If it's just a few lower leaves on an otherwise healthy fast growing plant, I think I'd just cut the affected leaves off and get them out of the way.
It's also important to keep the compost moist when it's warm - pots can dry out quickly this time of year. Stress and weather are the root cause of the problem

I always treat it with bicarbonate of soda .
Google bicarbonate of soda treatment for cucumbers. Its a very cheap fix (about a quid). I spray regularly throughout the season to keep it in check.
Make sure you get the mix right otherwise you end up with a lot of very scorched leaves
