Once seedlings get their first true leaves, they usually need some diluted fertilizer to keep growing. 50+ degrees should be fine though it's more about soil temp. Cucumbers also don't like their roots disturbed. I stopped starting them inside since the direct seeded plants usually caught up with or passed the growth of the transplants.
