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?

Is this your first time growing cucumbers? I remember mine needing ton of water, like I couldn't water them enough.

Yes it's my first time growing cucumbers. I water them when the soil at the top of the container is dry two knuckles deep. This happens every few days. Maybe this is not often enough?

Yeah I would say daily watering with that amount they get quite thirsty
