Whoa this is a great site, I have also had a great interest in this and am gonna be glued to my seat on this one. Question? if the store bought is suppossed to be too weak, how do I make my own more potent solution? gonna research on this one and see what I find out.

found this so far, anyone want to make their own colloidal silver?


as far as i understand you can make your ppm to whatever ya want with this method of making the colloidal silver, Im all over this project.

I make and use silver internally and for my plants . Ive tried everything i could to shock one plant for years and never got a nanner. 10-15 ppm and no problem as stated earlier i got my first nanner ever in 8 years . . I could even just do a branch without flipping the whole plant . I have stored clones in the fridge with silver in a bag for 5 weeks well over 100 clones too and not one flipped in bud. And because of my soil not draining as of late i use a slosh in my buckets of water so not to get root rot. You really have to try to flip the plant . Persistance rules the day .

From what I have read, you need atleast a 30ppm of colloidal silver to convince a feminized plant to produced pollen sacs. I originally purchased "500ppm" colloidal silver from amazon and when tested with my TDS meter, it didn't even register. I did try it though, and nothing in the way of pollen sacs. Not wanting to give up, I put together a generator so to speak. I wired together 4, 9V battery terminals on positive and negative alligator clips, hooked some 14 gauge 9999 silver wire into a glass jar of distilled water. I put this jar into a very small crock sauce pot filled with water and left to steep over night. The first batch was 40 ppm and I am good with that...now, I need to pull my larry bird fem clone, spray one branch with silver for a couple weeks and fingers crossed...we will see what happens. Attached a photo of my diy colloidal silver generator

Oh another thing is what ever flower/bud you spray after you harvest the pollen throw the bud in garbage don't try and smoke it and it can pollenate other parts of the plant I have found the female Pollen doesn't fly around like the males pollen but is just as potent

So is this 10-15ppm meaning it shows up as 5ppm with a tester hear from testers ppm that need to multiply by 2 to 2.5 to get true range of ppm collidal silver.

CS and STS done correctly will have a major impact.

Morning spray CS, afternoon STS. 2 weeks before flip, and 2 weeks after.

Keep spraying at same time in same manner and you will have what you are looking for happy growing.
