You did a great job. So did the camera person, sone people just need to criticize so that they can feel like they’re smarter but it just exposes their weakness. The paint brush was genius, I’ve been using a frayed twig! Don’t forget to water, they look thirsty!

Very helpful! I have an indoor hydroponic garden (extremely allergic to bees so I don't garden outside). I thought I was pollinating with my paintbrush but it turns out all of my flowers are male. I'm adjusting the calcium to see if that works. So frustrating to have a ton of flowers and no cukes!

If you are growing different varieties of cucumbers, can you mix the male pollen or do you have to pollinate the female flower with the male pollen of the same variety? Very informative video. Thanks.

I just take a male flower cut it off and pull all the pebble off then stick it inside each female flower, very easy
