I am using hydroponics system to grow cucumbers. It's been 45 days and the plays are grown more than 6 feet and started getting flower. But I noticed that there are some flowers falling off. Is it normal for some to fall of like this in the picture? Any suggestions?

Add calcium and don't forget to trim your plants. These are 65 days old 2nd picking.

I would mix a few drops of calcium concentrate liquid.

      oh wait, you need to trim too and watch out for those suckers. you would want to concentrate your plant's engery into some specific branches only. too bushy plants will not give you quality/quantity fruits.

It looks like it is just falling off the cucumber itself. You should be fine. My problem last year in my yard and growing in the dirt , the cucumber got bitter. A friend told me it is because I removed the flower. I tried to keep the other ones on and they were better. But no idea if that’s the same growing them in hydroponic yet.

1. It's probably too hot. 2. You probably have to manually pollinate them.

      I agree, even it happened to me in my tomato plants. What I did is manual pollination and it worked.

Are those male or female flowers? Parthenocarpic cucumbers are best for nurseries or indoor growing. Doesn’t need pollination. They are self pollinating like Picolino
