Powdery Mildew near end of flowering

For the last few days, powdery mildew is starting to form on the leaves and some of the buds. I've cut where mildew was, lowered humidity to around 45% and increased air circulation by focusing a fan on the plant but it is still forming. Anything else I should do?

mold works like this since it is airborne. it floats in the air and once it is there it is on everything. so no matter how much you cut there will be more, you need to clean and wipe down everything with bleach. as far as the plant you have a few options, make hash out of her as the water will wash the mold away and the thc that is left there is no mold. just the golden prize. another option is to was your weed with cold water until the rinse water is clear. now since you have a mold problem i would not point you to do this unless you can wash in a separate room and hang in a separate room with air flow and real low and cold temps to prevent the mold from ruining your harvest, the last opin is to clean everything including your scissors as well to reduce bring it back. now things are clean, ware gloves and cut away any and all mold you can find, you have to really look and sometimes you will find out there is more than meets the eye. man sorry to see this, i know how hard you work, keep your head up there is still a harvest just not what you expected

Uhm, maybe i'm missing something, but if you are referring to the whitish stuff on the small leaves just below your thumb: that is NOT mildew, those are trichomes. Trichomes develop during flower and are the whole reason you are growing the plant: trichomes contain THC, CBD, etc.
