Now I just throwing some out OK?
You could try a 50% alcohol and 50% water mix. Now take cotton balls and wipe the leaves gentle were the mildew is. It should kill it after a couple of times.

I found a bunch of spots on my almost-done-flowering Blue Dream today. So bummed! I trimmed the leaves with the mold, which the guy at my hydroponics store recommended. I put a couple drops of neem oil into a spray bottle of water and gave the air a couple light spritzes to combat the spores (I didn't apply it directly to the buds -- apparently they'll hold the nutty taste and burn black smoke). If your buds haven't flowered, you can buy fungicide from a gardening store and dip the plant in it. I did this with my Skywalker plant and it turned out well.

Make sure to keep the air flow going, get lots of fresh air, and keep an eye on any other plants you have to make sure it doesn't spread.

High PH water will keep it in check until harvest. ( 8.2 and up )

Spray every few days.

Does nothing to hairs or buds.

Thinning out plant for optimal air flow is a must..keep temps close ( night and day ) Increase over all air flow.

Serenade, Safer Fungicide Soap, Milk and Jalapeno blend.

PM is in all plants and becomes active with either high humidity or big swings in humidity. The best way to prevent it is to do a sulfur "burn" right before going to 12/12 or if it shows during veg.

Grow Safe

PM attacks from the inside out..so once you have it it is very very hard to control even with the above advice..trust.. I have had it a couple of times & tried almost everything posted above apart from the suplhur.. I had to trim off the worst bits through the entire grow & ended up with a very sad looking, almost un-smokable plant..Ever since then I have had a dehumidifier & better air circulation & not had a problem in 2 years
