Default Uh-oh, what kind of crud is this?

I've found this on a couple plants in Earthboxes. Also found on the plants were a few cucumber beetles. Otherwise, plants seem healthy. This is affecting new growth.

I haven't been spraying EB plants with anything, which I am now regretting.

Looks like blight

Edit: Actually now I see a little white stuff on the top of the one leaflet. It could be powdery mildew. Once it attacks it moves fast. You should start spraying with neem oil immediately.

I'm afraid I agree. This might need the bleach spray. And better hurry.

Awesome... Lol. I may just pull the sucker. Any ideas how the blight could have gotten on the plant since it's in a new Earthbox? Bugs?

Air born spores.

I want to add you can and should amputate the effected leaves.

Yes, airborne. Fusarium is soil borne so not likely to be gotten in an earthbox, but Septoria, early and late blight( I think this is the latter), several bacterials all can ride in on wind and rain.
