Awesome! I appreciate your trials as well.

I have definite male parts on the BD#2 x JS but no phone/camera to show you.
they are most prevalent however on a branch that wasnât injected although there does appear to be some on that branch too.
I will have a phone again hopefully within a week to grab pics.

Did you inject a branch or the main stem? I remember it being said that everything seems to happen above the stem location of the injection. Just curious.

One of the main stems, she is a reveg girl so has several tops, it has me intrigued too because i also thought it would only happen above the injection site.
I realised i have a 5mp camera on my old android tab so lets see how a pic goes.
The middle stem was injected and the pic of what looks to be male bits is on the left stem!

Yeah thatâs a a bit odd hey? One of the more woody plants I injected did a similar thing, and one of my plants turned so completely that I would have almost thought it a a male if it hadnât come from fem seeds. My thoughts are this might be related to whether you get some of the silver into the phloem or not⌠By rights if injected into the pith (xylem) then transport should all be only one way i.e north of the site, whereas itâs possible that injection into the phloem transports silver right through the plant, why this only results in some branches turning is a bit of a mystery.
But at LEAST itâs turned. I was beginning to think that I must have had some magic silver nitrate or something!

You should definitely get some result from that I should think, you have done more or less exactly as I have done and so far itâs worked for me every time⌠Like Pedroâs and some of the ones I tested if itâs going to work it might not show up for a week or so but fingers crossed. And btw, I appreciate the skepticism, a man after my own heart.

Donât know till i know first hand. âShrugâ
Saying that today im definitely at a âHmmmâ levelâŚ
Have a feeling may have a better indication come the weekend at some point.
Hereâs the top of the one Injected plant and its the one i had difficulties with previously not the successfully injected one from the get go.
And a non injected one
So im hypothesising a logical conclusion if this is successful on what and when stuff gets reversed but iâll hold off on that for nowâŚ

Of course., the proof of the pudding is always in the eating mate 
Might just be the pic but there seems a distinct lack of calyx on that first bud tip, thatâs a positive signâŚ

The very centre of that bud looks like it is going male, to me.

I am also finding this technique useful when I want to reveg and to rescue a clone from a good pheno. I just inject into a stem that I leave a small amount of bud on and am finding reveg times to be MUCH faster.
This is a Skywaker OG that was only chopped 2 weeks ago, then injected and put straight back on 18/6, looks like it should be clone able any day now.

My AgNO3 and syringes have arrived. This all happened sooner than anticipated. Will have to decide if I want to try to reverse any of the females that are barely starting to flower in my tent. Hmmm, lots to think about.
Thanks again for this awesome thread!

Man, that seems really fast. What part of the stem do you inject? close to the main stem? Close to the bud?
2 Likes
Yeah man super fast. This might also be a useful technique for super cropping.
Just the same branch as the bits of bud I leave on the plant, just below the node they are growing on.

Thatâs insane! Iâm definitely trying that. Have you had good success rates revegging after a complete flower cycle? How much faster is the recovery compared to normal?

Not using this method as yet. I sometimes plant my outdoor patch a bit early so that it flowers and then revegges and this definitely makes them super bushy from the get go ( and also lest me remove any males early) , but they can take ages to revert back to grow and I have never been convinced itâs the most productive method. That said if I can speed up the process then this might be a whole different story.
I have yet to go full term on one that I have used silver to speed up reveg, tbh most times I find revegging to be so slow that itâs mostly faster to be starting again⌠unless of course itâs one of those special phenoâs that doesnât show special till itâs too late to clone⌠I donât know if this treatment might cause balls later when you reflower, but given the initial dosage and time passed for the AgNO3 to be metabolized I would be amazed if there was an issue with stray bananas.
Just by way of comparison ( my own âbaselineâ of sorts) on how much it seems to speed it up, this is the plant next to it that wasnât injected, you can see it is revegging but is miles behind the other one.

Amazing findings on this thread, thanks a lot. Will be interesting to see if balls show up after silver nitrate assisted reveg or any other undesirable things happen. Fingers crossed.

Iâm puzzled about the silver nitrate assisted reveg. Since this treatment renders a plant ânot fit for consumptionâ, I am assuming that any cuttings that are taken are also unfit. So it wouldnât be used as a mother plant? So then it could be revegged and flowered again but the flowers would be unfit. So then, why do it at all?

I would imagine that the amount of AgNO3 within a plant grown from a clone after this treatment would be so minuscule that itâs not something I would be concerned with. With bud treatment I guess you would be smoking the parts that have been directly treated, if you are using it to revert to veg, the plant then has to grow entirely from scratch, so any AgNO3 is going to diluted a fuckton.
In all honest though the amounts of AgNO3 we are dealing with, even IF you smoked the treated bud would not cause a problem. Though thatâs not a recommendation lol.
Post harvest pheno selection is what I am using it for. Instead now of taking clones of every fkn thing I grow when I do a pheno hunt, it means I can let them go all the way through to harvest and then reveg and clone.

Imagination is maybe not enough when it comes to possible health problems. A single injection of silver nitrate is enough to replace 2â3 weeks of spraying CS daily as far as I understand it, so it seems to be active for quite a while. I think Iâd pass just to be on the safe side.
