Cucumber question

buggalugs

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with my dilemna. I have a cucumber that is only in a shallow 4" pot and need desperately to pot it on.
My problem is this, it has decided to flower, now am I going to kill it by potting it on?
If not and it is possible to do so would I be better going up just one or two sizes?
You see I am not sure if they are like chillis and put their energy into making roots before fruiting.
Any help would be gratefull recieved.
TIA

I potted mine from a 4" to a 10" pot. It looked lost at first but soon started growing. I then planted it into the ground. It will need staking and grows quite tall.
Good luck

Just pot it on, it'll be fine. You won't kill it, you'll be doing it a favour. If it's an outdoor ('ridge') type, put it in the ground. If it isn't, don't mess around, put it in a big pot now and get ready to feed it - cucumbers are hungry and thirsty plants.
