How to make Colloidal Silver to make Feminized seeds

[bicycle racer]

im sure there are also other undiscovered compounds that can be used to reduce ethylene production in female cannabis plants which is our goal for fem pollen production hopefully in the future something more effective will be discovered.

yeah im a new breeder getting started i have many projects going now mostly with med clone only strains here in socal. the ga3(gibberelic acid) works to but causes stretching etc.. it would be good to do a side by side test to really see which is more effective regarding pollen amounts. on some strains i have simply let them go far past harvest and often most strains will make a few bananas before there life cycle ends. but cs is simple safe and esy so i mostly go that route im going to try a recommended product for reversals called stamen-it at some point. ill let everyone know how it goes supposed to work well and produce decent amounts of fem pollen.

Wow, SCal, that must be rough? Them bozy don't play out there. The Girbal acid is not where I'm at, been dis'ed by loads of growers. Silver thiosulfate nowhere too, plus, hard to get without hassles.
"New Breeder" is what I am too; old fucker, new breeder. I've asked tons of question here wondering what sort of dudes are taking the time to help one another. If we are all breeders, and, as thus, have seeds that are really special, it makes sense to "trade" 10 lots with one another? The most one would risk is 10 beans. What one may profit/gain is a new and super genetic, before unheard and special to each breeder. Yes, most work with Dutch gen or SoCal, and Canadian, but the best genetics do not come from these sources. They exploit finds in bagseed herb, and outlaw breeders like Romulan Joe, and the dude that sold Chem Dog the oz. at the concert, Chemdag developed a super strain of "Chems." Not the "Bigs" , , So we the rulers here from now on. I'll never buy very many beans from them again. Rather work outside with the "real growers" genetics.
Give me some feedback on these important matters. I'm still going to buy some Warlock and some Romulan for my project, and use them to my advantage. I've got the Lion Heart, which crossed with Warlock brought us all the "Chronic" genetics and around the world it went.
My messages are so long because i make a straight living writing grow fiction for a few mag/pubs under the name DomMegail. Plus, write about my own smuggling days long long ago in a land called, "Jamaica."
Books called, "Trolls In Paradise,"
because there are , , ,
Don't be shy , , , LOL

the seeds should be the same either way you do it most people begin spraying a week or more before flowering begins daily or every other day. i spray for about 10 to 14 days if you overdue it too much you can kill the branch your spraying. store the silver in glass containers as plastic creates a static charge which can degrade the silver solution. light also degrades and limits shelf life best place for storage is a cool dark place but not the fridge as too cold temps affect it as well.

Thanks, are there any special time of the day that is best to spray? Man, Don't wanna kill my ladies. I'd have to fall on my sword. Do you soak them? Want to get this correct as I can be, as much depends on this and many depend upon me. I'm going to need lots of CS juice. Made a great engine. Didn't mention I'm a silver smith and have some half-round, pure .999 silver wire i use. The rods are about 5 inches long. My runs are lasting about 24 hours.

always spray when lights are off or the suns is down if outdoor as im sure you know water droplets act like magnifying glasses and will fry your leaves if sprayed in direct sunlight. also it dries slower so more contact time . i soak mine when i spray if your silver concentration is high enough the plants wilt a bit and look stressed but thats to be expected im not sure what effect will be had when spraying the whole plant as i only do branches worst case that way is the sprayed branch dies but not the rest of the plant.

It doesn't actually reduce ethene production, rather it steals the position at binding sites ethylene would attach to.. It works kind of like alot of reuptake inhibitors if you're familiar with the mechanisms behind basic anti-depressants/anti-psychotics..

Hey Bike ~ Again thanks for the rapid response to some/most of the questions posed. I've started with one B.Ball clone tonight and will see how that goes overnight. If it seems okay, I'll begin the procedure of spraying the remaining 7.
Been reading some of the back pages here from you to different people. You and I perhaps do not agree on some issue concerning beans. I di noit want to put words in your mouth, but you do not in your writings put value in bag-seeds?
I'm not going to say that they are "all that," in fact, i cannot remember when the last time i saw a seed in a bag of herb. But then i smoke my own 99% of the time.The tales of what can/have been found is amazing. Nature puts her treasure's everywhere, not just in Greenlife Seed, etc.
Maybe i've misunderstood what you've written?

bagseeds can be great but you have to be aware that most are from females that hermed under normal stress if your a good grower no big deal. me personally i have grown fem bagseed ogs etc with no herm issues as i keep stress to a minimum. but as someone who wants to vend seeds at some point i have to go about things differently. but yes bagseeds can sometimes be real winners sure. then again if the bagseeds are male female seeds then really there is no issue just the problem of random genes so harder to target the features wanted if your unaware of the parents involved.

 

[bicycle racer]

thanks b2ks im no chemist my concern is the results. anyways im familiar with ssri's they should not be taken by people unless your so fucked mentally it does not matter either way. i have lost friends to those creativity and emotionally numbing drugs. sorry off subject but i hate new aged bullshit drugs deal with life on lifes terms is what i say.

Very true, so often ppl grow out bagseedgetting nothing but apparent females and brag about it.. They usually get seeds, them all of a sudden so many generations in they get totally seeded..

BR ~ Beings you from SoCali, you ever run into a Cali strain called, Makado Jade?
Came through Willy Jack, but no info. on what it may be. It's for for a sativa, but stinks like a skunk. Supposed to be old South Cali genetic. Huge plants too, thin huge leaves.

Things kinda quiet around here. Writing is what these sites/threads are about, no?
I'd like to add, at my age and experience i do not believe that everyone's a cop. But that's just me. Again, perhaps no one has anything to say, or to add? Everyone here begins as a "new guy"(feel comfortable using "everyone" here). I'm feeling that I've missed something. Most have 1000's of replies, now, all quiet of the western front?
Humans have advanced to the very pinnacle of evolution because of one reason
only:sharing. Someone wanna straighten me out here?

nope....cept maybe we're not at the pinnacle HA HA, but we'd be nowhere near it without sharing. right on 9coats!

Insects etc have us beat by an absurd amount as far as evolution goes..

Would there be anything wrong with smoking the bud from a plant sprayed with collodial silver?

absalutely nothing wrong with smoking it all CS is is water with silver particle in it i mean like 40 parts per billion. and it is a great health benfiter. i mean it cures an abundants of illnesses and any kind of infection. think haveing a plant that has been sprayed with CS would actually be better. but who know what the part per billion are when they are transferred to the plant. hell i make the shit in my room every other day. you can buy it at health store but they sell an oz for like 60bucks. fuck that. thats why i make my own and it's fresh and better.

 

[dbodabomb]

damn i have been sitting on CS for the past 5 years and haven't even thought about the benificial reasons for chronic. i mean that is amazing next grow i am going to have to try this.

and what do you think about germinating in CS do you think that can help ??? maybe it will prduce more female's this way. but who knows till we try.

 

[born2killspam]

'Colloidal' silver isn't what you want though, and 40ppb Ag ions isn't going to do much, 500-1000ppm is roughly the target according to abstracts on producing staminate flowers..

 

[Nine Coats]

Sorry dude, on this there is no slippage: the human frontal cortex is the most advanced evolutionary offering thus far. Now, "adapted" to the planet is another matter. We are the least adapted, or least advanced. Understand the difference?

 

[Nine Coats]

im not familiar with that strain.

No problems, just asking as Willy Jack says it's a old favorite amoungst Cali growers. I didn't order it, Canadian Seeds Exchange just sent it to me instead of the Cali Orange I'd ordered.
How do these dudes stay in business? That is why I'm harping about not giving them anymore of our hard earned bucks!
If we are all breeders, we all have lots of seeds that we have developed ourselves. Why not just trade seeds with one another?
I suggested this last week and no response at all from anyone on this thread.
I got into this thread late and missed lots of discussion. Has trading been nixed?
