There are two ways to grow cucumbers, main stem growth and side chute growth yo can only successfully us one method to get good results.
Main Stem don't let any thing grow for the first two feet of the plant to promote strong growth of the main stem. after that as any side chute develop let them grow on for four leaf stems tie them for support as cucumbers will grow then nip out the growing tip. do this to every side chute that develops and just let the main stem grow on till you find the need to stop it
Side Chute. Again don,t let anything grow for the first two feet after that as a side chute grows train them horizontally along supports you can let them over lap each other if you are growing side by side. after getting six side chute ( three each side of the stem) to grow then nip the growing tip out on the main stem. If you do use this method you may have to nip off every other cucumber to encourage the others to develop.
If you are gowing to use the side chute method you need good support and plenty of room
