I know you cant spray Sulfur in close time proximity to any oil based sprays. Im prety sure monterey is not oil based but also not sure if sulfur can react negativly in anyway to it as I've seen some prety tragic outcomes of people spraying Sulfur before or after spraying other products on their garden.

Any knowledge is appreciated.

Using sulfur indoor is pretty hardcore. May I ask what are you trying to control by spraying sulfur indoors?

I just read something on here someone used oil sulphur if I find it I'll post and it burned down everything he had but a leaf left. Was using for mites and some other bug.

Why do you say its hard core for indoor? Everyone I know who has sprayed sulfur uses it indoors. I'm using it as preventative IPM against bugs aswell as mold/fungus.

Yeah that is the reason I am asking, I know it will completely fry plants if you use it with any oil based products. My question is if Monterey (spinosad) is in that category. I cant find any info on if it is oil based or not. It does not seem like it is by touch but I am hoping to find some onw who knows for sure.

No it kills everything. Pretty harsh to use as an ipm tho. Would only use something like that if all else failed. I wouldn't spray it for any reason other than that though.
The spinosad is more than enough and even then if there's no issues I duno why you'd be spraying your plants down.

Every one you know is spraying sulfur indoor as a IPM? There are so many safe things to use indoor for IPM I dont understand using sulfur but hey your smoking it not me.
I personally have never used sulfur and have gotten away with rarely spraying anything for the past 20 years as Im big on organic. Mostly just use spinosad once before flower for thrips and mosqueto dunks for fungus gnats. But Im looking to scale up if I get my rec license and everyone I talk to is saying I should do more for IPM if im going to have 40-60 lights. I was under the impression that sulfur was on the organic side and not that toxic especially if used only in veg.

I was also told to do regallia and venerate as an IPM.

Ya seems quite overkill to me too. Sulphur would be a last resort kind of thing imo.
What would you recomend for an IPM? As said above I rarely spray usually spinosad before flower. Im all organic and awaiting a rec license so I am just trying to be more preventitive so I dont have any issues blow up at larger scale. I was also looking into regallia and venerate

Citric acid
Neem oil
Isopropyl alcohol
As stated above. Keep your rooms clean and you don't need a crazy ipm. I rarely spray anything.

Organic doesn't mean safe. It only means you find it in nature. The worst toxins are not man made but rather occur in various plants and fungi. Botulinumtoxin (botox from mold), tetrodotoxin (puffer fish) ciguatoxin (found in tropical fish but made by algea) etc.

Im aware of what organic means. And to say that the worst toxins are organic is a hot take for sure. Obviously their are terrible organic compounds but I promise you I will not be giving my plants botox or spraying puffer fish extract on them.

Can we re-up this question please. I want to use Spinosad in between my Regular use of Micronized Sulfur. I guess the question is, is Bonide Spinosad an Oil Based Formula?
