i dont know whats going on but our 2 week old cukes have leaves turning light green almost yellow tint.
well watered on garden boxes, no bugs slugs or pests and regularly misted with anti fungal spray.

so, i thought well maybe its time for some fertilizer, so i buried in the box some droppings from my home made compost. we shall see. ideas?

I have had a similar problem pretty much every time I've grown them, so if anyone has the magic cure I'd love to know!

I don't know the answer but my go to cure all with yellow but otherwise healthy leaves is chelated iron and potassium.

Maybe try some Maxicrop/seaweed extract foliar spray :dunno:
