Hello alwaystoken86.
I'm sorry to hear about the damage your suffering with your girl. I've had PM myself twice now because of a Very humid greenhouse and have used a ratio of 1 part semi skimmed milk to 10 parts water and sprayed under the leaves and on top of the leaves till just before it runs off.
You can also use 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda to 1 Liter of water sprayed as before and that also works but i believe the latter can change your PH a little if you get to much on your growing medium so you might want to cover your soil first? As I've said i have used both and they Both work very well ;-) Once you have sprayed, leave it on for about an hour or so and then rince of with plain water then you should be good to go ;-) if not just repeat the spray again...
Good luck and hope you didn't suffer too much damage with Irene ;-)

I use Lemongrass Extract. 5-10 drops per quart, with a little surfactant to mix it up. In controlled laboratory tests, I found that it inhibited the growth of A. niger, S. cerevisiae, and C. albicans to an extent greater than that of even the control antifungals (by disc diffusion bioassay).
It hasn't worked for Leaf Spot but it seems to work on powdery mildew. If it prevents Aspergillus niger you can be pretty sure that it will prevent most of those nasty spore forming brown/gray molds you see on bud. But, not sure at this point. It's my first year using it.
Just my 2c.

So far baking soda works really well for me. I made a paste and just left it on the affected areas. I think the paste might be a bit much, but i had a plant that looked terminal. So far its doing a lot better with no new mold flare ups. i think a more diluted spray would work just as good. Just dont get any on the buds or it will kill them. Mine was just applied to the stalk. I snipped off any buds that had mold. Early samples ;)

Go through all of your plant and surgically take out ALL infected areas. If you wait, it's just going to get ugly.

FIRST POST SHOU;D HAVE BEEN WHAT KIND OF MOLD IS IT? whats your room size, are you in flowering and if so how far into it or how far left to go for plants in question, how much air circulation do you have, whats your ventilation.setup

if you want help make it so you can be helped otherwise your gonna get the wrong information and do somthig wrong, if th mold was brown and fuzzy then its bud rot and all you have to do is remove the infected area, and the areas around it incase some of the mold made it around

Well i made it out to her and found i had to walk in water almost all the way there. Good thing it was not sitting in water But as i approched her i noticed all leafs were drooping. So i pulled bucket from ground and hole filled in with water within a min and was pouring out of holes i drilled in bucket. So proabily a lil over watered so i put her in bushes to dry out. There was no signs of mold or bud rot. The brown spots must have been burn from sun were it got bag hot and touched bud. because it had a bag over it for 4 days total so its fine now.Time for details its small bushy and full of buds like 3 weeks flowering total healthy dark green leaves lots of crystals. I have pics on phone dont know how to load. thankx for help

Baking soda will change the ph of the plant because that's what stops the mould. Apparently, mould doesn't do well at a certain ph level, so spraying with the bakind soda mixture effectively sets the ph on the plant to a level that mould does not like.
