Well it's in the title... They were growing great but in the last days or so the leaves started wilting. They always showed some yellowing and I thought about nitrogen deficiency so I fed them with slurry but without success... Any tips?

The cannabis hiding in the back looks really healthy, are you giving the cucumbers the same feeding regiment?

No, the cannabis is fed with a special cannabis fertilizer.

Give it some, there’s nothing special about cannabis nutrients than marketing. Most have generic watering guidelines if you’re following a specific formula.

Is it in the same soil? Most soil meant for cannabis comes with no nutrients in it, so if the cucumbers are in the same stuff, she’s hungry for everything you haven’t given it.

Thanks, I'll try feeding the cucumbers with my cannabis nutrients. It's COMPO Grow Organic by the way.

Yes, they are in the same soil but I didn't use special cannabis soil but instead a simple potting soil mixed with some perlite for better drainage. I also added some horn buckle before planting.

Okay, some potting soils come with some nutrients or time delay nutrients, so if things were fine and went down hill, she ran out of stuff to feed on.

I could be off base, but I would start there, check the soil, see what they say to start feeding if they do.
