| Hi all, This is my first post. I live just outside Montreal (zone 5) and am having some difficulties with some spacemaster cukes. The leaves have been turning yellow but I don't believe I've been under/over-watering. Any advice on how much I should be watering or what else may be causing this? I have 4 squash plants that are doing amazing in the same plot. The cuke plants haven't really grown any in the last few weeks either. The daytime temps presently are between 77-90F/25-32C. Cheers, Fergus |

| I think this looks like Nitrogen deficiency in the soil. You need to add a Nitrogen fertilizer for dark green leaves. I use a Nitrogen fertilizer till the plants are big enough and have dark green leaves. After that you can switch to a low Nitrogen fertilizer. |

| Poor soil. Probably that soil has lots of wood chips. I would scrape away as much soil from around those plans ( up to 2ft in diameter and add decent aged compost and fertilize lightly. |

| Can you please tell us what soil/mix you used? |

| It is the soil. Add manure, or or mushroom compost. Your soil is too woody. |
