Best fogger or atomizer to spray a large garden

We sprayed up until week 6 of flower and saw no noticeable sulphur, we did spray down every other day with knf maintenance solution to finish out the flower, leaving the last week (9 or 10) dry.
We did not extract anything so it may show up in concentrates but im guessing it wont.

We got the russet mites really bad, the sulphur was the only thing that knock them off. They were invulnerable to our usual ipm regimen (plant therapy).

Friendly notice, always quarantine incoming cuts no matter how much u trust the other grower, but honestly wasnt his fault those little bastards were immune to our usual ipm and we ipm spray every 3 days. Id spray down and dunk ur plants in full strength sulphur (3 applications, every other day) if there in veg and new cuttings then quarantine and dont spray oil based foliar for 2 weeks

We sprayed 1/10 strength every other day for 2 weeks. From week 4 to week 6 of flower

@square_root_pharms I usually dunk plants in veg. That’s the easiest and best coverage I’ve found. Mix up an 35 gal drum and get to dunking. Coats everywhere, I usually do twice in veg second time right before flip. Hard getting 10 gal pots with 5ft trees but def worth it. Don’t need to worry usually about bugs or pm after that as long as you keep a clean (gotta shower in) work space.

When I’m doing sulfur sprays in flower (I only do this if there is a SERIOUS issue) I spray the sulfur then 30 minutes later come in and spread the room down with water and a surfactant like cocowet to rinse it all off

Works well. I’ve extracted this material and had no noticeable sulfur residual in the extracts

These are bad ass! I use them on our small tree farm, I can kill aphids 20 ft up!

I love it too. Can spray 800sqft greenhouse in 20 min. Used it on my big permitted outdoor grows and sprayed 8000 sq ft of dense canopy in a couple hours lol.

A little bit of exhaust in the greenhouse is no biggy.

Mine have huge fans that change the air out every 60 seconds. Run on a temp/ humidity switch

Alright this fogger thread has me thinking…
I’ve used oil diffusers to bomb a small tent with different oils etc to keep pests away. And I’ve used hand pump sprayers for ipm. But what about an ultrasonic humidifier? If someone has a small space to cover and is already using one of these humidifiers… could you add nutrients and/or ipm products to the ultrasonic humidifier?

Another question is we can’t spray with lights on because it will burn leaves… but a humidifier can coat leaves and they are fine with lights on? Is it only large droplets that cause issues?

Its late and maybe brain no worky… but I’m dreaming of an ultrasonic humidifier foliar ipm lazy p.o.s. tek

This is the fogger/prayer I use and it seems to work great for me-

Make sure you run hot water through it after spraying with oils or it will break faster. Keep the receipt and the box and buy and corporate stores and they usually swap with no questions if they break

These are great for smaller spaces. I have a pair going on 2 years of use with no issues.

If you use sulfur and oils keep one sprayer for each. Oils build up in these of not sprayed out with hot water after use which is a pain to do so you may be cross contaminating your sprays and cause burning.

This has been working great for me thus far. I have it attached To a 30gal trash bin sub leader pump + hose.
