Fix Slow Growing Cucumber Seedling with Stem that Break Easily

[Henlus]

Signs:
- Dark green leaves, brittle stems 
- Slow growth, yellow edges (potassium lack) 
- Low yields 

How I Fix it:
1. Prune blocking leaves & side shoots 
2. Spray foliar fertilizer (micronutrients) 
3. Apply NPK (20:10:10) to supply potassium and phosphorus
4. Avoid fresh manure. Use composted manure 

 Pro Tip: If you must use raw manure, plant 60cm from raw manure to protect young roots.
