2nd cucumber harvest!

This sounds better than it actually is.

1st harvest: 1 cucumber and a bunch of dead female flowers that never went to fruit.

2nd harvest (see photo): 1 month later I get 1 cucumber and a bunch of dead female flowers that never went to fruit.

I still have no male flowers and I wonder if this burpless hybrid only puts out females or if there is something telling the plant that it can only have 1 female going to fruit at a time?? If I get a 3rd harvest with the same result then something fishy is going on.

The growing tip is healthy and putting out new growth. I'm getting new growth from throughout the middle of the vine too.

Strange plant. Any thoughts?
