Parthenocarpic Varieties
A few parthenocarpic cucumber varieties are available for home gardeners. Parthenocarpic slicers include Sweet Success, Euro-American, Socrates, Tyria, Diva, Tasty Jade and Suyo Long. County Fair 83 is a parthenocarpic pickler, but the slicers can also be harvested young and used for pickling since seeds are not a problem.

Haha you have me looking into these things now. If I end up with a cucumber patch it's u to blame. HPS or LED ??

I was planning my Kiwano melon cave this is closest thing I have to cucumber. Have you heard of these? The Melon vines are Native to Africa and can grow several hundred feet. I think considered invasive -

I want a whole grow tent of cucumbers. Wonder how they’d do inside. Love cucumbers man. Especially those little pickling ones and gerkins!!

"control" is easy to figure out... "pollonating" is going to require you manually dumping the pollen onto the fruit at the right time. Its a job for the bees but im pretty sure you can do it manually.

I been trying to get my hands on these! my favorite elephant ears! I have never seen a flower come up....thats cool as shit. i been growing regular green elephant ears for about 5 or 6 years now. i plant um outside and dig um up every winter. These CANNOT be overwatered outdoors, they literally dont mind sitting in water. My biggest ones are the ones i water the most.

They are getting real popular here but i still aint found a "black one" like yours for sale. im gonna stop by mother natures house and grab me a bulb or 4 of them.

Believe it or not I picked this lovely specimen up at Walmart randomly years ago. I planted in thick soil and stunted it for a long time. Then transplanted to a mix with more coco instead of peat and it’s been doing better ever since.

the flower only come in January and it’ssuch a weird inconspicuous thing you’d almost miss it when it’s dies off a few weeks later.

I’ve been contemplating separating into multiple plants. I guess the bulbs are easy to separate and repot kinda like aloe Vera pups. Never tried though.

they are cool plants though. Never brought mine outside though. Poisonous to animals and cats especially if I remember right

they are very easy to split up but very hard to see without digging them up all the way. They are so hardy that im not sure you could hurt them no matter what you do as long as you put them back into water.

All this being said is based off mother natures medium and environment , im sure things are way different indoors. Mine go into very clay like soil in the spring. Although im sure if you prepped the hole with aeration , they would grow double the size but also need more water.

I just started an indoor one a few days ago....i got bored :eyesmoke:

Thats about 75% used FFOF and 25% coco chunks.

Im 100% they can be applied! im not 100% they will help but i put myco on everything with a root. Sure cant hurt, they are either gonna thrive and reproduce or they are going to die ...no big deal! (if they die then the roots didnt need the assistance which just shows you have a great mix , full of organic goodies. )

These are my favorite variety known as Kiwano or popular known as African Horned Mellon or the best one, the Spike Melon. I am not an expert melon person but have grown a few before so this should be fun

i dont have any cuc seeds....i got pumpkin seeds from what i thought was "super pumpkins' until the city came out and fixed the leak. Apparently there was a LOT of water leaking right under my pumpkins. At the very end of summer they made a last ditch effort to climb my tree and show me two more small pumpkins.

For my cucumbers I have these open pollinated seedless ones. No male flowers, no hand pollination.

I also have got two of these dragon breath seeds to sprout (supposed to be hotter than the Carolina reaper)(66% germination rate)
