Baking soda has been proved by many gardeners to be effective in treating powdery mildew. Mix 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 litre of water. Spray plants thoroughly, as the solution will only kill fungus that it comes into contact with. Milk spray is another effective home remedy. Then take cuttings before the plant starts flowering.

Would also say is washed over PM.. once dry will become a nightmare scenario. 

Defoil as a first step and clean out as many leaves with PM on as possible. Plants still needs some energy so you can't over do it either.

Over all... if you run into very heavy issues.. chop and dump makes most sense. If you live in a PM dangerous area.. you have to apply protection before it even starts, that is your best chance to get a harvest. 

In your case I would just defoil and spray. You are not in flower.. so give it a good blast with Copper Soap.. max dosage. Will clean the PM off the leaves.. once you go flower, can't use the harsh stuff anymore. And spray the plants top to bottom and under the leaves.
