Powdery Mildew close to Harvest.

I am 8 weeks into flowering some bagseed, this my first grow and I've had some real crappy weather the past few weeks and didnt compensate with fans and lights since I jus bring her inside at night if its too cold but I noticed some powdery mildew two days ago, I just tried a heat treatment, 100 degrees for an hour and sprayed some alkaline water on. Any ideas how far away from Harvest I am and if I should just cut her down now? Any help definitely appreciated by experienced growers. Thank you.

p.s

I dunno how much longer you have left, get a micro scope for that and watch your thricomes, also depend on how you like your smoke, but since you do have mold it might be better to harvest a little early, if you decide to let it go for longer, remove them leaf`s infected, and try to get the Humidity down and use a fan for some air circulation, maybe also prune the plant a bit on the lower plant, like a pree manicure ..

Ive smoked pounds and pounds before i started growing 5 yrs ago makes me wonder how much mildew mold ive smoked lol ughh, I once got that powdery mildew on a plant that was in the corner of my tent really poor air circulation in that spot what you should do if that ever happens is go into your grow with a bag cover that bitch completly then take it out so it doesnt infect other's, now step your game up on that air circulation not to much you don't want wind burn lol... don't be runnen your temps to a 100 bro that's gonna kill potency big time......... Good Luck

first of all you look like your about 2-3 weeks away and to get rid of the pm organically you have a few choices that work....1. 1 teaspoon of baking soda to a liter of water. ( usually better used in early flowering, cuz it leaves a residue) this will raise the PH to 8.2 on the leaf surface. 2. mix 1 part lemon juice 2 parts water will lower the PH to 3.1 I use this mix in late flower all the way to harvest. also the plants love...3. go to the shopo and get some potassium bicarbonate this kills on contact i use this if theere is a bad infestation in veg and early flower. u can buy it called green cure or my fav PM Remover using this will definitley murder that shit. after the harvetst you can use the cervantes technique of washing it with H2O2 it works......!!!!!!!
