May ’08 - If you notice a whitish-grey, fine dust on foliage, it is probably Powdery Mildew.  It is a fungus that develops in cool, humid conditions.  To treat, spray leaves with a mixture of ¼ teaspoon Lysol (in the brown bottle, found in Walmart) to a gallon of water plus 1 or 2 drops of dish liquid.  The dish liquid helps the spray stick to the leaves.  As a preventative, run a small fan to circulate air near growing area and use Lysol solution once a month.
