The thing with growing is we cant always toss out a crop. Like raising teenage kids something will always go wrong. what ur looking at in this pics isnt mildew...anything i had done run off. it'll be a week b4 anything shows up. also my daughters room is right next to it and she's allergic to the mold, her eyes swell and she hacks and sneezes, which indicates it couldnt be that bad...i dont think its mold ur looking at.

Neem oil will only help to prevent mold, it will not get rid of it. That really bites man, wish I had a cure for you.

Ok time for class to begin , Powdery Mildew is commonly attacked by organic gardeners with milk , yes milk but most prefer Non pasteurized farm milk as it is more natural . The milk needs sunshine to be most effective and I do not recommend doing this to an indoor grow .
The peroxide shit Cervantes came up with is not fool proof and in the end I still would not touch that bud , even with a bath and rinse in peroxide solution . The spores are all over your grow and beefing up the fans now will only make things worse than they already are . Sad to say as mentioned it is the end of the road for these rowdy teens and you will adopt more in time , crops are thrown out everyday . I toss more bud every year than most people can smoke due to Bud rot and the mold it harbors . Heavy yielders tend to have this downfall !
In your case it is cool temps and high humidity along with a lack of proper air circulation that brought it on in the first place , Pm thrives when there is a drastic temp swing and actually is more predominant with cooler temps .

Very interersing thread this. In all honesty all I can see is very blurry pics, not sure I can see what is wrong, maybe it is milk on the lens. 
The top leaves do look like they are getting heat damage though, no use treating the problem without treating the source. One word.... airflow

one thing i have learned is that PM is a virus that actually attacks the plant from the root zone upward. when your leaves have powdery mildew on them it means your ENTIRE plant is affected. its not just on the surface.

alkaline water, pm wash, neem... can suppress the pm on the surface, but it's not going to make it go away (i thought it was supposed to be un-pasturized milk for one of the bacteria in it idk tho). if you have more than 3-4 weeks to go i would use myclobutanil (or another systemic fungicide that is approved for use in food crops within 2 weeks or less of harvest). if your closer than 3 weeks tho i would toss it and sterilize everything. also since you now have pm now, i would recomend using the systemic on everything you bring into your grow from now on. gl

The ONLY way to kill the PM is systemicly.....I use Eagle 20EW as a preplant dip to ensure I never get it...and never had...EVERYTHING else will only cure the symptoms(coating on leaves)....at this point NOTHING WILL CURE IT...too far into flower for a systemic cure to work its way out of the plant....and you have spores everywhere fans...fan blades....ducting...lights...whatever is in the growing area needs to be bleached and fans cleaned or replaced....myself...I wouldn't finish it....I'd scrap it...and completely sanitize the grow area....then maybe with care and time youll look like this...healthy with n PM...BUGS...no purple stems....just happy plants....good luck!

Wrong systematic feeding will not.completly.rid ur plant of pm once ur plant has pm it has pm nothing u can do to kill it.......u can use systematic approach and get ur humidity and temps under control or treat foliar to keep it.at bay and not show itself but just because its not showing itself doesn't mean its gone
