doesn't look like downy or powdery mildew to me it looks like over fertilization or not enough... i have never done hydroponics before but that's what mine look like when i wasnt using rich enough soil last year in the ground.
@FallenAngelGirl187 i started to use commercial fertilizer and it killed my plant, i switched to a "fish and poop" fertilizer and it brought it back to life with a vengeance lols
if ur using chemicals, then that would be the problem, over feeding...and i wouldnt eat cucumbers that are feeding off chemicals...i would grow in dirt and use organic fert...like fish and worms...u might actually be able to get tablets for your system that are all organic seaweed...unless ur using organic stuff, im sure they have stuff..
Also, I don't think you have powdery mildew or have a plant suffering from neglect. Google leaf miner damage and compare pics. They consume the leaves from within causing spots and eventually leaf curling at the tips. Unsightly, but not detrimental. Keep it up and don't thank people for cunty suggestions lol
Great results and set up. Scraggly is fine for an indoor setup because it won't have to battle with the elements. The number of cucumbers and size are what matter and your results are impressive
to be honest, thats actually pretty scraggly for 72 day cucumbers.
I planted my cuke transplants 3 weeks ago and just harvested my first cuke .
of course mine are in the soil enjoying the sun and spring weather.. your issue is either downey mildew or powdery mildew.. spray them with water and 2 tblsp baking powder mix
You might want to try a cal mag sup. looks like a mineral dif. to me of course im in to a different kind of growing and in my area you need to find the problem quick hahah but any way cal mag suplement is cheep it wont fix the current leaves with the issue but will stop any further damage but on the new growth will stop it all together hope this helps and i like your home made set ups you have.
no no no... PPM or EC doesn't look to be your problem and usually isn't with a DWC system. Salt build up is more likely to occur in coco coir, soil, promix, etc. As far as fixing your problem there are many things you aren't doing. I would suggest; FEEDING THEM CARBS (carboload by Advanced nutrients or just molasses), regulating PH, using some beneficials (there are hundreds maybe thousands), using a silicate to increase cell count. If the problem isn't gone then let me know.
I think it is possible that the curling of the leaves has something to do with overfeeding. From what I read, this can happen when the feed is too strong on the outside of the root membrane. You can try to use reverse osmosis to treat this so that the water that passes from inside the plant across the root membrane can lower down the strong solution outside the plant. At the same time, doing this process can also help to even out the pressure on both sides of the root membrane. Good luck!
My guess is that it could be either nitrogen deficiency or a fungus really hard to say just from watching a video. My reason for saying it might be nitrogen is one of the signs of nitrogen deficiency is yellowing leaves, also it happened when you switched to a bloom nutrient, cucumbers are heavy feeders like most vine type plants. So that would be a possibility
My first thought was some nutrient deficiency, possible a mineral of some kind. Next guess was a fungus or mildew thing. It sure isn't hurting the fruiting though. You have more cukes there than I had in my garden outside last year.

yup it looks like it bugs

this has all to do with ph,unless you have fungus or bugs.
could be too much food cause its not lacking food.
if it was do to under feeding,the leaf would turn yellow and be sucked dry by the plant.
this is just what i think of course.

@Jksax914 ,, sorry that's "1 gallon of water" per 2 tblsp of baking soda, I get it every year and the spray knocks it out within 2 days.

thanks for the pollination tip!
i don't think it's fertilizer burn, but you could just check the ppm to be sure.
good luck with that leaf curl too, let us know if you find out what the cause is.
thanks for the updates!

I looked it up via google images. Looks like it could be downy mildew or angular spot. Alot depends on that the underside of the leaves look like.
