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?

Thanks for your advice. I'll try giving them more nutrients and keep them damp. This will be difficult for me because I've conditioned myself to only water when the top 3 - 5 cm of the soil are dry... I killed more plants by overwatering than uunderwatering...
They alread have fruit but I read that cucumbers keep producing fruit as long as I harvest them before they're fully ripe.
Yeah you have them in bags. It will be impossible to get them wet enough cause they will always drain in every direction. But you will lose loose nutrients if you over water.
Also they will absolutely keep producing but the plant will definitely stop growing as much once they start fruiting.
