Do you want to grow cucumber seeds, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting cucumber seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

• Cucumber Seeds must be consistenly watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

• Because growing seasons in most areas is not long enough, cucumber seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start cucumber seeds indoors:

When to Start Cucumber Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of cucumbers, it takes roughly 21 – 42 days (3 to 6 weeks) to grow cucumbers from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden.

The approximate date of when you should start your cucumber seeds indoors can be found by:

• Finding the last average frost date HERE
• And then subtract 42 days from it

To help ensure the greatest success of your cucumber seeds germinating you should:

• Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
• Use a grow light to control how much light your cucumber seeds receive
• Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your cucumber plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bear vegetables.
