Question about cucumber seedlings

M

I've noticed the cotyledon on the cucumber seedlings droop during the day and perk up over night. I keep them 5" below my lights with the same exposure as the other seedlings.

Is there too much direct light for cucumber plants or too warm?

Thanks,
Dave
 
I sure hope you have space for them! Mine were 100% out of control 3 weeks after planting last year. I would not treat them like the pepper seedlings, back them a tad bit back from the light. I have found cucumbers do awesome when provided a bit of cover and shade. My backyard is 100% south facing so it is brutal for any plant that cannot handle 100% pure sun. 
 
As Chris and Cathrine said, Ive always started them outside no problems. And despite what a package might say I'm with Joyners that they really don't want full sun. Your seedlings going now id say cut the light way back and just keep em alive till plant out
