Im pretty sure it was pollination, there were no bugs on it at all..was grown entirely inside, beautiful leaves and so many flowers! Temps were in mid 20's (Celsius), humidity at 50%. It was in the light for 19 hours a day, which also may have been an issue. Maybe i'll try one again if I have an outdoor garden:) I had no one to give it to, I don't know anyone lol. The cantaloupe I chucked as well..it was 2 weeks old on its 3rd set of leaves, but that would have been much more complicated than the cuke! my dill is growing nicely and the marigold! lol, im not sure the tomato will be a keeper either, it likely can't pollinate either, I might put that out as well once it blooms, its a tiny tim so surely it won get knocked over by the wind:)
