Thats powdery mildew...
Do a search for it here and you might find a solution...
I've heard serenade works.
Personally I only had a touch of it, I cut off the infected leaves b4 it really got started but you don't want to smoke anything with that on it...
There's stuff you can buy at a hydro shop to fix the problem but I think your humidity might be high...
Don't let it get too bad though it will take over everything...

yes that is powdery mildew.
It will thrive in really humid conditions. Your vegg room will do best in a humid environment but if you are suffering from mildew then I would lower it below 50% till it dissapears. It would help to wipe your whole room down and air it out to get rid of any mold spores that are about at the minute.
Try to keep your leaves dry, do not mist them.

Neem oil is suppose to keep it under control, which it does wonderfully. I noticed it killed it on the leaves to. I just sprayed mine with neem oil once so far and i haven't seen it on any of my plants for a couple weeks now. Ive also tried baking soda mixed with water and sprayed on, you can do the same with milk. The baking soda fucks up the leaves though. Ive found the neem oil to work the best so far. Heres some recipes from a heads magazine. Haven't tried em all though so be careful you don't fuck up your plants.

Baking Soda: (doesn't say how much water to mix with)
-Mix about 1/2 tsp. of baking soda,
-A few drops of dish soap (wetting agent)
-Many recipes call for a tsp of vegetable oil. Shake it up and spray the plants. The baking soda leaves an alkaline residue on the leaves and needs to be washed off afterwards.
Milk:
-Mix at a ratio of 1:8 or 1:4 with water
-Skim milk is fine
-Spray every 4 days to a week depending on the ratio. Milk contains potassium phosphate, which helps to boost a plants immune system and of course, calcium. It helps kill or control many common fungi including powdery mildew and Botrytis, and also controls the spread of black spot and rust.
Neem Oil:
-Mix 1 tsp per liter of water
-Water should be luke warm or it will clog your sprayer
-Spray every week or so depending on how strong you mix it. Neem Oil comes from pressed indian neem tree nuts. It is known to kill mildew by basically choking it and collapsing cell walls. Many growers also use it as effective control of spider mites and say it makes plants a dark healthy looking, waxy green.
Sulfur:
-Mix many commercially available choices
-Follow ratios on package
-Must leave 7-14 days between sprays
Sulfur is one of the preferred methods of many growers, but is only effective if applied before symptoms can be seen. It is used more as a preventative treatment.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
-Mix 3 tablespoons of apple cider to 1gal of water
-Spray in the morning for best results. Apple cider vinegar is supposed to be able to treat mildew, leaf spot, and scab, but ive never tried it so i can't speak for its effectiveness.
Corn and Garlic Spray:
-Mix corn leaves
-Clematis leaves
-Paper-like garlic leaves
-Water
-Mix it up in a blender and let it soak for an hr
-Strain and spray. Part of the reason for garlics effectiveness is its high sulfur content. Garlic is also good for spider mite control.
Horseradish:
-Mix 1 cup of roots in food processor
-16 ounces of water
-Let is soak for 24 hrs
-Strain and spray. Horseradish has a large amount of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin c. This also helps with minor corrections in deficiencies of these micronutrients, which helps the plants immune system.
Chamomile:
-Mix 2 cups of boiling water
-1/4 cup of chamomile blossoms
-Steep until cool
-Strain and spray
This concoction should be used for that white fuzzy crap that grows on soil if it stays too moist. Chamomile also contains calcium and potash but it has sulfur too. This likely what gives it its fungus fighting powers.
