100 microgrames is what I use… The mix ratio is in the first post in the thread… the last one I did was a little slow and I gave it 2 injections of 100 microgrames about maybe 3 weeks apart… I am still working it out myself is the truth mate.

I seen the OP. But it’s after trying and testing people get to the actual stuff we’re looking for. I appreciate you’re learning too. I know these are basic questions but it’s easier to fuck up missing a bit than asking the stupid Q’s.
Would you consider a 150mg dose to try and speed things up or carry on with the double dose is kinda what I’m asking

Yeah sos bro. am a little slow this morning… Well next time I reckon I might stick with the 100mg twice… though as I got several going I might also try a 150-200mg dose to compare… So for you, maybe go with the initial 100mg, wait and see if it is suppressing the pistils… if not then either whack it again or give it a single spray of STS…

I wonder if for woody plants you could just simply drill a small hole into the stem then ‘pour’ the solution in using a syringe or whatever.

Yeah its all something for us to play with as a community to narrow down specifics for which no doubt will happen quick if this method does work ???
@slain your photos definitely show some pollen bearers that no doubt forsure
I’m just needing a growth ray for for my plants before i can give this a go ive just been holding my conversation that id love to hypothesize and discuss till ive tried it cause till then (Works ?) >< (Doesn’t ?) no idea…

id say no, cause i presume you want the plants to be injected in younger flesh where absorption is easier, and just easier to grow out a healthy branch if a clone, and or time frame for flowering plants, cause would presume it no different than cs
No idea really

It’s already in line for my upcoming experiments.
I have had success before by simply soaking a peice of cotton wool in colloidal silver and wrapping it around a node so I’m thinking all sorts of different methods would also work.

Huh that’s a cool way to get it in there. I wonder if you could also pull a DWC root out to the side and put it in a mild SN solution. This is a really interesting thread!

just wondering at what point in time/cycle injection is occurring and if injecting into a branch while in the first weeks of stretch or earlier?
Edit:
I waited till the plant started showing fem bits.
from slain. anyone else tried earlier?

Great thread! Thanks to all who are contributing, especially @slain

first no idea till i try it, but ideal application time should be no different than CS or STS, where right at the plants initial stretch stage when their chemical makeup/production is changing to allow flowering. if we suppress ethylene at that point it usually causes the plants to start producing pollen sacs after about 2-3 weeks.
Sooo for me with autos probably gonna be week 2.5-4, my guess on photos would probably be 0.5-2weeks into flowering cycle depending on how long the plants typically run.
Or thats where im starting…

What would happen if you injected a male with the Silver Nitrate, would it make the male produce fem pollen?
2 Likes
no, fem pollen is only produced using female plants because and pollen produced by the male plant would carry over the Y portion of the gene regardless in effect making all your offspring also male/female, were not altering the geenes and strippign the male portion were just forcing female plants to produce pollen which forces an X X pairing essentially so all offsprings are female.
But thats in basic terms and not quite accurate to our plants but gets the point across if that makes sense to you.

Injecting a male with silver will pretty much have no effect. The silver works by blocking the female flowering hormone, thus forcing the female plant to produce male flowers.
You can use a different chemical to make a male female. Here is a thread by SkunkmanSam on ICMag about it.

I couldn’t find one reasonably priced so i turned to ebay and got a 5 gram pack from a seller “rtf808” in Lithuania Pretty cheaply $10cnd
But have yet to try it, but it came decently quick…

I found the same seller. Think I will go this route, too. Thanks.

This thread has opened up a whole new world of “breeding” to me. It’s strange, because it isn’t like I was unaware of “reversing” plants. I just never gave it serious consideration because I knew for certain I wouldn’t have the discipline and patience to use the other methods.
This “mix and inject” single treatment (or perhaps twice, as per the discussion) sounds so simple and effective that I am going to try it for sure. AgNO3 ordered!
If successful, this is really going to accelerate some of my projects.

Yeah man I did try earlier, so right at flip but it did not seem to suppress the pistils so much and flowering seemed to kick of per normal. I also tried later and that seemed at first test to more effective… I guess, if we are suppressing the ethylene receptors then it makes some sort of sense that the more flower you have the more ethylene receptors there are to block?
