Do you pinch out/prune yours?
My cucs tend to have their own way in the gh, thereby I end up with a miniature Amazon jungle. I dont prune avidly. Some say to nip out growing shoots when they hit the roof, some to nip out at 7 leaves (although to be fair I think that's for outside ones). My usual varieties of Beth Alpha and Konsa aren't too badly behaved but the Chinese Slangen I've grown this year seems a bit enthusiastic. Do I tip it, will it then throw out even more side shoots? What does the forum think?
