First Grow - worried about mold - Advice needed

Good Day

I am a first time grower. I have plants that were started inside and moved outside. I think I have around 3 weeks left before harvest. Yesterday I removed some small fan leaves that had powdery mildew on them. We are in the time of the year where the days are getting shorter and the mornings are wet with dew. We also have 3 or 4 rainy days in the forecast where we will have little sun. I can tarp over the top of the garden (large box garden) to keep the plants from constantly being wet from rain but it will still be high humidity and little sun or wind to dry them. I’m wondering if I should thin the fan leaves out, or use a fungicide, or just remove any leaves that have mildew. Are there other things I should be doing or watching for. I just purchased a digital microscope but I’m not really sure how to use it to detect mold. At this point I don’t think I have any issues with the buds but I’m not sure what all to do over the next few weeks before harvest?

I’m not an outdoor grower so not really familiar with making this work. However, keeping dry and air moving over plants will give you best bet. You can also diluted peroxide solution to kill wpm if need be.

G’day @HappyCaamper have you got any photos of your girl how dense is she does she get good air flow. If you gonna cover up make sure you got plenty of room between plant and cover and try putting a fan on her to keep air flow up.
