alter the pH range around the infested areas into the range of 9+
can use: h2o2, bleach with chlorid, milk

i would use a sponge first with bleach 3-5%

Would domestos bleach work for powdery mildew aswell?

yes, it is a hardcore bleach, don t go directly be careful,

look the concentration on the bottle, and first go with the lighter solution.

chlorine evaporates without residue, but in high concantrate can cause harm to the plant
so be cautios and careful

How far into flowering are they? If it's still the first few weeks you can spray them with elemental sulfur solution, or run a sulfur vaporizer. There's also potassium bicarbonate, and oils like neem/mineral/sesame. If it's later in flower I would just spray with a peroxide solution, let it dry, then use some biological like serenade or actinovate.

If you are seeing patches on the leaves then there's a good chance the spores are already contaminating your room. Need to clean everything really well after this round. Even fans. Ozone generators and the aforementioned sulfur vaporizers are good ways to treat an entire room. You can also spray bleach.

Its very helpful to add a humidity gage in the tent to monitor the humidity early while the plants are growing. .
