Growing Cucumber

Im growing cucumber in large,deep,planting bags. I planted 8 seedlings about a week ago and they are in a full sun position, I water them twice a day ( not flood them probably about a cup each ) I have lost 3 so far, its almost as if they have been sprayed with weed killer, they have just curled up and shrivelled away. Can you advice me on how to save the last 5 plants.
