I think a key mentioned here that worked for me this year is to get a fungicide onto the plants very quickly after the bleach spray. The bleach spray may work to kill on contact (I think it does) but, if your conditions favorable to mold growth still exist, it will be back fast, especially if you didn't get every bit of it knocked out. What worked for me was sprayed bleach one night just before sunset on a calm dry night, sprayed with Copper the next morning at first light. Removed and threw away all leaves that died after the bleach spray. Its always disheartening to see a lot of leaves die, but, when the remaining leave and new leaves are super healthy and flowering, you soon forget the devastation. Also, if you haven't been vigilant in pruning and live in a high pressure area with lots of humidity and rain, the mold is gonna prune for you by killing a lot of leaves. Good luck.
