The big thing is having a really good sprayer with wand and tiny droplets. Those cheap pump sprayers from HD suck, and waste a lot of spray, and it gets all over you. The toxicity of this shit is off the charts. My buddy has just discovered these, and has been texting me all night. I sent him here, hence my posts.
please give your recomended droplet size and preferred brand of sprayer and set up.
i know of some people using those fogmasters.

The foggers are supposed to be great but expensive.
Where do I get the hazmat/ respirator?
More important, how do I bath dogs in sulpher?
Ones skin has been fucked up for about a month.
Still can't Positively identify which of the 3 it is.
I'm seeing a lot of shit on the affected leaves under 65X.

You can get that stuff in HD. Respirators that painters wear. You mainly need good long gloves like the ones xxxstr8edxxx posted. Can get them in HD also. Keep your skin and most importantly eyes covered with goggles. Can get all that stuff in HD. Dogs in the house not a good idea, as they spread all that stuff around. Dog may have mange. Need vet for that, or go to pet store and ask questions if can't afford vet. They have sulfur baths for dogs. I'm out. Gotta go to bed. Get Avid ASAP. Forbid if possible.

Pylon bombs are nice to have in the arsenal, fire in the hole!

Atomizers are really a must when using most of these chems, and don't forget to add indicate 5.

Big outdoor ops SHOULD take this very seriously as you may not notice until nearing the end of season but that's exactly when they're most destructive.

The leaf curl indicates broad or cyclamen mites. At this stage of flower, you cannot use chemicals. Must use heat treatment, and must get to 120F. 110 won't do it. Has to be 120. Only other thing you can use in flower is OGBiowar, but probably too late for that. In veg plants, you can use heat treatment, or chems. I prefer heat treatment, as no spraying involved, no toxins. Easy once you get proper heat source and get it dialed in. You can buy these outdoor halide lights @ HD that do a good job of putting heat out. Turn heat on in house, leave lights on, fans off. Also, space heaters, but they generally need the thermistor bypassed as it keeps the temperature from going past a certain point. Go to Broad mite thread, "thread tools", "search this thread", "advanced search", type in "thermistor".

Nowadays, you have to scope your plants daily if you live in California or Colorado. You can't wait until the damage is visible. A microscope is critical in today's world of cannabis. Standard operating procedure=scope daily. Don't let these things gain a foothold, as the damage occurs immediately from the toxins. Always keep aspirin in your rez. Aloe works also.
