These cucumbers seem to love the Kratky setup I put them in. I also started Kratky buckets with Tomatoes and Romaine lettuce.

Two cucumber seedlings in netcups suspended in a black bucket.

Does the black bucket outdoors make the water too hot?

    Yeah, that was my thought as well. Especially the roots that hang in the air are very sensitive to that.

    Maybe consider covering it with some linen?

    Very cool!! Do you mind sharing how much you spent on the whole set-up?
