Hey everyone, I've been growing some plants (first timer) in an indoor green house type situation (grow lights with reflective /heat insulating material all around the plants). Everything has grown so quickly (in 2/3 weeks) but my cucumber plants dont feel like they are growing in height/etc, their leaves are just getting HUGE. Does this mean anything?

Cucumber is a vine so it won't really grow vertically without support. Do you have a net or something for it to climb up? In my experience that's when they really start to blow up
Thank you very much for posting this, I got it working.

I used some strong garden mesh(100mm x 75mm) keep humidity in range and add fans to mix the air (or you start getting mold on the leaves) keep the temps over 25c(they like it hot ) water often.
took 15 1ft cucumbers off a single plant, they only grow 2-3 at a time(takes about 3 weeks)

Yes. There may be a variety that doesn't need pollination but the majority will need hand pollination.
Best done in the morning when the flowers just open up.
There are also lots of suckers. Prune them.
