I planted from seeds and went away for a week and now I see powdery mildew all over my plants. They're pretty small but starting to fruit and there's only about 3 leaves on them so I don't think cutting them off would be an option.
I read about 50/50 milk to water ratio or baking soda/water mixture. Any success with this?

I was told that it was from watering above the ground (pouring water on leaves). Ive tried watering as close to the base as i can and it seems to have cured the white powdery coating that we get sometimes. Not sure if the same as yours, but could be worth trying.
And I think I figured out our beets. Never been able to grow them well, but apparently I was overwatering. The leaves look the same as when they get dried out (blistered and discoloured). But the difference is when you touch the leaves. If they're dry, water...if they're squishy/soggy then they're being overwatered. Already look 100x better than usual.
