Sulpr and Neem Oil Burn

[MayaRefugee]

Hey Guys,

I sprayed with neem oil for whitefly then sprayed lime sulphur the next day not knowing you aren't supposed to do it so close to having sprayed neem oil. The new growth tips are dying off, just wondering what I should do? The plants were being manifolded so I had removed all the lower growth tips, not sure if there's going to be new growth to compensate for the dying growth or what?

give them time to recover they should be fine. My question is why spray with sulphur/sulfur? Sulfur and water make sulfuric acid with time. I certainly use it in my soil for PH control. I have dusted tomatoes,

I used sulphur because I'd read about sulphur burners, I was at the hardware store and saw limed sulphur spray for whitefly so I bought it. I didn't read the label properly, it says don't use for 14 days after oil spraying - rookie mistake. This was a premixed sulphur spray - it seemed legit and the closest I was going to get to burning sulphur with the money I had to spare.It's been a good lesson at least, I'm really intrigued to see what a plant does when it loses it's growth tips.Thanks for your reply by the way, appreciate it.

Another note, the Mars Hydro LED I use warns against the use of sulfur, IDK why but it says remove the light before using sulfur.

After this I won't be using it again, I've read about people having issue with burning sulphur as well.
