Trying out glass bead spinner 2.0

I ordered Nailed It Magnetics’ new iteration of the glass bead spinner (5DPrintFactory on Etsy) and wanted to test it out on some of my magnetics!

I magnetized with my 13lb horseshoe attached on top of the spinner. Didn’t result in a super tight bead, but the tool was really easy to use (I nicked my left middle finger as seen in the video, but that was 100% user error). I’d say the tool results in a velvet/glass bead hybrid with the polishes I tried—mostly BKL, a little tighter with the MC polish. Overall, happy with the purchase!

Product list (order from index to pinky on my right hand, used 2 coats and magnetized the second coat + TC):
- EdM Brightening BC
- BKL Mother Bog Witch
- MC Forbidden Fruit
- BKL Blade of the Frontiers
- BKL This is Arkany
- BKL QDTC

What is going on with my cucumber?

Hello! First time gardener here raising some Japanese cucumbers this season 👩🏻‍🌾 I harvested my first cucumber the other day (second and third pic) and it looked (and tasted—so fragrant!!) good. Just checked my garden and noticed this spiral guy. The first cucumber was originally growing next to this spiral fella (left one in the third pic). Any insight into why this is happening?

I’ve been hand pollinating them and it looks like 3 baby cukes kinda morphed into this big spiral circle guy?? I water regularly in the evening if that matters at all. Thank you!
