 White powder mold. Trash Plant?

I have a Tangerine Dream plant that has been in flower for 2 weeks. I noticed from when I brought it home that it might have white powder on the leaves but it was so small it was hard to tell... But now that it has gotten bigger from stretching in flowering, there is white powder all over the leaves! I have a flowering chamber with other plants inside and I know that it has already affected on of my other plants that has been flowering for 2 weeks.
Literally almost every leaf on my Tangerine plant looks like the picture shown below. My big question is should i just destroy and trash the plant? I know its a female so thats not a question... I have a perpetual setup so I veg 2 clones for 3-4 weeks then each time when the 3-4 weeks is up I throw them into the flowering chamber. So there is still time between harvests but its cut down some.
I'm not really trying to make hash out of it because I dont even know what I would throw in from that plant, it is literally just pistils.
TL;DR - Perpetual grow. Plant flowering for 2 weeks, COVERED IN WHITE POWDER.
HELP!!
Should I destroy it?????

You've already infected your entire space. Time to get a sulfur burner and treat your grow space

Nope, you should get yourself a sulfur burner, and take care of the problem.
Wipe all visible mold off though, with a h202 solution before you burn the sulfur.

I don't think I can afford a sulfur burner. They look t be expensive around the 100 dollar range which I don't want to spend. I also am not comprehending the DIY for a sulfur burner,
I am considering the whole milk solution, spraying down all the plants. I'd rub the mold off with peroxide and wipe the walls of the tent with peroxide as well. Will that work?

People seem to use different things like rice cookers, fry daddys, etc as an easy DIY replacement, but it's not something I looked into too deeply
But at least it gives you a place to start. Just google "DIY sulfur burner"

I have googled the DIY sulfur burner and the part when it comes to actually doing a little wiring and what not, I'm not very good at and could easily shock myself.
It's not totally out of the question, I just don't know yet.

if you actually look around a bit you can find people just using things like rice cookers and crock pots. No wiring involved, unless you consider plugging something in "wiring"
Again, not sure how well it will work for you, as I have never personally tried it. But you can find many forum posts on the matter

It's just a matter of heating the sulpher to a certain temp. Not rocket science.

Interesting thread.
Does "PM" refer to "powder mildew"?
No, I looked it up....clearly it does.
I appreciate the info. I am in a dry area (So Cali) but believe
that humidity may become more of a problem when my plants begin to
fill my tent.
Take care,
JD

So I accidentally burned sulfur for 6 hours instead of 4 and at the beginning of the very last hour the lights had came on. Should I be worried that I poisoned my plants since the lights came on after hours of burning? I'm really scared I poisoned my crop  help!! All the new growth looks either twisted or droopy now

I've never had to burn sulfur before. They could just be stressed. I'd rinse em off with distilled water and let em go.

I may be wrong here, but I think Burning Sulfur only suppresses the development of the mold, and doesn't actually kill it. I'm not sure you can actually do the later short of a systemic treatment

I thought it killed it. I could be wrong. Would need to go back to my texts for that one. Sulfur is used to kill a wide variety of fungus.
