if you don't do anything about it, yes, it will affect your other girls.
if it's in its early stages, a couple of chem-free options are skim milk (you make a solution of 10parts water 1 part skim, spray, leave for an hour, and rinse. i know it sounds weird but it works) and baking soda (same thing but i've never actually tried this one before).
how they work is they change the surface ph of your plants and the pm just falls off.

of course it will affect your others. if you have mold you either took clones from a dirty grow, or you dont have adequit ventilation,circulation,and steady temps. once its there its there till you clean/clean and clean again. then start over. sorry but if you care about your health you wont smoke pm'ed buds.

No sign of it on my buds yet. I caught it early. Think advice I got on here will solve the problem. ( i hope)
1 tbl spoon Baking soda/1 gallon water. Sprayed the two and the mildew seems to be less. Almost gone.
Im new at this so will post the outcome.

I dont think so buddy. They are to close to being ready. Its only on a couple of leaves.
If it looks like its spreading I will pull them before it gets to my bud. Clipped a few buds 3 days ago.
They look and smell great. No sign of mold. None the less I still have four girls with no signs of mildew

Serious? What makes you think i'm not? This is pretty pricey so I am trying to have a YIELD when it's all said and done.
If i'm doing something wrong, or there's a better way OF COURSE I want to know! Search where?

Im not getting into any debates over pm...everyone has their ways or methods. Organic & non. Sulfer burner is one of the most effective ways to stop & even kill it. Powder sulfer can be foliar sprayed, But burning get's in the air...I burn in my second week of flowering for preventive measures if needed for 3 hrs. in dark for 3 day's (Night's) in a row. And never have that problem. And the reason I got it in the first place was infected clones from a friend! But if u r in the last weeks of your grow U should go organic & keep trimming the shit leaves off to make sure it does not get in buds. One time had the shit at 6wk & cut all the leaves & the buds didnt get any...Thank god, I thought it was going to effect my yeild...to my surpise it was better than the previous. LOL
As for your others How old r they? And also as many others have said need to find root of problem & such as enviroment, etc. So that u can prevent this happening again. Peace & Happy growing!

Even if its a week or two from being harvested, I would get some sand and add 1/2" to the top of your plant (assuming its potted), and spray with some Ed Rosenthals Fungicide. Its completely natural and organic, and works great with sand to help your spotted mold issues.

please explain sir, im interested on what u say. sand?

Yes. Sand. Your mildew problems are from high humidity and or heat stress. If your root zones stagnates. It creates an environment that breeds powdery mildew even though it shows up on the leaves. So if you top off your plant's pot with sand and mix it into the top, you will help absorb stagnate matter in your soil to stop the mold producing environment. But your not done there, because mold becomes airborne after it visibly forms on your leaves so you need to kill the visible mildew to stop it from forming on your other plants. Eds does a good job without using any chemicals and comes in a ready to use foliar spray

5 Days before harvest. Careful though. It says ready to use meaning you don't have to mix water with it, but I always mix 1/2 cup of water (per qt) into the sprayer because it can burn your plants especially if you apply it in the middle of your light cycle. I would use it half an hour before your lights turn on to prevent "burn spots"
