How many cucumber plants in a growbag?

Two or three, I'm cautious about putting three in case it leaves them short of nutrients or growing space. What do you think?
Will three plants be enough to feed us with cucs through the summer?

We're a family of 4, and 2 plants is more than enough for us.

Keep picking them, even if you don't eat them, as if they grow large, they stop making little ones.

How many do you get off a plant? And how big are they? Never grown before but keen to try this year

It depends on the quality and size of growbag. If its a 75p postage stamp type then use only one. If its a full size bag then use two. Have you thought of growing the mini cues, it can save having soggy ends in the fridge. Grown well a mini cue plant can have over 100 fruits on each plant. Don't forget that the smaller the bag the more frequent watering and feeding you need to do.

We grow small indoor cucumbers. They're about 15cm long. We have 2 plants and pick one a week during the growning season (about May to August). They need plenty of water, a weekly feed, and something to grow up, but are not any trouble.
