, let's say no more than 6-8 inches, they can start to send out flowers. This is good, as it means your cucumber plant is healthy! but leaving these flowers on to produce fruit can be a bad thing for your young cucumber plant.

It's best to cut these off, and allow the plant to focus it's energy on growing a strong root system, with plenty of foliage, and growing to a big enough size to be productive.
Allowing your cucumber plants to produce flowers and fruit now can stunt growth, as the plant won't be strong enough. One of my plants here has 5 female flowers on, and that means 5 cucumbers.. and the plants are no more than 8 inches tall!

I like to allow the plant to reach AT LEAST 12-14 inches tall before it starts producing fruit, and I'll only allow it to do so when it's in its final growing position and it's established a strong root system.

There doesn't seem to be a consensus across the websites and literature about snipping early flowers on cucumbers except for ones that would grow on the ground instead of the trellis if you're using one. I'm growing four Mini-Me's, Parthenocarpic (few or no seeds in fruit, need no pollination, all female flowers) Cucumbers, started seeds indoors (heatpads & grow lights) on Apr. 15th, put them in the garden on May 22nd, and saw flowers today, June 6th on a plant that's bushy, about 8" wide and just beginning to reach for the trellis.
So I'll leave this one's early flowers as an experiment.
Note that THE tomato expert, Dr. Craig LeHoullier, says don't pinch tomato flowers, even on greenhouse seedling. He says that in his decades of growing hundreds of varieties he sees no difference in growth or production between pinched and non-pinched plants and by pinching you're just depriving yourself of early tomatoes.
