Powdery mildew on clones

Hi everyone, I just got some clones yesterday. They are in a clone dome and I noticed one had powdery mildew. I tossed it but am wondering what I can do to the rest of them so they won't get it too. They are only a few days old and not well rooted yet so I dont want to do anything that will kill them. Can I dip them in neem oil when they are this young? Thanks

You got a couple options , first you should get a heating mat to keep the temperature always at the same levels ... the guy u got the clones from probably
had difficulties keeping hes night temps close enough to hes day temps... That causes the plant to swet , if you got a kush strain that wont help either ...
There's a product u can buy at mostly any hydro shops , its called PM ( powder mildew ) wash ! Its a 15-25$ bottle All ready diluted and ready to use just put in a
spray bottle and spray every 2-3 days , that stuff basically stops the PM adding up . IF you have roots all ready developed u may take off the humidity dome for that will cause humidity lvls to be way to high and cause a good atmosphere for PM to grow.. If either 3 of does options don't work and you still have PM in a week or 2 ...
Then there is another product they sell in hydro shops .. this one is 35$ U have to mix in 15-20 mls per Gallon of water ... I forgot the name of it but this one eats mold lol its suposed to be REALLLY effective... IM trying it out this week.... And don't forget this ! My guy at the shop said its verrrrry important to always spray the plants 2 hours before lights and then you may pull off infected leafs ... other wise the PM dust can float and land on other cleans leafs ... GOOD luck ! MSG me if ever the PM wash dont work ! although it should at that stage

A light spray of 1 part milk to 9 parts water will
rid the PM with no ill effects to the clones.
This method could be used all the way up to harvest.
Big agricultural grows use this method.

Milk/baking soda doesn't work sorry bud ... me and allot of guys i know wont vouch for that option... there's stuff out there made specially for that and don't cost any thing... u can probably buy a anti-mold product at a home depot gardening section

Wrong info alert! Very very wrong. Milk does work perfect no doubt!
This I have done several times and it worked 100% and not a single ill effect.
The PM never returns such as is if baking soda is used.

Yur all missing the real problem. Yur best bet is to trash them and start over now while yur not far along. If all the clones came from the same place/mom then Yu will be fighting PM for the rest of the grow. Good luck preventin PM from growing in the middle of buds and even more luck smokin/selling those buds.
IMO and as far as i kno, yu cant RID the plant of PM. It lives in the plant. It will pop up whenver and wherever it can and spores will spread. Before it gets out of hand, scrap them, clean everything, and get some good reliable clones from someone who has a clean set up and fresh clones. Trust me. DO NOT BUY SHIT THAT CLAIMS TO CURE OR RID YU OF POWDERY MILDEW!!! Why invest in crap to spray on yur plants for the duration of yur grow? Not to mention any clones takin will have PM. An eventually yur grow room will be riddled wit spores so any new plants introduced will be at risk.
Scrap, clean, start again.
