I've got a nice tripple blossom but the stem diameter is small and about 4 inches long horizontal. Maybe put pic on diary tomorrow. I really have to support it. Trouble is I topped the plant.I didn't pay attention the long skinny stem lol.

I would guess you will have to take a "wait and see approach." Once in a while, I believe we all regret some pruning we have already done.

This sounds like an issue for the cucumber board.

You end up having to support them. Your truss is bit young to have a keeping-it-up dysfunction... but in the end you have to support them anyhow.

I think they have some kind of a support for a stem such as you are describing in the back room at the Adult Book Store. Porkchop, give us some help here. Iceman? These suggestions come directly from the Cucumber Forum.

It's a massive job and it needs all three supports for the triple blossom!
