There is only one solvent where sulfur can be dissolved. Its Carbon disulfid. CS2.m THF will not work.

Do an inverse addition - transfer the reaction mixture (via cannula) to a sealed vessel containing sulfur under a dry, inert atmosphere. This is assuming that your reaction mixture (without S) is homogeneous.

Depending on how sensitive your reaction actually is, you might be able to just quickly tip in the sulfur against a low positive pressure of dry, inert gas.

This is nonsense. If you ask a coherent question and you might get a useful answer.
