Plants need light for 15-16 hours; their lack is supplemented with fluorescent lamps.
Soil preparation and greenhouses
To achieve high yields, they equip a warm, multi-layer bed. For this, in the fall, a sunny place is selected on the site. The next step is to lay drainage, brushwood, branches, grass, straw, etc. are suitable for it. They are placed to a depth of 30-50 cm, after which they are well tamped.

Then a greenhouse is built, which is covered with a film, and after a few days it will be possible to proceed to planting. The preparation of such a soil is good because the manure, during a burnout, heats the ground, providing cucumbers with the heat necessary for highly productive growth. In addition, such a base is rich in nutrients and will serve as a good source of all the necessary substances for the development of a vegetable culture.

Care
Watering f1 hybrid cucumbers should be at least three times a week, this has a good effect on their productivity. Also, an even more important point will be to give the plant the correct shape: it is formed into a single stem, this improves its lighting and nutrition of the cucumber ovaries. 3-4 lower nodes blind, and all shoots that are higher are removed completely.
All nodes that are on the main stem should have one leaf and a tuft of ovaries. With the first harvest of zelents on the main stem, the culture is fed with complex and nitrogen fertilizer. In the future, top dressing should be weekly, its timeliness contributes to new cucumber ovaries.
