    Too much nitrogen can stimulate lots of green growth at the expense of blooms, so if you've been fertilizing them a fair amount that could be it. The other thing I wonder about is if they're getting enough sun? Cucumbers been a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight.

    This would be a fungal infection. This is common with soils that are compact, or that don't drain well. It also shows up in container if the soil remains wet for too long.

    You can replace 1/4 of a container of water with peroxide the next time it needs water. This will help fight the illness, and will allow you to get some fruit from the plant.

    I actually spent quite a bit of time looking for a variety that does just what you mention in your question.
    Most varieties that I researched, actually brag of large production!
    I would look for a smaller cucumber variety; this may make more sense then larger fruit varieties for you.

    Proper storage will also help you hold the fruit. Pick Cucumbers in the am; wash, dry and place in a bag in a crisper drawer in the fridge. They should store for a week.

    There are many things you can do to help out here. I have a method for insect control that I use that will also help control fungus, and other infections. This will also balance the pH of the soil, and provide calcium and magnesium, which these plants tend to use very quickly. The recipe is as follows: First, you will want to prime the soil with dolomitic lime, then spread wettable sulfur to Kill off any infection in the soil. I Also like to spray the plant itself. Mix a few drops of one or more of these ingredients into warm water with a spoonful of coconut oil: Rosemary oil, lavender oil, neem oil, garlic oil, cinnamon extract/oil and for really bad cases, also add clove oil.
