Edge of leaves on cuke transplants turning brown

I transplanted some cukes a couple days ago. A couple of them have some transplant shock during the day, but perk up during the night. Keeping them watered.

However, I noticed that all of them are have a ring of brown around their leaves, and even some brown spots. Can this be not enough water...too much water? Part of transplant shock? Here are a couple pictures...

That is pretty common with transplanted plants. The leaves are not used to direct sun and they will turn yellow and likely dry up and drop off. Nothing to worry about. The new growth will do fine.
