Looks pretty normal. It might turn yellow, without an air stone, but it should still work for the plants. How long has it been running? Have you cleaned the electrodes yet?Here's mine going now. Does it look pretty normal?
I don't currently have an air stone. I'm going to check the PPM........

try and get them as close together as possible without touching ... after the water gets a bit of color to it it really starts to speed upHere's mine going now. Does it look pretty normal?

What are we looking for? 25-30??

i think your amps are too high ........ you want around 3-5 volts but milliamps like a cell phone charger ..... you can use anything really but the less amps you have the smaller the particles ....... what amps is the pack at ?View attachment 3395532
So after adjusting these from 2" apart to 1/2" apart and after 5 hrs 30 mins, I had a reading of 16 ppm.
So is the idea to get the silver just far enough to not create the above flakes? The jar is turned in this picture making it look like the two wires are touching in the middle. They are not.

You actually don't want the wires that close. You want them between 1-4" apart. And the water shouldn't be cloudy when finished, because all of those visible particles are larger, and don't work as well on permeating the plant cells. Finished colloidal silver should look identical to water.View attachment 3395532

There has been a fair amount of controversy in the public literature concerning the appearance of the "yellow" color. A lot of well meaning people have told me that "yellow is bad", "silver isn't yellow", "yellow is sulfur contamination", "yellow is iron contamination", and lots of other things. I finally found what I believe to be the answer to this question in a book titled Practical Colloid Chemistry, published in London in 1926. In the section on the "Colours of Colloidal Metals", sub-section on the "Polychromism of silver solutions" on page 69, I found the following statements: "The continuous change in colour from yellow to blue corresponds to a change in the absorption maximum of the shorter to longer wave-lengths with a decreasing degree of dispersion. This is a general phenomenon in colloid chemistry illustrating the relation between colour and degree of dispersion." This section goes on to describe the colors that show up in a wide variety of colloidal metal solutions. Interestingly, they ALL have a yellow phase.
An excellent indicator of the quality of colloidal silver is the color. As the size of each silver particle gets larger, the color of the solution ranges from clear to yellow to red to brown to gray and black.
the stuff i made is a little cloudy but not as bad as it looks in the pic ..... it has a cob led tactical under mount flash light shining through it is why its lit up like it isYou actually don't want the wires that close.

The goal with making your own cs, is to do it slowly, with lowish power, to create the tiniest particles possible. Your cs shouldn't have a bunch of "debris" settling to the bottom of the jar, even after sitting for several weeks.
CS goes from Clear->Amber(but still not cloudy)->Murky Grey based on how big the particles are.
The silver that you can see with the naked eye, is most likely just going to sit on your plant's surface, and possibly suffocate it as it builds up.
The fuk if i know..I was sleep textin.the fuck did i just read
Yea I was the Tech .DC was the weed head ...foh..on real note ..NNO excuse ..I was fukedup texting that from a lil. Ass phone.meds kicked in.#FUKCANCER..clownon...Don't know but you have something in common. Is that your brutha from another mutha?
