Here's some info on sts. You don't need a lab although cs would be much easier to make
Have you tried using giberellic acid?
So the methodology used in the Mohan Ram et al 1982 paper targeted only the growing apical shoot tip:spray 50ppm Colloidal Silver every day for the first 15-20 days of flowering until I see the male pollen sacks form.
I am topping the plants 2-3 times before using CS and inducing flowering... is topping the plants doing something to the hormones in the plant that is causing the male sacs to form but no pollen?
Less.lMaybe you needed more applications
It's less effective than STS though.Have you tried using giberellic acid?
I think I am going to have to order the silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate then... I have heard nothing but good about using it... I haven't tried it yet as the SDS on the silver nitrate isn't too nice to use by the looks of it... but I found some already mixed to a 0.1M solution so should be good to go...It's less effective than STS though.
Don't go by an MSDS/SDS... I could show you ingredients from dietary supplements on an SDS that would have you thinking radioactive waste lol. Check this clip out (the dude ain't even wearing gloves):What I am concerned with is the 2 chemicals MSDS sheets and the use of either of the 2 chemicals in a small apartment, without PPE's, without fume hoods and without fire protection.

I am now making my own CS, but I hear that you need special meters to measure the concentration and the PPM meters don't work right on CS..Tried to measure store bought CS...not accurate with my meter..I have had similar issues, and once only 3 seeds from a full on over the counter CS spray treatment as well. all 3 duds. if you are making your own, make sure you are using the ppm meter correctly, depending on your usage the ppm might not actually be 50~ even if your measures are correct...

After failing 4x I just purchased all the chemicals needed to make STS (Silver Thiosulfate) which supposedly works much better and from what I gather only needs 1 or 2 applications, instead of daily spraying like CS.
@Hempry Quick question..I have 2 plants I have been treating with Home made CS..lots of balls getting readyHey Icemud, I've had good success with regular old colloidal silver from the health food store. I tag one spot and spray it 1-2 times a day in veg for 2 weeks before flip and then continue spraying after flip for another 2 weeks. By week three the one site is loaded, and needs to be isolated or bagged for a week to ripen-leaving you the 30 days you need to mature seed before harvest. I only apply a tiny smudge of pollen to one bud site and get plenty of seed in one bud only. I ran testers on 6 x strains and no hermies, best qualities of both strains showed in the end too. Good luck!
