Just curious if anyone has any info if I would be possibly killing some new clones (unrooted cuts were taken yesterday) if I were to dip them completely into a water soluble sulfur solution. Soaking the plugs for any hiding unwanteds. Thanks in advance team much appreciated!

Don’t do that. Soaking the plugs with sulfur will be a problem. Use new plugs if you’re worried about pests or pathogens. You can dip the cuts if you feel you need to.
Only problem is mystro that they were new plugs I just didnt have sulphur at the time to dunk the cuttings yesterday. Leaving me feeling that any pests that were on the cuts could be burrowed in the rooting plugs. Also taking more cuts in this case is harder than normal I’m trying to save a pheno that’s my friend got back after many years and a few “states” away. My question now is should I pull the clones from the current possibly infested plugs and put them into fresh ones with another cloning gel dip and finally the needed sulphur dip? Thanks mystro for your knowledge
You could pull the cuttings out and dip them in sulfur, diluted hydrogen peroxide or diluted iso alcohol. Reapply some rooting hormone and put them in fresh plugs if you know they are infected.
I use Tweetmint enzyme soap for dipping clones. Its very safe for plants because its basically just soap, but the enzymes in it are very effective at killing pests.
