Any tips for using wettable sulphur for PM in veg?

So today I picked up some wettable sulphur, heard it was quite a good product for keeping PM inactive / at bay. Any tips or advice before I spray during lights out tonight?
(Edit: I’ve read about it quite a bit but got a few different ratios or other ingredients added, hoping to see what’s works best for others and avoid possibly burning my foliage)

Some info:
I’ve used everything I can think of before this, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, H2o2, tea tree oil etc, multiple times, mixing it up to try and knock it out over the last 4 weeks, But still finding tiny patches on newer fan leaves.
Made sure my environment is as perfect as it can be, Rh no more than 40%, looaads of airflow, AC unit, dehumidifiers always running, feeding silica to strengthen them as well as compost tea.

Everything is dialled in, just want to flip to flower as soon as I can, and have PM held off long enough to finish the buds and give the whole room a “surgeons room” cleaning.
Thanks for reading or dropping some knowledge!

Wettable sulphur is prob the only thing that will actually get rid of pm. Just note that the leaves will have powder all over them and it looks like pm kinda but it works . I'll check in a bit but I think it was 1tblspn per gallon? Grab a UV ozone bulb and run it in the tent when the plants gone. Then run it in the room the tents in.

If the plant has pm now and you haven't flipped.....if it were me...I'd cut it clean like a madman and start over. Pm in flower is no fun. It can significantly affect the yield and quality of your crop...and you might end up tossing the whole thing anyways if it gets bad.
If you can't remedy it now then don't flip it
Not to mention the longer you let pm grow the more millions of spores are now everywhere in your area.
Are you positive you have pm? Looking at your plants I can't see anything, or what I do see doesn't look like pm. Can you share a pic of what you believe to be infected?

I’ll look into the bulb you mentioned and pick one up.

I’ve been debating cutting the cord and lettin them go like you said, last thing I want is mildew or botrytis in flower. This is my last try at beating it, but if it comes back in flower I’ll just chuck em or (if it’s late enough in flower) H2o2 wash and put it towards hash making.

I hate to say I’m 100% positive it’s PM, these 2 were “gifted” to me, learned super fast why that was.. also learned never accept “gifts” of plants or product.. kicking myself in the ass pretty hard over this one.. but need to be honest.

I’ve included photos below of the before and after treatment I’ve done over the past 4 weeks:
Pic 1-4: the before shots, with thrips and PM
Pic 5-6: after treatment and a little lovin.
Pic 7-9: PM came back last week

I split them into separate tents after that (in the quarantine zone) my idea was this allows better airflow for each one, and if one developed it again, the other won’t be as exposed to it.

Last night I sprayed 1Tbsp to 1L of water and drenched under, over the foliage as well as the stalks. PM is a nightmare.. hoping this nukes it

Finally got to checking them after last nights spray, they seem happy and coated. Hoping I don’t get any burns or damage. This is a new venture for me so doing as much reading as I can

I’m thinking of waiting around 6-8 days before spraying down again, to make sure the new growth gets hit too.
Fingers crossed I can flip them soon!

Forgot to mention: strains are Wedding Cake (large) and God Bud (small)
