Hi there,
I am growing telegraph Improved cucumbers in an greenhouse.
Currently, on some plants the flowers are turning white and the fruits are not developing. On other plants, the leaves are turning yellow.
I have already harvested a good number of cucumbers and more are coming.
BTW a reduced yield might be a blessing as the packet says a plant will feed a family of 4 and I have 5 plants as I did not believe them.
I apply tomorite weekly.
Any advice

The cool weather last week has made it pause and I've had a few undeveloped flowers too and a few manky leaves.
I think it's just weather related.
I've cut off the dodgy leaves and new fruits are swelling again now it's warmed up a bit.
