Anyone have experience using a sulfur burner, for prevention of gray mold. :joint:

I've used mine for powdery mildew, and it's the only thing that will completely rid my grow of that stuff.

I run mine during dark hours for 3-4 hours, and the powdery mildew is dead.

I'm planning on running it for 15 min. 5x7x8 Do you think I should run it longer?

Bought it today.

No more singing the botrytis blues.

Thank for answering, I wasn't holding my breath anyone would answer .

I guess it depends on where you position the sulfur cup. I have mine suspended above and not touching the heating element. That way, it takes at least 30 minutes for the sulfur to melt, and start to fill the air.

I don't really know, I stay out of there when it's on, I just leave it for 3-4 hours, and make sure the cup doesn't go empty. Also, an oven glove is a handy thing.

Thanks, I'll figure it out from here, a little experimentation will get it. Got the basic guidelines.:peace:

FIY if you buy one at a store, open it up. Mine had a damaged heating element. Shake it like a light bulb and listen.

I know this post is very old..... but I've heard that if you've sprayed your plants with Neem Oil in the past week, and then toss in a sulfur burner, that it will burn your plants. Is that true??
