Sounds like powdery mildew; as long as you're still vegging and you get on it asap you'll be alright. I've had the best success with neem, but i've heard a milk and water solution does very well.

Do some searching on it. You'll find tons of detailed instructions.

Mildew loves low temps 70's and high humidity. Get a fan going so it blows along the bottom of the plants, a gentle breeze is all your looking for 7/24.
Use regular milk and mix it 10 to 1 and spray on the affected plants. There is an enzyme in the milk that kills the mildew.
You need to lower the humidity also.
Peace

use a sprayer. the amount of neem you use depends on the concentration in the bottle. just follow directions. milk would be cheaper but seams sick to put on your plants. not dissing anyone but neem is cheap $20 gives me a bottle that lasts 2-3 years. someone told me dish soap once dont listen if anyone tries.

I really dont think it's related to the bug killer. They definitely need a spray treatment, but if you don't fix the cause you'll never get rid of the problem. Like woodsman said, high humidity and low air flow are the main causes. You can't change the earths humidity, but you definitely can in your outdoor garden. Try spacing your plants out a bit more, only spray at dusk or dawn, do some pruning if needed. Remove dead and heavily damaged leaves, etc.
good luck!

Man i wish it lasted me that long. I go through a bottle a month it seems ( with all of its uses )
By the way, the dish soap is a surfactant;it helps the liquid spread out more evenly across the leaves instead of rolling off. People always screw up and use way too much, it does great for me at about 1/8th teaspoon per gallon.
