Terrible leaf clawing after spraying PureCrop1

I've used PureCrop1 on flowering plants and had no issue. There was a little bit of leaf droop for a few hours but they looked great afterward.

Now I sprayed it on two veg plants on two days and they look terrible. I had dunked these plants in a sulfur solution every 3 days for about 2 weeks to kill russet mites. I thought the first plant had the bad reaction because of the PureCrop1 hitting the leftover sulfur so for the second plant, I soaked it with a light 1/4 strength foliar to knock off the dried sulfur. I let that dry then hit it with PureCrop1. They both look terrible.

A friend of mine bought some recently and he is having the same issue with the leaves curling down so now I dont think the sulfur is related.

We both sprayed at 2 oz per gallon. Last photo is of the lower fan leaves which actually look fine. Any help is really appreciated.

Forgot to mention these are in coco and were transplanted a day or two before spraying. All other transplants from that day look fine. I see roots in the bottom so everything seems fine down there. I thought maybe I put them under the light too quickly. I let them dry off for a few hours. Maybe 3 or 4. Should I spray the shit out of them with a light strength foliar and try to get this oil off the leaves?

You use an oil based product on flowering plants?

If you want to get rid of mites it doesn't take 2 weeks of spraying. Just hit them with some citric acid. 2.5 tsp citric acid per quart of water kills them dead on contact. That PureCrop is just vegetable oil and water and it does have citric acid in it. When you use what you have up save yourself some money and get some citric acid and a $2 bottle of canola oil and mix up your own stuff. I can't believe how much they charge for a bottle of soybean and corn oil mixed with water.

And the directions for PureCrop call for a dilution of 128:1 which would be 1 ounce per gallon not 2.

I sprayed them in week 3 of flower and they are in week 8 now, would you recommend trashing them?

Wow I just now clicked that red notification in the right corner. Didn't realize anybody every responded to my last post about russets and it was also you. So thank you for that. I believe the sulfur dunks also worked since I am removing a few leaves every day and have not seen a single thing moving on the leaves using the scope. But I was paranoid about the leaves still looking taco'd or canoe'd in the petiole area. I probably could have let them grow out of it.

Damn and I had an unopened 5 lb bag of citric acid this whole time...

The dilution rate does say 64:1 for the first 3-4 days until problems have been resolved then to use 128:1 once a week from there.
Not arguing with you, just letting you know what I'm reading off my bottle. I really appreciate your help and taking the time to educate me.

Since I can't find any bugs but the leaves still look russet damaged would you recommend waiting a week or two to see if the leaves start to come out normal or should I spray them with citric acid in case I missed any?

If you think you got rid of the bugs I would be hesitant to continue spraying if you're having issues with leaf damage. But from those pictures I don't see any bug symptoms or anything that was caused by spraying. Are you sure the spray caused the leaf curling and not a fertilization or pH issue? That looks like coco you're growing in.

I was just going by the label I found online when I said 128:1 dilution.

I'm almost positive its the purecrop1 because there are 8 plants transplanted together and fed the same and I only sprayed 2. Those 2 are the ones with the leaf clawing down, the others don't have it at all. And it started a few hours after the spray and got worse. I think I'll just try a very low ppm (200ish) foliar to blast any purecrop1 residue off the leaves...does that make any sense?

They were only transplanted 2 days ago into 3 gallon pots and I can already see a root at the bottom so I think its all healthy down there. Hah shit I am so confused.
