I have cucumber plants about 5-6" tall (abit leggy) and the leaves have started to turn yellow.  They are in a plastic greenhouse and kept well watered as with the Toms and  courgettes I have not fed them yet could this be the problem? any help appreciated.

Nutrient deficiency is quite rare in young seedlings, rather the number of their true leaves matter here, not the height.

Yellowing of leaves can happen for a multitude of reasons, too wet, too dry, too hot or too cold being just a few.

It may well be due to the large flucuations in temperatures. Of late is been hot during the day & very cold at night - as my spuds will testify!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
