from what ive seen aslong as youre in the 60 ppm range -100 ppm you are good ...... mileage may vary plant to plant
A lot of store bought "CS" sprays, are reported to have much much higher ppm than needed, but well made cs can work very well at as low as 15ppm if applied often enough (a few times a day).
The benefit of using low ppm cs is that you can apply it multiple times, which doses the same amount of CS, but in a more uniform, and less stressful manner. You can coat the entire plant with homemade cs without ay burning, but some store bought stuff will ruin any leaves it comes in contact with.
did some reading yesterday to answer my questions.
- I think I shouldn't have used a clone or even attempted to clone an auto.
- I think you shouldn't smoke the misted bud.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria
Argyria happens usually from long term exposure to silver compounds. I really don't think one bud is going to do it.
There are many people who have been ingesting colloidal silver as a mineral supplement for years without any effect. Taking excessive amounts of CS will make the skin turn blue over time, really large amounts can affect the lens of the eye. One bud just ain't enough for Argyria. Besides the plant and time has probably already processed the compound and there is really only a negligible amount left.
There are dangers other than argyria, when smoking treated bud. The bud has on/in it, millions of silver particles. You are inhaling heating these up, and then inhaling them.
Some people make edibles out of the buds from a plant in which only 1-2 branches were treated, because ingesting the cs would be similar to drinking it, whereas smoking it isn't. However, they don't use the actual treated buds themselves. A lot of people won't smoke anything off of a plant that was sprayed anywhere.
