Great advice from Linus. Paint the stem with Daconil and just keep feeding the plant if kins growing. Spray weekly disease control sprays until harvest time.

If anyone is questionable about the effectiveness of potassium bicarbonate for powdery mildew, I can vouch for it very effective. I mixed 4 tablespoons per gallon which was perhaps double the dose, there are different bits of advice on the net about this and I should have looked harder what the proper dose was, but anyways, it wiped it right out. Good stuff, wish it was cheaper and easier to get.

You do not have to fight pm in September, cause it only grew in the warmer weeks in August. Lern how to feed your plants more perfectly next year, so you can prevent pm in July and August.
