Cucumber Fertilizer Recommendation?

Is there an optimal N-P-K range for cucumbers? I am growing Diva and Sweet Success in SWC containers and have Fertilome (7-22-8) and High Yield Garden Fertilizer (8-10-8) on hand.

thanks,

Raybo

In most soils, 8-10-8 would be fine. If your soil is low in phosphate, then the 7-22-8 would be preferred. I expect that either would do well.

Thanks farmerdill. I am growing in a soiless mix of peat, microbark, and perlite. pH of about 6.4.
