I hope "my" cuke is doing well ;) And the other plants are looking fabulous! Great job!!!

mmm looks delicious!! Great job tetra!

Aww beautiful flower TetraHyc :) I love them, they are so pretty. CustomHydro.. yes they do produce male and female flowers, unless of course it's a self pollinating hybrid plant.. which i'm sure have to be out there now for melons too. Here is a link briefly explaining male/female flowers on...

I was thinking more along the lines of me damaging the flower before pollination occured when I was using the q-tip. The q-tip was quite large compared to the flower, so I did have to put some extra force just to apply it to the inside of the flower. This paintbrush is perfect size. If they...

Day 83 Well the cucumbers that were on my plant shriveled up and died, so I am now trying to use a paint brush to pollinate instead of a q-tip. I did this last night and today, and my new female flowers are already starting to wilt. I'm hoping this is a good sign :) I also cleaned out my...

Those look great!!!! Bet you can't wait to try one :) Goodjob!

I have read that if you have a hybrid/all female cucumber plant, it can form male flowers when stressed. If these male flowers pollinate your female flowers, it can make the fruit become bitter. check your seed package. If it says they are Hybrid/F1 seeds... then pick off all male flowers that...

Awww, thanks guys :) <3

Day 74 Well things seem to be going good :). I flushed my reservoir the other day, and like I said put a bit of fertilizer and molasses in it. I made sure to mix the molasses in boiling hot water so it wouldn't clog up my air tubes... so far, so good. You'll see in the root shot that the water...

mmmm those look really good. Planning on sharing with all of us :p ??

Uhhh if your grow is outside, then I guess moss could be acceptable. If your indoors I'd advise highly against bringing in outdoor moss.. wouldn't want unwanted insects in your grow room.

LOL, I just read this now. You guys are freaking hilarious. Much Love <3 Soooo Mjetta since I choose to keep my grow going, how is that little pepper you were talking about coming along???

Day 70 Here are the pics!! I think I'm going to keep it going. I found at least 4 female flowers on my plant. 2 of them I just pollinated. The other 2-3 have yet to open. I'm planning on flushing out the reservoir today. Fresh new water for my baby may help. I'm also going to add just a...

Sorry.. lol Stresssss in my life right now, I've been reading the posts, just haven't found the time to post yet. I have NO idea if you could grow a carrot in a dwc. Worth a shot eh? Before I let my cat eat my cucumber plant.. it was a few days. I just went back in and the leaves at the top...

I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to attempt. I have seeds for green onions, dill, peas, carrots... maybe carrots? Could be interesting. lol
