Sorry to bug ya I was worried that was to strong because says all applications only 1 ounce a gallon.
After Marrone's merger they removed their small tank mixing instructions however you can read them here:

4 tbsp/gallon for foliar is 60 ml/gallon which is 2 ounces since 1 tablespoon is 15 ml and I'm calling an ounce 30 ml for ease of math when it's actually 28.5 ml/oz, hope that helps

It's 4 tablespoons/gal when disease is present or likely.
2 gal refers to per 1000 sq ft.
Exactly and one is dilution rate the other is application amount. Anyway the time I had recurrent PM in my Bodhi Lucky Charms I was using 1 oz/gal and it didn't really knock it back. I found the small tank mixing and doubled it to 2 oz/gal and it knocked it back and got me to harvest, (seeded crop of genetics I needed). The plants didn't seem to notice the difference.

Lost Coast Plant Therapy will cure it with one treatment. It’s safe through flower.
spray the entire plant, top and bottoms of leaves and all the stems. Also the top of the dirt.
turn off the light until the plant dries after spraying.

Simple high PH (9) water is enough to disrupt the cell wall and kill the visible part of the powdery mildew infection.
1 tablespoon of Potassium Bicarbonate or Sodium Bicarbonate (household baking soda) to 1 gallon of water.
Drench spray once a week seeding to week of harvest. It will control the PM used weekly.
Being just water it is the lowest risk agent possible.

Ive tried this baking soda method and it does work. Alternating between baking soda water and milk spray definitely controlled the pm. However, the pm did not go away until I defoliated the big bush and created better airflow.

Good luck

It causes an immune response in the plant, let a few days go by. It just dripped into the roots.
Stronger doses when plant has PM will help keep the response activated.

Yummy soybean oil in the buds. Like everything mentioned here there is no cure for PM all we can do is prevent it. Before you go off I have tried lost coast it does not cure Pm it barely held it at bay I have moved on to zero Tol an very much liking what i see when it comes to PM an its very clean no oils! I wash my outdoor bud in it with no ill effects to the crop.

in my 30+ years of growing I’ve never ever won the war against pm…it’s the absolute worst thing to happen in my garden
PM and Caterpillars are the only things I have to fight. Since I have to apply BT weekly for the caterpillars once flower starts in early Aug I know the PM isn't far behind and start with the high PH water for the PM. I have to stay on top of both weekly applications as even 1 missed week can have bad results down the line.
