Has anyone tried it? Quail pro has 6oz bottle for 37$ On Amazon. Little less dicambi but the price difference is is making me want to try. Just wondering if anyone had a review?
Thanks in advance.

Celsius:

Thiencarbazone-methyl (CAS Number 317815-83-1) ..........................................8.7%
Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium (CAS Number 144550-36-7)...................................1.9%
Dicamba (CAS Number 1918-00-9)...................................................................57.4%

Fahrenheit:

Potassium salt of Dicamba: ............................................................................ 33.00%
Metsulfuron-methyl: ........................................................................................ 5.00%

I have heard Fahrenheit is the Celsius knockoff, but I honestly am not sure if they will accomplish the same thing since Fahrenheit has MSM. I would have to research the differences between MSM and Thiencarbazone-methyl/Iodosulfron-methyl first I suppose.

I suspect it may be harder on the grass than Celsius

Thiencarbazone is what makes Celsius effective on grassy weeds. Iodosulfuron is also more effective on grassy weeds. By itself, Metsulfuron is mostly a broadleaf herbicide. There is some stunting of Crabgrass and it is is hard on cool season grasses, but nowhere near the same effect as the Iodosulfuron-Thiencarbazone. I use Celsius for grassy weeds and Metsulfuron for broadleaves.

Thanks dude. Was hoping you would chime in.

I too was just looking at this product because it is so much cheaper than Celsius and it is marketed as a substitute. I also thought it was strange how different the AI's are but maybe the mode of actions are similar? Who knows, but I did read this on the label for Fahrenheit - "Do not apply to turfgrass under stress due to high temperatures (above 85°F)." To me, that's the whole point of Celcius - no temperature limit so it works spring, summer, fall. No way I could use Fahrenheit from June-Aug, according to the label. Better to find someone to split a Celcius bottle with.

At average costs I saw online....
If applied at max rate/M/Yr:
Celsius = $2.10/M
Fahrenheit = $1.55/M

Since I will be applying at the max rate in split apps to combat Virginia Buttonweed the cost difference for my 30k ft2 is not really a factor.
Not being able to apply Fahrenheit at 85deg+ is a non-starter in South Texas (hell it was almost 85 this weekend) and it's not labeled for Doveweed which has joined forces with the VB and Lespedeza to form a weed axis of evil.
