Q.Cucumbers
My cucumbers grow to about an inch and then seem to dry up. The vine is lush and lots of flowers. Have had one huge cuke so far.

It is a pollination problem. When the flowers are not pollinated, the plant "aborts" the fruit because it will not make seeds. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/insect-pollination-process.htm
You will need to hand pollinate, so this article will also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/cucumber/hand-pollinating-cucumbers.htm
