Cucumber plant problem?

ive got a greenhouse, so i planted a couple of cucumbers. One is fine but the other which is only 16-18 inches away just died, so i put another in the same spot and that died also....i think its a root problem but i cant see any ants, any ideas?

Cucumber plant problem?
cucumbers are the hardest amateur greenhouse plant to grow


if the humidity is wrong or you water too much or if its in a draught or there,s tomatoes near the dead one or you,ve used the same pot as the old plant as this can carry harmfull spores.


if you get the first full fruit then the plant withers and dies its a watering problem


is the rest of the greenhouse overcrowded? you need plenty of room for cues around the plant or leaf mould sets in.


if youv,e put them in growbags it could be a localised disease already in the bag. put them in individual pots next time, at least 8" but 10"is better and when the first fruits set give them a weekly high potash feed
