Ive never measured the ppm either. Start spraying as it shows sex. Some take to it and some don't.

Is it called bio-silver? I diluted it to 50ppm....didnt work. However my friend used the 50 ppm bio-silver from amazon with success.In my case I bought 240 ppm pure nano particles so I have to dilute with steam distilled water.

Yep, that's the stuff that actually works, DO NOT use the 240ppm version and dilute it.
We both flipped the same strain and his flipped a lot better than mine with the silver mountain 50ppm bio-silver. He didnt dilute it or anything, used it straight out of the bottle. Its only enough for one flip, he ran out at the end of the flip while i had a full gallon of the homemade stuff for future use.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't want to use pollen on the same plant for seed stock. It should be applied to a female from a separate seed mother (not clones of the same plant) same strain OK but not the exact same plant/clone.I would forget the one out side for this the ones inside spray branch you want with the silver 2-3 days before flipping then every day until you see male sacs mark your branch do not smoke or use this branch for anything when sacs open up it pollinates the other buds and you will get seeds
You spray the plant you desire to get fem seeds from, then you let it develop pollen sacks and pollinate its own flowers a.k.a. selfing (S1). Then you have feminized seeds of that exact plant and that plant only. No other plants needed.Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't want to use pollen on the same plant for seed stock.

Ah, thanks. Was under the impression you needed varying genetics to avoid hermaphroditic traits.You spray the plant you desire to get fem seeds from, then you let it develop pollen sacks and pollinate its own flowers a.k.a. selfing (S1).

Its when you stress a plant to achieve the pollen sacks (extreme temps,light schedule irregularities,flowering too long etc) that you will find the hermie traits. Thats why lots of people use the CS is to avoid that issues.Ah, thanks. Was under the impression you needed varying genetics to avoid hermaphroditic traits.
There are in fact ways to test exactly what the ppm is....mine came in at like 230ish when I used a ppm meter.If a company claims to know the ppm of their silver they are full of crap. You cant measure the ppms of cs.
Why not make it? Cheap and easy.

A cell phone charger, a board and a piece of silver. Plans are all over the web. I use an air stone it makes better spray.
is there a method to atomize the silver particles smaller? How does one obtain the smallest particle version of CS available?There are in fact ways to test exactly what the ppm is....mine came in at like 230ish when I used a meter.
But they use things like this..
Atomic Absorption Analysis and TEM Testing
The gold standard laboratory test for determining the concentration (i.e., ppm) of a batch of colloidal silver is a test called Atomic Absorption Analysis Mass Flame Spectrometry (AAAMFS).
This is about a $500-plus laboratory test conducted on a $50,000 to $100,000-plus piece of lab equipment.
Another lab test, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), can also be used to measure the size of the silver particles, and get a good visual idea of the concentration of silver particles in the solution.
TEM is a $2,000 - $4,000 laboratory test (depending upon number of samples submitted), conducted on a multi-million dollar microscope capable of magnifications up to 175,000x.
This astonishing level of magnification allows you to visually see – and photograph -- the tiny, sub-microscopic silver particles in a colloidal silver solution.
TDS Meters, PPM and Colloidal Silver Quality
A lot of people who make their own colloidal silver try to use those little $49 TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meters to measure the “ppm” or concentration of their colloidal silver batches.
Generally, they’re operating under the mistaken impression that the “ppm” of a colloidal silver solution determines its quality. Quite the contrary, all the “ppm” tells you is the total weight of silver (i.e., concentration) in a given solution.
As explained in my article "Why Higher PPM Is Not Always Better," you can have a colloidal silver solution with 500 ppm, and another with 20 ppm, and the 20 ppm solution could easily outperform the supposedly stronger 500 ppm solution.
That's because stronger concentrations of colloidal silver (i.e., ppm) almost always contain excessively large silver particles which the body treats as if you'd eaten dirt, i.e., it goes in one end and is expelled out the other without being taken into the cells, tissues and organs where the pathogens like to hide and colonize. So you can't base quality of a colloidal silver solution solely on the "ppm" or concentration of a batch of colloidal silver. Quality is almost always associated more strongly with particle size -- the smaller the silver particles, the easier it is for the body to assimilate and utilize them, sending them throughout the body into the cells, tissues and organs where they can get at the colonies of pathogens.
I don't know the smallest possible, but smaller is better when it comes to CS.is there a method to atomize the silver particles smaller? How does one obtain the smallest particle version of CS available?
The lower the voltage the smaller the nano silver. The addition of an airstone helps.is there a method to atomize the silver particles smaller? How does one obtain the smallest particle version of CS available?
