here are my questions, +rep for an answer(s)


1. Does this work well on powdery mildew(will it kill the stuff), is it worth the $120 i will spend?
yes they work well

2. Once the sulfur does its job, will i still have to burn/vaporizer to keep it from coming back?, assuming the conditions are better(below 40%humidity)
you should reburn a week or ten days latter then again with a empty room to make sure there are no more spores hanging around
3. How many weeks into flowering can i burn/vaporize?
I would not recommend burning past 4 weeks on a 8 week flower cycle
4. Can i put a mother plant(and maybe clones) with a mild case of powdery mildew in the room im going to be sulfur burning/vaporizing for the just 2hr(dark?) period its going to be on for a couple weeks?
sure i dont see why not
thx in advance

remember to turnoff exhaust and fans when burning then fully ventalate half hour after burn leaving acouple hours befor lights come back on

mine comes on every dark cycle for 15 mins. the exhust is off while the burner isd on. i use 2 timers. i unplug the burner about 2 weeks before harvest.

i have not had any PM in the last 2 years.

what are the cons of using a burner?

I burn sulfur every crop. Your plant can have alot of mold on it and if you burn the sulfur the right way it will get rid off all the mold. I put my plants in a walk in closet when there in the one gallon pots and burn sulfur for a week 3 hours a day. turn your exhaust fan off and after you are done burning wait an hour or 2 then turn your exhaust fan back on . I have burned sulfur in the last week of flowering before and everything was fine. make sure you put a towel under the door of your grow room and make sure if you have a carbon monoxide alarm you disable it cause it will go off and its much louder than a smoke alarm.

also one thing I picked up from roll it up is using milk and water along with the sulfur. I had 3 plants that I neglected in a closet cause I have 5 1,000s running in my main room. the 3 plants had mold all over them bad. I wiped the leaves off 1 time with a soft sponge soaked with milk and water then burned for a week. those 3 plants looked healthy no trace of mold after and it didnt come back

do you want to leave circulating fans on while burning?
