Meteor

Cucumber Meteor F1 is an early-maturing hybrid, distinguished by stable fruiting and vigorous growth. The plant forms exclusively female flowers, contributing to high yields. Fruits are green, 10-12 cm long, with excellent taste, making them ideal for pickling, salting, fermenting, and long-term storage.

This variety shows high resistance to viral diseases, especially powdery mildew, significantly simplifying care and increasing crop reliability. Cucumber Meteor F1 can be grown either from seedlings or sown directly into the soil. When growing from seedlings, seeds are sown in pots at a depth of 1.5-2 cm and kept at a temperature of around 25°C. Transplanting into the soil is done after the soil has warmed above 10°C and nighttime frosts have ceased.

For successful cultivation, use light soil with adequate organic fertilizer. When sowing seeds directly into the ground, place them in rows at a depth of 2-3 cm with spacing of about 5-6 cm; it is advisable to cover the initial sowing with plastic film. During the growing season, conduct up to three feedings, including foliar applications in the second half of growth, which helps increase yield and improve fruit quality.
