How to make Colloidal Silver to make Feminized seeds

I started to use CS (i didn't have pure .9999 or even .999 silver) about 3-4 weeks ago on 3 ladies. To my surprise I now have half formed male sacs .... just a little longer and they should start to pop!! **** I EXPERIMENTED USING STERLING SILVER **** AKA 925 silver. I run my batch for 12-24 hrs (usually closer to 24hrs since i don't have a proper PPM meter for this solution so I leave it as long as possible to ensure high PPMs). My only worry is that the male sacs may turn out sterile due to weak solution or using .925 sterling silver ???? But so far so good ..... and i did prematurely open an immature pollen sac and there was the making of a male pre-flower/banana inside!! I'll put an update soon.

**** I realize you are not suppose to drink this type due to the impurities like nickel and copper...... it is TOXIC for human consumption!!***

UPDATE: The sterling silver solution or/ suspension spray confirmed to work!! my female R2 is now covered with male balls!! Next step is to pollinate a non-sprayed (pure female w/ no cs or sterling silver treatments) R2 and then R2 x G13.

cool thanks i will take a look at that link. there is quite a bit of confusing info regarding the right amount of electricity to use when making solutions currently i am using a 24v dc 400ma charger as the lower voltage chargers have died. i guess the lower the voltage the smaller the particles that are produced from what i understand. so the 24v is probably not the best choice. i read that the ma rating is important to im not sure what that means exactly but im learning more as i go along.:peace:

can you not just use a 9V battery

i used a battery charger as you said but mine says 8.4volt dc 250ma hope this is adequate it definetly is working as the silver im using turns black quickly and the distilled water is changing color. my 1 worry is that the silver used was only 95% pure will it still work? im going to pick up 2 half ounce pure silver coins soon for $18 dollars but cant until i get paid.

I've read that 90% percents works fine. All you need is electricity passing through silver.

Does this method work on hybrids strains like ultra lemon haze auto flower. I ask because I want to produce seedswhen all I have are 5 femminized seeds. I'll have no males to breed with. Are the hybrids steril like breading mules? A horse and a donkey make a mule. But 2 mules can't mate. Follow me?

people are still going through all this BS with the silver?

just drop a tylenol in a spray bottle,

it's the same thing ive done side by side's to prove it

stressing the plant into herming means your breading your weakest plants that tend to herm. A conceprt lost most growers. Is the tylonol method based on stress or hormones?

What a clever joke! There are no beaches in AZ. Have you heard the one about tha chicken crossing the road? Do you have something to contribute? Or you just here to mock people driving the discussion, is my information incorrect?

I am doing this with a 12v 1000ma adapter (yes rather high!) and i can actually SEE clouds of silver dropping off one of the bars! (positive side)

I only use 2 5g bars, never done this before!

Any thoughts on adding salt to make quick 15- minute CS? it isnt really CS cus it isn't "suspended" but would these larger particles be good enough for making hermies?

here some googling on it

If you add a salt or other ionic component to the water before brewing, then the time it takes to make something is greatly reduced. However what you make will not be good. What happens is that instead of making colloidal silver, you will make 100% silver chloride or other salts (from the salt, or chlorine in the water, or silver fluoride from the fluoridation). As the silver chloride builds up it begins precipitating out (it has a solubility of only about .89 ppm). If you drink this you will not only not be getting any colloidal silver, but will be getting a silver salt which by itself can cause argyria. Stan Jones is a prime example of this happening, he was making a witch's brew of silver compounds by not using distilled water.

This is the BEST thread EVER! I'm a reader, not much of a poster, but this just needed to be stated...I know, I'm Captain Obvious!

Here's another old thread with pictures... https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/387589-producing-feminised-seeds-using-colloidal.html You'll find the same ignorant misunderstanding of the process by posters there, as here in this thread.. Most can't believe what they've be paying big money for is so easy to make..
I love the free seeds they give away with ea order.. If you want the strain they give you, you can make it your own with so little effort... Got some beans from SOS to cross. THC Bomb and China Yunnan [ace seeds] .. I want to add some more color to the bomb for bag appeal. I'm really liking the THCBomb. One of the most vigorous strains I've grown in a long time..

im doing the colloidal silver method and i don't know exactly the amount of time i have to wait until the water gets the ideal ec. Whats the correct EC for this solution? can you make an estimated of hours when you do it? i read it was like 8 hours, but how many gallons do you need?
can you store colloidal silver? how many days?

Only the first plant, but all these seeds will carry um how to put it "level 1" hermie traits.

You should never use a feminised seed to make seeds... (they will be uhh "level 2")

Meaning more likely to continually hermie...

So, I can't feminize a seed that was already feminized by the seed company but I can feminize a "regular" seed? Who know what the regular seeds and/or pure strains are? I just don't understand the genetics and difference between regular and feminized. My clones from regular Maui Waui seeds can be feminized but the process can only be performed on that generation one time unless I want to risk hermie traits. Is that correct? The Black Russian feminized seed I bought and cloned according to your statement cannot be feminized. Is that correct? On 420 Forums the thread on usind colloidal silver the original poster feminized seeds. I will have to go back and see if he/she was using feminized seeds or regular seeds - some were autos and some were just normal seeds. How do you know that the seeds you are buying arn't level 2 seeds bred by someone who feminized a feminized seed? Sorry for going on and on.
