I’m on day 60ish with a White Widow auto planted in my vegetable garden. Feeding Sensi Bloom. Sprayed fairly regularly with neem (1x per week). Plenty of room around it for air flow but it has been 90+ with high humidity. I’ve been running a battery powered fan overnight and part of the day. I’m kinda freaked out that it has powdery mildew especially this close to the end of my first grow.
Can anyone confirm if it is pm?
If so, what is the best way to get rid of it then prevent it from coming back?

Yup, your right. That's powdery mildew. Spray your plants (especially the bottom sides of the leaves and branches) with milk diluted with ten times the amount in water. It's an old farmers trick, but it works every time. And it can be sprayed every week so as to prevent mildew ;)
Also keep the fan on her and maybe provide some sort of a shelter above her head. This will minimize the amount of water that can accumulate in the buds.
 
Thank you. I’ll give that a try. Cool to hit buds with it or no?
 
I wouldn't soak the buds in it (flavor wise), but it doesn't harm them ;)

Perfect. Do you know if the buds get infected easily/quickly or how to tell? Worried about losing my first plant so close to the finish line!
 
As fast as a leaf does, so spray the solution @ lights out.
 
Put some black plastic over the soil under the plant to prevent moisture from rising at night. If it is hot where you are use white plastic.
 
Thanks for the tip! Just got done wiping leafs with a paper towel and water. Sprayed with a milk/water solution. Trimmed quite a few infected leafs. A fan will run on them all night and through the morning. Not gonna lie, I’m kinda freaked out right now. Wish it was ready to harvest. Here are some 10x pics of the very top bud. Doesn’t look close enough to me, thoughts?

It looks like pruning, cleaning with water/paper towel and spraying with the milk solution had a positive impact. Fingers crossed, really want her to make the finish line!
