how can i get more female flowers on my cucumber and ...?
Answers:
You can make sure you fertilize correctly. Don't let all the flowers grow, pluck some of them off so the energy of the plant can focus more on a few flowers versus many while making the fruit.

Pull one of the cucumbers off and then poke the flowers with it.

How many cucumber plants do you have? You need to have at least two.
Reaserch the type of cucumbers you are planting. Some types grom all male on one plant and all female on others. These are known as gynoecious cultivars. When planted you need to mark the male seeds so you don't thin them by mistake. One or two male vines will be enough to provide all the pollen you need
It's normal to have only one to three melons set per plant. Many female blooms will start to grow and then shrivel after several days. Even if your vines set lots of melons you should remove all but two or three to ensure proper growth of the fruit you keep.
never seen several melons on one plant, that is just life. it is a good idea to cut the plant when it tends to be too long - if you dont do it, it will creep further and forget about fruiting. next time plant more plants and just keep a couple of fruits on each cucumber - the whole thing will use the same space and yield more fruits. and dont rely only on insects with pollinating, take over the sex life of your melons and cucumbers if the season is not too late.
