I NEED help with straight 8 cucumbers. Can / should I move them ?

10 years ago

I planted 4 of my straight 8 cucumbers in an old toiet tank ( cleaned & sanatized before planting ) now they are really growing well really well, but I'm concerened now they are growing so great that they won't have enough root space. The have flowers & about 4 baby cucumbers growing. Can I move them to a bigger container without killing them and if not will they produce well with being sort of root constricted? Can I remove one to give more root room or move all of them? I live in SSW Louisiana. Thanks for any ideas or tips.

They won't like being moved at that stage.

Can you get some kind of amendment to feed them? You will like lose them if you move, or they will sit for a month in shock and not do anything.

I use seabird/bat guano and seaweed emulsion here and there if I feel there is nutrient loss in soils for a few things...

I would not try to move them now. They should be fine as long as you keep them watered well and they have plenty of fertilizer.
