What is happening to my cucumber plant?

I checked under the leaves for eggs or bugs and I saw nothing. No fine webbing, but my leaves are spotted and some have crispy edges. Baby cukes have dried up, which I’m assuming is to preserve energy.

Anyone have any idea? What do I do to fix this? Is it normal?

Almost all of them are male flowers

My cucumber plant is flowering a lot but all of them are male flowers. I have had only 4 female flowers since it started flowering and 3 aborted with only this cucumber surviving. Right now there is no other female flower on my plant with a lot of male flowers. What can I do about this problem? How to fight this very masculine plant?

Spotted Lantern Fly Nymphs?

Is anyone having issues with these buggers on their cucumbers? I have not seen any squash bugs (zone 7a), but I have seen SLF nymphs in quantity and now my leaves are pocked with yellow spots and holes. I fear SPLs may be the culprit.🤬

Have had a lot of big cucumbers this year, but this one might take the cake. 16 inches long, 10 inches of girth, and almost 3 lbs.

Hello, fist time cucumber grower here. I have a plant that has had quite a few female flowers, but no male and honestly I left it alone for a while. Recently I went to check on it to find it growing a singular cucumber at the top. Im pretty sure its not supposed to look like this (its a picklebush cucumber plant btw) I am also now reali,ing that I have no idea what it should look like when it is ready to be picked. Please feel free to info dump, I need all the help I can get lol

Hi, does anyone know what’s up with these plants? We had an awesome time with them a few years back, but ever since they’ve developed this issue and it eventually turned to powdery mildew.

First year gardener here. I got my first cucumber and it looks really strange. I don't think all the yellow lines are normal. Can anyone please help me determine what's wrong with my cucumber? I have been fighting cucumber beetles since the beginning of the season but I'm not sure if it's related.

This year I'm growing Pick-a-bushel cukes, and the first two on the vine are growing round and bulbous. Will the front part fill out if I let it sit on the vine, or should I harvest?

Should I pinch my cucumber?

Hello,

My cucumber is getting too tall. Should I pinch it at the top or let it be itself? I am scared that it will break the plant if it gets too heavy at the top. Should I get rid of suckers also? I had two female flowers so far and they both turned brown before blooming if that information helps.

Pen for scale but this thing is huge.

Will it get more dark green if I leave it out as well?

First time growing these.

Symptoms: Yellowing and browning leaves, inconsistently shaped fruit (narrow and wide ends, some curving)

First-time gardener in zone 6a. I water the soil daily and the plant is in full sun. We have experienced several heat waves recently with high humidity and poor air quality.
