So this is my first year planting cucumbers and I noticed one of the male flowers fell off and I have more male flowers that look like they’re going to bloom than female flowers. Is this normal? And what can I do to get more female flowers?

I’d just make sure to feed them a bloom food. One with 10/30/30 ratios. Anything labeled bloom or fruiting will work well.

Use it every time you feed your plants.
