First time cucumber grower!

Hi there
I'm a first-time cucumber grower and have a couple of short-fruit, mini Hana F1 plants coming along nicely in the greenhouse.
Should I take out the side-shoots or just let them grow (supported)?

Hi Chiad I grow f1 Q s but notthat variety and always take out side shoots and grow as cordon s well supported . The little fruits then get going
be careful not taking them off with the side shoots
Thanks primrosecottage, I'll have a go and see how I get on.

Why do you take out the side shoots?
