A Guide To Colloidal Silver

[kev1968]

@kev1968 Great to see that you have succeeded in turning you plant. My plant didn't turn and that was quite a disappointment. What I did instead was switch to STS method and that turned another clone that I took after a few sprays. Now I am going to pollinate and get some seeds.

I have a White Widow clone and a Blue Dream ready to be pollenated.

@kev1968 Have you managed to get some pollen from your plant?

Plus another full vial of pods, so 3 vials. Took hours to pick them all off with twisters lol pollen everywhere! I have pollinated 2 plants so far, so excited!!

So just a little update, no pic unfortunately (lights out). Both the Blue Dream and White Widow (crossed White Widow and Blue Dream) clones are covered with seed pods
I have 2 other strains I want seeds from, White Widow and Granddaddy Kush. Gotta do a personal run first lol been concentrating on seeds and I need to make fresh colliodal silver.

Awesome, man! Congrats on the success! I really love watching people use this guide to go from start to finish with their seed production.

The pics you've been sharing are all great, too! Especially, since photobucket ruined the ones in the original guide with broken links. I'll have to eventually get them back up, or work on new ones.

So here's a couple pics. The 1st (small) plant is the white widow x blue dream and the other is blue dream, both loaded with feminisd seeds.
Sorry about the picture quality, with the hps I can't see the screen while taking a pic.

Ok, 1 more question. How long does it takes for the seeds to fully mature?

They should mostly be ripened between 6-8 weeks after successful pollination. They should come out pretty easily, even if you just poke at them with one finger, when they are ripe. They should be somewhat dark, too. If you can crush the seeds between your fingertips pretty easily, then they are probably not ripe, or just bad.

Also is it required to dry the seeds after harvesting, before storing them in a fridge/freezer? I see conflicting information around.

Six to eight weeks as has already been stated in this thread.

Congratulations on your success with making fem seeds.

You don't want to store just the pollen sacs. You want to actually collect the pollen and store that. The pollen in those unopened sacs may or may not be viable. You want the pollen to fall. And then collect and store it and or use it like this.

Thanks, I just haven't had time to separate the pollen from the sacs yet, so I have them in the fridge.
I should have waited to ask this question cause the seeds pods on the Blue Dream are breaking open this morning

I'm reversing green poison xl auto, putting it across a few different autos.

I usually let mine just sit in a small bowl on a shelf for a couple weeks before putting in small test tubes for storage.

I also use silver thiosulfate, i only spray one time when i see hairs, works perfectly and allot easier than colloidal silver.

 

[reallybigjesusfreak]

woo I love it when I'm wrong. It DID work and I'm starting to see male sacs all over this lil lady. WOO! Might be trying CS now too, see which one works better for my needs and preferences.

Will 120 ppm c.s be sufficient ?

It should be, but it's not an accurate measurement for the potency. What color is your solution?

 

[Blaze 77]

Clear ..i

Harvest day!
Huge shout out to the members of this group. After successfully producing feminisd pollen and pollinating a couple plants, I now have a huge supply of feminised Blue Dream seeds.
I also have 16 seeds that I crossed the Blue Dream with a White Widow (was a very small plant).
Now in the starting process of making Granddaddy Kush and White Widow x Big Bud feminisd seeds.

 

[kev1968]

Gearing up for the 2nd round of feminised seeds. White Widow x Big bud.
I've been growing this strain through clones for the last year, but I flowered out the mother.
Keeping 3 clones! 1 as back-up.....
Anyway, fresh CS pics. NO ppm reading is being done. I have a meter, but as previously discussed a laser pointer is more accurate.
This is the 1st time I used this generator, although I made it previously.
It is a cell phone charger that delivers 7.8V DC.
Cooked for exactly 6 hours, cleaning silver every hour and filtered through 2 unbleached coffee filters.
FEEL FREE TO USE PICS.


After 6 hours, just a slight amber color, can hardly notice but.....


Shine the pointer and bam! Best batch yet!

I put these pics up more for EverythingsHazy because there was mention of redoing the OP
and if any of my pics can be used, please feel free!
More to come and happy growing everyone!
