Powdery mildew is HERPES for plants. It will not go away. You may get it to hide for a while, but it is there.
So, if you are going to clone those plants or ever bring other plants into that grow area they will all be affected as well. I shut down for 6 months to make sure I got rid of PM after dealing with it for many months. All fans and walls and such should be disinfected as well.
And making the analogy to the wine industry is silly. The grapes are not getting infected, the plant material is. Fruit is still fine. With Herb, the infected part is the good part and it is just not worth it! I get PM outdoors on my Lilacs, cukes, and squash and they are all fine. Again, because the fruit is fine, the plant material is suffering.
I would get some seeds or some clones from a more trusted source.
Good luck

I used to have PM bad. I dusted the preflower plants with sulpher and have not seen it again in years. Preflower only though or you get sulpher tasting medicine. Just my 2 cents.

Alot of talk about Eagle 20 these days, too. It's a non-organic people are using during veg only...
I tried Serenade a couple weeks ago. It killed the mold but... also killed the 2-plants I used it on. It was my own fault... after researching using Serenade further... I discovered that most folks recommend adding 50% more water to the "ready mixed" Serenade. I figured I would hollar' so someone else doesn't make the same mistake. Since then... we sprayed the whole room real good before we moved more babies in. We waited a week and went over our 8x16' rom with a fine tooth comb... no sign of any more mold so... new babies are enjoying their new "mold-free" home.
