This early in your cycle no... I would just visually inspect the non-cured rock and try to remove as much nuissance "stuff" as possible before introducing them to the tank.

I mean... are they rocks from the LFS that were running in a tank...? because often times they need inspected also... You will still have die off during your cycle regardless. I believe cured just means (is supposed to mean) that they have been running in a tank long enuogh where the majority of the die-off has already taken place. If you are cycling I would not worry about it.
