Danke für die vielen Antworten! Keine Sorge, die Gurken werden nicht gegessen. Das ist bei dem Geschmack zum Glück sowieso komplett unmöglich 🤮

Ich hab auf de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucurbit nachgelesen, dass der Stoff insektizid und fungizid ist. Jetzt stelle ich mir etwas wie getrocknete Gurkenscheiben gegen Motten im Kleiderkasten vor. :masto_silly: Wir haben zum Glück aber keine Motten (?), also könnte ich die Wirksamkeit nicht testen.

Anscheinend ist das Bitterwerden eine Reaktion auf Stress, hier vermutlich auf die Hitzewelle Mitte August. Die Gurken davor auf denselben Pflanzen waren alle genießbar (nur die letzten Millimeter beim Stiel ein bisschen bitter, das essen wir halt nicht). Es wachsen jetzt wieder Gurken, unter hoffentlich viel besseren Bedingungen. Ich bin gespannt, wie die schmecken werden. Laut Wikipedia stellt ja die ganze Pflanze auf "Bittermodus" um, nicht nur die Früchte.

Ich habe leider extrem bittere Gurken geerntet. Hab eine testweise über Nacht mit Salz behandelt, aber sie hat dadurch nur viel Wasser verloren und ist immer noch ungenießbar bitter.

Vor zwei Wochen waren sie sehr klein (ich hab alle bis auf die allerkleinsten abgeerntet gehabt), aber wahrscheinlich weil es zuerst so heiß war, und dann viel geregnet hat, sind sie jetzt riesig und superbitter.

Hat jemand eine Idee, was ich mit den Gurken machen könnte?

Ich hab schon versucht, sie einem Grapefruitfreund als "wie Grapefruit, aber mit Gurkengeschmack" anzudrehen, aber dem waren sie auch viel zu bitter.

Overdue combo and update (no pics don't worrry totally not even bad language except "weed") Peppers are next.

The are no more. I've put off writing but.. they graduated to weed! 😹 They got some last minute training last week, and soon they go to flower. Nothing much to say, pics later, etc. I need a better dehumidifier but as long as the heat holds, the exhaust fan + house AC keeps up.

The is growing tons of female flowers! 5 or 6 popped up literally as I was making a Hard Choice about a rebuild. Unfortunately, zero males survive. I think I got a couple pollinated but it is just comical at this point.
Not comical is the which gets more vigorous every time I harvest. (Every few days I have to cut the stem back because it is leaning on the LED again and turning yellow.) It is just HAPPY. Cut down all the front-facing leaves? Enough for homemade XL margarita pizza today and tomorrow there is enough new growth for a nice sauce.
1/2

This cucumber is either a lover or killer - depending on your own opinions. To me, looks like it's a hugger & hugging a chopstick. To some others, looks like a killer, conjuring snake choking powers.

What do you think?

Well, a week after I let the into one of the beds, and the plants seem to have been merely inconvenienced. I dug two huge sneakers out of the tossed-around mulch, plus a bunch of poorly pollinated young cukes. These can go to the as snacks.

It’s happened. We’ve hit exponential growth! Two days ago, I got one tasty cuke. Today: five!
Plus, my cute bag pic didn’t upload when I first posted about it, so here it is again.

The is getting spots and some crispy edges here and there, so of course I ran to the internet in a panic. Some random article that looked human-written suggested too much water, so I turned the water schedule from 15m every 30m down to 25 every 60.

Within 2 hours the cucumber got irritable and started to wilt. So here I am back on the internet in a panic. (Not really, the cucumber isn't likely to up and die or anything.)

Any peeps out there with advice? Is my schedule too low? I kinda settled in there by accident when stuff stopped dying.

It is just a hollow tower and a bucket of GenHydro 'bloom' mix with some extra green bottle. The fluid is almost a week old but I'm hoping to go closer to 2 weeks per change. Not sure what else might impact it. pH is "set" at (poorly-calibrated) 5.7ish and slowly climbs to 5.95 before I push it down with pH minus or (as needed) more fluid.

The results of the morning game of hide and seek. There are likely at least five more in the vines that I just can't see for looking. 🥒✖️👀

I was trying to figure out how to move the to see the first, largest but it turns out it is already pointed at the 3rd. Basically dead center. (Female flowers look "just like" males except they are growing from a teeny cucumber. If pollination works, the cucumber gets huge.)

So this fella, Pelidnota Punctata aka GrapevineBeetle, appeared on my lemon cucumber plant today. Researching invasiveness before deciding whether to gently help him move along.

TIL that pickles are cucumbers.

My wife wanted to know what I thought they were and I really have no idea, so now she's teasing me about getting some pickle plants when we get home.
