I wouldn't start to feed them til they start to flower. There are various thoughts on feeding cukes and I suppose it will depend a lot on wheteher they are indoors or out, in soil or growbags etc.
I grew 40 odd cuke plants last year in my tunnel and they performed fantastically. I started them in 3" pots then planted into the soil and as I planted each one, I sank the empty pot into the soil at the base of the plant. I watered the plants via these pots (stops the water splashes rotting the base of the stems) and maybe every fortnight to three weeks I put a handful of chicken manure pellets in each pot and then watered as normal - the fertilser / feed was then drip fed over a period of time.
I did come across a specialist cuke feed and I mentioned it on a thread last year but can't find it at the mo, will have a look for it later and let you know if I find it.
But in answer to your question (Eventually!!) Tomorite will be fine.
