Variety Info: Quick Snack' is a parthenocarpic cucumber meaning that it will set fruit without a pollinator. If grown indoors, fruit will be seedless. If grown outdoors next to other cucumbers with male flowers, seeds are likely to develop. Fruits are best when picked 1.5"-2.5" long and 1" wide.
Attributes: Frost Sensitive
Sowing Info
When to Sow Outside: NOT RECOMMENDED. This variety is best grown indoors in 6"-8" pots. However, it can be planted outside and will still yield fruits. If sown outside, 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°-90°F.
When to Start Inside: Sow directly into 6"-8" pots anytime from early spring to early autumn.
Sprouts in: 5-10 days
Plant Seeds (Depth): 1/2"
Space Seeds: A group of 2 seeds per one 6"-8" pot
Row Spacing: Not applicable
Thinning: When 3 leaves thin to 1 plant per pot
Growing Info
Harvesting: Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile
Special Care: When grown indoors, sow a group of 2 seeds per one 6"-8" pot. When seedlings have 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant per pot. Plants will require a small trellis in the pot to keep the plants climbing upright. When the plant reaches the top of the trellis, pinch the vine and allow the plant to spread width wise. Pinching will help the plant put energy into producing more fruits.

- Carlos G.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsJun 20, 2026Perfect for indoor grow tent
I grew the quick snack cucumber from seed in an indoor grow tent. It has done great and so far I typically collect from 3 to 4 cucumbers per day ranging from 2 to 3 inches. The kids love them to snack and they taste great mixed into salads.
