Those having fragile roots, like beans and cucurbits (melons, squash, cucumbers), should be thinned as soon as possible, before their roots have a chance to become intertwined with one another. Otherwise, the remaining seedlings may suffer from root disturbance.

Can cucumber plants get too much sun?

Cucumbers grow in full sun but can survive with just 5 hours a day. Spacing is important as competing cucumber vines can shade one another out if planted too closely. This will prevent the cucumber from growing evenly.
