is there any reason why my cucumber plants would be producing male
flowers
by the dozen but not producing any fruit.

is there anything I can do to try and promote more fruit growth and less
male flower growth.

Cucumbers like high humidity and temperature.

Mine doesn't seem to know that as it is presently growing out through
the permanently open low vent. I took my first fruit off it yesterday
and there are several more ripening up as we speak. It is an all female
variety. In fact I can't understand why anyone still grows the old
varieties where you have to be on guard 24 hours a day to stop
fertilisation ;-)
