Cucumber leaves turning white

Morning

This is the first year that I have grown cucumbers and the plants were going really well when some of the leaves have turned white.  I understand from previous posts on the forum this is due to over watering.  How do I rectify the problem?

    Reduce watering could be a possible answer, and let it dry out a bit. Plants need to breath under the soil and overwatering can result in “drowning”.

    Reduce watering frequency and avoid getting the leaves wet. Good luck, theres nothing like a home grown cucumber

    Cucumber leaves can scorch . Shade  the plants on very sunny days.
