- Time To Move Your Cucumber Seedlings On! Growing Cucumbers Part 2. Cucumbers are one of the most popular garden crop of all time. They are easy to grow, but do not transplant well, so you have to move the plugs on specifically when those first true leaves pop out.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, your growing season is finite, and often too short to properly ripen Cucumbers that are directly seeded into the garden. Starter plants are expensive, so you need a plan! The plan is simple, start your own Cucumber seeds indoors, now during the winter, to get a head start on spring planting!
In this video, I show you how to move those Cucumber seedlings on from the plug trays to 4 inch standard nursery pots, so that you can be ready for spring, and have as many Cucumber starter plants as your garden can handle. The method works for any variety, and the strategies mentioned here are useful to beginners and veteran green thumbs alike!

2nd year of growing and came back to the video again to check. Thanks for your help 😊
I've been trying to find a gardening channel and yours is by far the best
No way, thanks so much! Thanks for the support!
I would have to agree. Straight and to the point with all videos

US Link doesn't work. Canadian one does. It's a nice set. I always love the individual feeder tools. I never remember their name, sorry. Inexpensive starter tools are the best. 😉
I love your videos. They're short, well-edited, and informative. That said, cukes and squash are so fickle. so like you, I handle with care. To avoid transplant shock, I never re-planted, but usually, start them in the larger pots. Your method could help ease any pressure under the grow lights, though.
PS. This year, I'm experimenting with soil blocks on my tender-rooted plants that don't transplant well, like cucurbits, peas... even nasturtiums and zinnia, which I grow for the bees. So far, so good. And they're more space efficient than the larger pots and the air-pruning ends up allowing the plant to grow large without getting root-bound. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Great videos! I am really going to be set next year when I’m looking to start my garden!!
These videos are great! So glad I stumbled across them :)
My cucumbers 🥒 are doing amazing! Thax!
Extremely informative thank you for sharing!
I love this channel and even a child can follow every instruction given here❤
Thanks sincerely for all the knowledge
Thank you for sharing your wonderful growing cucumbers! I just stumbled upon your garden videos and they do inspire me!👍
Thanks so much for watching Mae! All the best this growing season. :-)
I would never knew these are not "true" leaves :) Thank you.
@@amishparadise1924 thank you. Barely starting my late gardening adventure :D
Thank you for the nice video
i like your videos! you cut to the chase and get right to it! thank you.
Thanks so much! I hope they help! I know that all these how-to's will exist when I''m old and senile and can't remember anything! LOL
Good tips, cant wait for part 3
Thanks Don! With this weather...its coming sooner than later!
Very good video & informative.
Thank you! I wasn't sure when was the right time to replant my seedlings into a bigger container.
Looked up this video in a panic, since I had no idea cucumbers germinated that fast and was surprised to find 6 sprouts on top of my fridge already! xD
Hi! I love your 3 part video series! Can you kindly provide a link for the 4x4 square pots in your next 3 part series? Thank you so much.
this guy is so good, my tomato plant died, i think im watching too many youtubers and doing all their ideas and advice vs taking one!!! im doing hydroponics and soil.
Sorry about the mater! What do you think was the cause?
Thank you for tutorial how to transplant the cucumber plant .
Cheers Polyn, thanks for watching!
Great videos and thanks for the advice
Cheers, thanks for watching!
This is really helpful. My cucumber plants are slowing down now after the “baby” leaves came out. And I think it’s the size of the cell that’s hindering them. I didn’t know how quickly they like to grow
I love using a chop stick to remove the seedlings from the plugs
I planted mine about a two weeks ago and they just started sprouting the same time as my radishes
I love your videos ♥️❤️
Hey, thanks so much Nang!
That corny intro... I hit the like button so fast. Thank you for this very helpful series!
Thanks Heidy! Thanks for watching and for the support! :)
Great video 🙌
Thanks Renata!
Thanks for the video. I tried last year to grow cucumbers but not one germinated. Hopefully this year I’ll get some.
thank you so much for the useful information, although i have a few questions, how many hours of light do they need? also, how frequently should the seedlings be watered? i’m asking in regard to the part 1 video, Thanks in advanced😁
Thank you, I’ve struggled to get my cucumber seedlings to germinate and I’ve never been able to grow very big ones. They usually don’t produce fruit or just rot.
Found you on "Creators on the Rise" Good wholesome content!
Hey thanks Jordan! I didn't even know google did that! Very kind of them! Cheers man, happy growing!
Hi. Are you able to tell me what potting compost you used please? Thanks for the video, my second viewing. Yours in the one I have found most helpful. Thank you.
Oh wow! What a wonderful teacher you are! Each steps are so well explained, exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!
Cheers Marie-Eve, thanks so much for watching! :-)
Good info about that true leaf appearing first before transplant. I wasn't sure when I translated various ceilings but some made it some didn't and I was wondering what the conditions were that happened like that. It definitely could have been that I transplanted some too early
Yep, quite likely. True leaves indicate time....time enough for roots to develop. You need enough roots to withstand the rigors of transplanting to minimize the shock. :-)
Greetings! I live in Spokane, WA, your friendly neighbors to the south. ;-) I have come to think of you as my garden guru and SO appreciate all of the wonderful and concise information. Two questions;
When do I move the seedlings from bottom heat to overhead light?
If I plan to trellis them up an arbor how close together can I plant them?
Thank you in advance and happy growing!
Thank you. And no light while you wait for germinate right?
I'm a new gardener and I transplanted two of my cucumbers before the third leaf grew but I still have four in there cells will the two I transferred early survive? Thanks for any input.
great video. only thing missing is the timing of each phase.. how long from planting seeds to transplanting to pots? How long in the pots before planting into the garden?
can we use foil on the perimeter to mimic your greenhouse?
What do i do if my sprouts (its been 4 or 5 days since seeding ) are gettin to long for the trays. I do t see a real leaf yet but they are getting so big! Should i take them off of the heating mat and into the sun? Or should i wait until they sprout the true leaf for sun/grow light?
Mine are just getting their true leaves, but i planted 2 per cube. Will it be okay to keep them outside when i put them in their 4" containers next week ? It gets 50 at night and 70 days here in southern California
Just found your videos! Loving them!! A question, to water the seeds in the plug tray for 2hrs. Do you remove extra water after 2hrs? From there on, do I need to water it always from the bottom? Thanks!
Hey, thanks for watching xue! For watering the trays...with the 2L of water, after 2 hours the soil should have soaked it ALL up. If there's still water standing in the bottom, I would probably just drain it off, yes. And always water the seedlings from the bottom. So much easier! :-)
after transplanting to
thin them they are looking dead, can they be rescued.
Great video some of my cucumber seedling leaves are looking yellow not green why is this I’ve never experienced this before ? 🌱🌱🌱
How about if we plant the cucumbers in a big bowl from the beginning?
Where can I found those pots? Just the basic black pots? I tried the Amazon link but I didn’t seeing anything generate.
Done 🤞🏻🤞🏻
How wet do you keep soil
Cant these seeds be sown in the outdoor planter directly?
Man I wish I seen these videos in my search last week. I randomly picked up a jiffy dome with pellets, to try growing a few veggies, my cucumbers are further along since last fridays sow. Last night I moved them to a 5x5 pot but didn't compress any of the potting mix, will that mess up or slow down progress?
No, you should be ok man. The reason I compress is two fold. One, the mix is so light and fluffy, it depresses on its own over time and soon you're left with a half pot of soil. The other is to get rid of air pockets that can sometimes dry out a root. Its rare, but I've seen it happen. But.....if you don't compress....99% of the time, it still works out fine, don't stress!
This is awesome! I have a question. My seedlings are still very small and have not grown a leaf yet, but they just went limp overnight suddenly 😳 what do I do?!
Oh no Veronika! I wonder if they actually "dampened off"? : ua-cam.com/video/K7HAyNG_FSY/v-deo.html
So, do you get all or most of your plants started and then put them all out on your stand at once? I am trying to figure out how to work that out. Do you wait til after the last frost date (keep them inside til then) ? But there are some plants that can go in the ground before then. Hmmmm, perplexing! Lol. Hey, incredible growth on the channel! Yay! I knew it would. One sad day you are gonna have hundreds of thousands of subs like the other big channels and then not as many awesome responses to comments/ questions. Don’t get me wrong, I hope that for you, you deserve it. I am just gonna have to get a beefed up carrier pigeon to take my questions to you lol. Alllll the way across the continent 😉. Seriously, congrats on the channels success thus far.
Hey Mary, I usually start most of my starters over a 3-week period in January. ALL of my starters are done indoors and then slowly hardened off in April as the weather permits. This is for sale plants as well as plants that are kept to grow myself either in the garden or in containers around the property. I RARELY direct seed anything, even historically-poor transplanters like corn, canteloupe, watermelons, etc, and especially the plants that require/benefit from an extended growing season. This is for multiple reasons....1) like we mentioned, if the plant needs a certain period of warm weather to actually produce viable fruit, then they NEED a head start going into the garden, 2) waiting and waiting for plants to germinate and grow is lost production. For the 6-8 weeks that a crop can take to get to the point of what a start plant is already at, that garden bed/area would have produced its OWN crop, easily. Its why a single bed here can have 3-4 crops in a single 12 month period! and 3) you can cherry pick the best genetics/individual plants to grow....that's huge. Gives your garden the advantage and can determine whether or not you have good success.....or MAXIMUM success!
Thanks for the kinds words! I hope so too. I only started this channel to talk about growing...to document what I've learned in the industry before I go senile and forget it! So that my kids can watch it one day with their kids and learn "old school" gardening...how we did it back in the day, ha ha! I could talk gardening all day, every day. I don't think I'll ever be sooo busy that I'll be hard to reach if people want to talk about plants! Cheers to you, make this your best growing season yet!
Love this video. Quick question, why do you always start transplanting with the strongest plants first? Would it not be better and less disrupting to the other plants if you just transplanted row for row?
Great question, and thanks for watching! I always do the strongest first for two reasons. 1) If I run out of room, I ensure that only the best ones have been moved on! and 2) taking the biggest ones out actually makes the trays easier to deal with as the bulk of foliage starts to get removed. Cheers!
Okay mamma wen
Hello, do I keep the grow light on them the whole time until I transplant and do I water the seedling while its in the seedling tray
Yes, full light at all times right from when they sprout
I have a cucumber plant and clearly need to repot it on to a bigger pot but I don’t know what type of soil or fertilizer I should use
Just go with regular potting or container mix and don't worry about fertilizing right away. Give it a week or so in the new pot, or even longer to let the roots find their way a bit.
My cucumber stems are really long and starting lean. Should I still wait for the true leaves to come or repot now? Thanks so much for the wonderful videos!
this is what is happening with mine right now!
Hope you had a fan on them to increase strength and increased light..not sure about transplanting size if no first tru leaves as hard to tell whats in front of you. Hope they made it!
Hello great video , just one question when soaking the transplanting pots do you need to leve them in the water until it is completly absorbed?
Hi Elsie...I do. It doesn't take long though. There becomes a point where the soil is fully saturated and it can't take up any more moisture.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you , sorry for the late reply
Greetings my friend . . . my zucchini plants are even taller than the cucumber plants in the starter trays. They are 9 inches tall with thick stems and just started their first leaf. When transplanting to the 4 inch pots, can I twirl the stem around in the soil to leave about 3 inches above the soil?? I noticed that the zucchini plants have a nice root system and have the roots stretching through the starter tray cells and into the water below. Any advice would help. Thanks.
Hey Richard! Careful with the Zucchini stems, they are quite brittle. But yes, you can definitely bury them...just like tomatoes and peppers, Zucchinis send out adventitious roots from the stems....so bury it right up to the first set of leaves. You'll get an instant epic root system that way! :-)
Can you try corn in containers?
Enough of seeing beautiful cucs after seedling them,trasplanting it is very easy(i have learned a lot) and nobody is talking about the nutrience in between trasplanting them to a larger pot and to the garden.When you learn the basics you need more info.You know what you use to make your plants happy,so tell me.I seeded for the first time Passandra F1 maybe too early in the planting room and they are doing Ok. so far(10cm.) and one month to go to the garden.Can they survive?.Can you aswer my question.
I'm new to gardening, but why not just sow them directly into the larger pots?
At this point, do you still cover them with a plastic dome? Should you ventilate the dome? Leave them uncovered?
Hey Randy, great question. I actually pull the dome off once the first real leaf appears. That 3rd leaf in the center that looks different than the other two. Once you see those, you know the dome can come off and the plants are set up! Cheers man.
Is there anything specific to be looking for when purchasing grow lights? I’ve had past experiences where seedlings get leggy by the window, even when I rotate them every day and I thought grow lights would fix this issue
Hey Ali, look for wavelength output in the 600-700nm portion of the spectrum.. In other words, a proper grow light as opposed to just regular LED house lights
A gentle breeze from a small fan for a few hours s day will stop your plants from getting leggy. The breeze will cause the plants to release chemicals that make them grow slower and stronger.
@@billcoda9171 yup. More light, less heat, more air circulation will combat legginess...! :-)
💯💯💯❤️❤️🥰😁
:-)
What if you can’t soak from below? What will happen?
They shall still grow. Hopefully
Hi, I just moved my seedlings from cells to bigger pots and half of them look like they are dying. Major wilting.
They were in the sun for 3 hours and temperature was roughly 65 F. I don't have enough light inside and I'm paranoid about leaving grow lights on while I'm away most of the day. I purchased light bulbs from hardware store. Idk what is happening. They were somewhat ok inside, but after 3 hours outside they started wilting much worse. What comes to your mind?
Supposed to harden them off 1 hour per day then the next day 2 hours and so on until full sun ready but really you should get some grow lights I’ve had cheap to expensive so you would not have to worry about leaving them on while gone besides you can juss turn the lights off if you ever decide to leave
I can't seem to get my cucumbers to grow true leafs
also did you build the greenhouse yourself? I want to know how to do it 😊
I did, yes, about 6 years ago! I have a bunch of pics up in my community tab. For sure though, once I had it, my garden and the production was revolutionized! Cheers!
Do cucumbers grow adventitious roots like tomatoes because I always get this confused for some reason
Indeed they do! Bury those stems!
I have a question why are my cucumber leaves turning yellow and how can I fix this?
Could be many reasons... pH, too much water, too little water, too hot, soil too salty, not enough nitrogen.... So many issues, hard to diagnose without actually seeing, touching, or feeling the soil
My cucumber seedlings have sprouted and are now about 6 inches with the cotyledons and still no first leaf. I planted my seeds in the starter tray on Feb. 13, 2021. They are truly amazing with thick stems. However, some are beginning to tip over. When can I expect the first leaf to appear before transplanting to 4 inch pots??
Hey Richard, should be any day now. Make sure they have lots of light! :-)
Well my cucumbers are still growing and are now 7 inches with the cotyledons and still no first leaf. Mostly all are tipping over. Can I transplant to the 4 inch pots now?? I will bury the plant as deep as possible. Also, can I use a different potting mix (Miracle Grow Potting Mix) than the initial potting mix (NewEarth Vortex). I do not want to damage the plants. Please advise.
@@richardl7565 hey Richard... I would get the plants more light. At this point, with them falling over, I think you have to replant them deep like that. You can use potting soil, just don't overly fertilize at this time.
Thank you for your immediate attention. I will transplant to the 4 inch pots. I can't wait to get them in the garden soon. I have already planted my lettuce(s), carrots, peas, and spinach seeds directly into the dirt in my backyard garden yesterday. I live in Austin, Texas and boy was I glad that I waited as I was planning on planting the seeds back on Feb. 12 when the temperature reached 80 degrees. Then the brutal winter storm hit with sub-freezing temperatures. Thanks again.
Are cotyledons on all first pop up seedlings 🌱?
Yes, they are called the seed leaves and are the first to emerge on all "dicot" plants.
I planted mine mid summer its now another spring and only seeing these buds. How is that?
Wait, you grew them over winter?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms the seed was there throughout summer only starting to show seedlings now
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms we are now approaching another summer in SA
How do you keep them from being leggy?
More light, less heat, medium moisture! :-)
So we DONT bury them to the top leaves like tomatoes?????
Why not treat them like you suggest with watermelons, which also do not like transplanting, by starting them in bideogradeable pots?
I find a couple varieties that not only tolerate transplanting.... But also send out adventitious roots! It's amazing!
How do you prevent bugs using soil in the house?
You can sterilize it in the oven or you can use yellow sticky traps. Hydrogen peroxide works as well.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you!
@@sn232 no problem!
wheres part 3?
On its way! I filmed these in real-time this year. That is, the next step can only be released when the next step actually happens and I film it! Now that I've hardened off all my plants: ua-cam.com/video/MsMCG01krRc/v-deo.html I am going to be making "Part 3's" of all the major plant video series I have. Cukes and Maters are next up! Both outdoor and greenhouse ones. Cheers, thanks for watching!
I truly did something wrong with my heirloom cucumbers, bcz they’re tall, but leaves are nowhere near as big as yours, and I planted seeds in jiffy lube peat moss trays I bought from Walmart on March 3.
Same ! And I just transplanted to a bigger pot.. all drooped/ limped over after two hours :(
This should be lack of light
what about cucumber beetles?
Yellow sticky traps and diligent manual removal. :-)
Wish I would've known not to replant til the. 3rd leaf popped out
Where's part 3?
ua-cam.com/video/O-3kRpoEo7Y/v-deo.htmlsi=CR9KwurrY-2Y-Ymj
Thats part 3
im doing everything on my balcony, my backyard is concrete
That's awesome, I love the dedication!
Why don’t you seed it straight in the big pot?
Time, space, cost, materials......seeds are cheap. Seed them in the big pots and one doesn't take, huge waste of resources of the course of hundreds of plants. Plus, I can cherry pick the best specimens along the way, ensuring the best crop for when its time to plant in the garden.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms ah clear. Thanks. So I guess for few plants in my back garden I can seed them straight in.
Why not start in bigger pot to start with it's not good distrurbing the roots no need of changing pot
Space. 100 plugs takes up a FRACTION of the space as 100 bigger pots.
Seriously that big in only a week? Most of what i plant indoors from seed are barely sprouts in that amount of time
