If you'd like a little chemical help, there is a great foliar feed which I think would deliver exactly what you want.

It's called MegaGro. $10.95 USD for a ready-to-use 32 oz. bottle, which is all you really need. It should make the plant flower instantly, because of the gibberellic acid, which is a plant hormone.

i was under the impression that gibberellic acid was used to promote male flowers specifically?

In Cannabis. One should never use it on Cannabis unless specifically trying to breed. In most other plant species, it produces female flowers, in addition to providing a boost to growth.

any luck bella?

I will update with pics tomorrow! My camera is charging... lol

Anyway,I have been kinda ignoring my plant for like a week or so. I do have cat grass growing for my kitty in the same area, so I did go in everyday. I didn't really pay attention to the cucumber though.

I went in tonight and found 2 female flowers!!!!! You can most definitely tell they are girls too. They have not blossomed yet, but the minute they do I will be self pollinating.

The flowers have grown on the vine that I thinned out the male flowers. Maybe that is the key to this all. I will try it on the other 2 vines and see what happens.

I'm so happy!!! lol

congrats! you must be a proud mom

Pics as promised

I took these last night. I checked on my plant tonight and there appears to be 3 other female flowers forming as well on the same vine!!

I pruned back many of the male flowers on the middle vine. I want to see if it'll start making female flowers next. If so, we know this is the key to indoor cuke growth!

Day 52

Awesome Bella, I love your grow.

Wonderful thread, keep up the good work.

One more thing, your roots are very impressive .
