Container cucs: water, fertilizer or what??

Brainerd, MN

I grew cuc very successfully last summer in this large 20 gal tub. As you can se ein the photo, (only) one of the leaves has developed an odd coloration. Too much water?... root rot?... not enough fertilizer? I'm hoping this is a problem I can catch and fix early before my plant dies. (The actual color of the discoloration is sort of a tan.) Thanks in advance for ay suggestions you can give.

I don't know what your problem Is. I am only guessing that you may not have enough water or some nutrient deficiency. Have you tried any hydroponic nutrients? They would give your plant complete food, some that they may be missing.
If you go the University of Hawaii on Google you will find an area on gardening. They describe a way to grow cucumbers with just water and nutrients in a garbage can.
you might find it interesting.
God Bless
