Cucumber 'Adam F1' is suitable for cultivation in a greenhouse, because the plants do not need pollination. Thanks to the firm and crunchy flesh, this cucumber is ideal for pickling. One bag is for approximately 5m2, and the planting distance is 150x40 cm.
Cucumber 'Adam F1' is an early, vigorous variety and develops beautiful smooth fruits of 7 to 10 cm. The plants do not need pollination, which makes them perfect for growing in a greenhouse. Due to the firm, crunchy flesh, these cucumbers are very suitable for pickling.
Fertilizing is recommended after the first flowering. Repeat this after three weeks and if necessary do this again when there are signs of nitrogen deficiency. Yellowing and bronze of the leaves can indicate potassium deficiency. If the fruits are regularly picked at a young stage, new cucumbers will continuously form. The harvest can then be extended over a longer period.
