Cucumber Blast Off

The cucumber plant has exploded with flowers and is now about 3 feet tall after two weeks in the Ebb and Gro system. We have tied it to a stake as it grew to support the main stem as its tentacles found their way to the stake and neatly wrapped themselves around it.

We have about 15 flowers on this plant already and the urge to clone it is killing me but I think I will wait until it gets to the point of producing fruits. 

The water and nutrients in the Ebb and Gro system was changed today from an early flowering stage supplement to support an intermediate stage flowering / beginning stage fruiting nutrient base as the Roma tomato plant has also put on a lot of flowers and now has a few budding tomatoes.  The peppers in this system have also produced a lot of small bell peppers so the Canna Boost nutrient and PK 13/14 were added.
