Michael Lane your cucumber and squash plants have both male and female flowers. you will need to hand pollinate by removing the male flower and rubbing the stamen of the male flower on the female flowers. Not sure about watermelon pollination. You can look up hand pollination techniques on You Tube.

Best of luck Phil. I hate to see a fellow trout grower bail but you need to get healthy and dive right back in. Eat lots of trout for your heart health.
Michael. this chart from "grow food, not lawns"might help:

I had a similar problem with my GH system when I started last year. When I got flowers I hand pollinated as Leo said and it worked but I only had Bell Pepper. Tomatoes never produced.

Do you have insects? If you are in a greenhouse, you will need to pollinate by hand. We need a bit more information than what you are giving us to help with your problem

Thanks Jim, yeah it was some seriously hard work. My daughters boyfriend / fiancé helped me with a lot of it. We are going to add some NFT's and A tower or two just to see how it reacts with everything.
Absolutely spot on advise as for just jumping right into it, that's what we did, and good advise on the YouTube videos, we have learned some hard lessons by watching them. Aquaponics is definitely an addiction that we like. Just wish we had a lot of land so we can go real big hahahahahaha.
