My next experiment will be with cucumbers...
My first application was with a " straight 8" cucumber. I had taken a cutting before the first frost. After rooting it was growing just fine... I applied 30 ppms a few weeks ago.. With out reading what I could expect. Here is what happened...
The plant went through a growth spurt in "male "flowers. There were literally 100 male flowers to 1 female flower.
Well this sucks for cucumber production... but can be very useful when trying to make seeds for market. If I had read a study I had saved, I would have noticed that the plant was about to produce a ton of male flowers and it definitely did...
So because I was not getting cucumbers... I scraped that project for now..
My second experiment will be with a different cucumber. It is a hybrid variety called "picolino". This cucumber produces on female flowers that do not require pollination to set fruit, which means more seedless cucumbers.( in thoery)
My original goal with these "picolino" seeds were to grow mother plants and take cuttings for my greenhouse summer crop. After reading and seeing what a small dose can do to cucumber.. I will set out to "reverse" one of the cucumbers to produce male flowers, then hand pollinate the other flowers, In hopes to self the female plants to produce " fem " seeds for my greenhouse summer production.
