ok maybe a couple of factors for your sick plant

Heat / cold

too much watering

to much fertilizer

. i would back off with the fertilizer or use a very watered down mix.
i would also keep an eye on temps

personaly they look overwatered and over fed. it is still a young plant so cut back on your fertilizer, only water when first 1inch or so of soil is dry and dont soak them when feeding/watering.

taken from my seeding packet for cucumber care:
grow on seedlings at around 13-15'c (55-60'f)
hardened off standing outside for a few days in may ( avoid cold at all costs)

There done!!!

Cukes, cabbage,broc,caul,brussel sprouts need lots of water when they need them @ dark. When i plant my garden outside these plants always look somewhat like that but not dead. They do not need water when the sun is directly on them. They usually perk up @ dark cooler periods. But during hot periods they look like they need water but they do not.Hope this helps but i grow all that stuff outdoors.

Cucumbers need temperatures between about 60 - 80 degrees to be happy. Any lower or higher will cause slight issues but they will recover. They also drink enormous amounts of water especially when they are producing fruits, but you also don't want the growing medium to stay soaked. If possible try to give them 6-8 hours of morning sun & some very slight shade in the heat of the afternoon. Hope this info. helps some. Almost forgot...you can drop the nutes for now in my opinion. I know they use some nitrogen down the line in their growth.

that thing looks like it needs sun

When are you watering your plants?? If your watering them while their in direct sun you might be actually boiling them to some degree. Its like johnny said make sure your watering them at sun down and ya you prolly dont need any nutes this early.
