I have plenty of tiny cucumbers on my plants they seem to be doing well I fell I should take some off to bet gigger ones how many should be left on each plant for healthy growth
Don't remove them. They have the capacity to produce even more than they can hold, so removing them will only reduce the number that mature.
Here is an article to help you with cucumber care:

Hi, I am growing a Diva cucumber plant in a 5 gal. hydroponic system. Diva cucumbers have only female flowers. I have a lot of female flowers but the fruit is not setting for some reason. Any suggestions? Thanks
It sounds like a lack of male flowers. There can be no fruit without pollen. Usually, you want to plant multiple, since they will often set male and female blooms at different times. Otherwise, you will need to collect any instances of male flowers and save the pollen or anthers. it is necessary to hand pollinate cucumbers for fruit set. They will not self pollinate.
Here are a couple of articles that will help:

My cucumber plants leaves start turning translucent in between the veins and then dies. Everything else is fine
Without seeing the rest of the plant, it looks to be overwatered, or the soil is infected. This can happen when trying to compensate for heat. It is necessary to let the soil dry out, thoroughly, down to about 2 or 3 inches between watering, even when it is warm.

Once I transplanted my Young cucumber plants put from pots to a raised vegetable bed they started turning yellow/white. I live on the south coast and only planted them out a week ago so they’ve never been exposed to frost
I would check the pH of your soil. It should be about 6.5 to 7, ideally. I see signs of slug damage as well.

vines will be growing and producing then suddenly start dying and when I pull them up they are hollow inside
They are hollow inside, already. This is part of the reason that they are so susceptible to disease. Now, if you are noticing HOLES leading to the inside, and find the borers responsible, then that can certainly be a problem.
Unfortunately without photos of how to damage progresses, I could only assume one of many fungal/bacterial infections. Usually, overwatering or soils that don't have a chance to dry out between watering.
I would use a fungicide and treat the area. Let it sit for a season before using it again. Take this time to amend the soil so that it is ready for planting.

I have planted quite a few plants but this is my first time having my own garden. My cucumbers and tomato plants seem to be doing fine. However my pepper plants seem to be dying. See attached photos.
Did you harden off your seedlings before planting them? Has your weather been unusually hot? Seedlings get "sunburn" from intense, hot sunshine especially while they are getting established. I think you seedlings will make it. If you can rig up some shade until they look better, they will appreciate it. I've used open cardboard boxes, old sheets, and paper leaf bags over a shovel to cast shade. Row cover or shade cloth are available for purchase. Because seedling roots don't go very deep yet, water your plants well several times each week. They will require less frequent watering later.
Hi, my cucumber plants have been healthy but I have noticed a couple of the leaves are beginning to get light yellow spots on them and I can’t figure out what it is and what I need to do. Help! Also, the flowers have the tiniest little yellowish (hard to tell they are SO tiny) bugs crawling on the inside of them. Are they harmful? They don’t seem to fly.
I see thrips (and not the good kind) and signs of overwatering! Both will make quick work of your plant.
