I thought, for anyone interested, I would show what I used and how I used it.
So, I made a Colloidal Silver Generator. Used a mason jar, 2 lids (one drill 2 holes 1/4” x 1” apart), 2rubber stoppers, two 12ga. Silver Wire, 2alligator clips, shrink tubing and an old celphone charger. I think its 5 vdc output.
Go for it. Amazon is way overpriced.
Plug her in and she will do the rest. The first batch I made was too weak. After spraying for two weeks… nothing. I made another batch. The first batch I left plugged up for a couple hours. It was working. You could see one of the wires turned black. The second batch I left for 24hours. Also left a little of the original batch to kickstart. First batch was a light yellow color. Second batch was a beer color. Not that light beer shit either.
So after spraying every day, it is finally putting nanners on.
Those rods are the silver correct?
Yes. .999 Silver. About $30. But I understand they will last long time. I will just keep the entire kit with the rest of my shit and I will always have it now that I know how to use it and I know it works. The rest of the stuff I had laying around except the rubber stoppers. They were like a quarter each.
Sweet. Amazon sells there’s for 75 bucks lol.
By the way. If any of you fellers want but don’t have a celphone charger, lemme know. I think I have 3 or 4 that no longer go with anything I have.
Another thing I noticed was there was a pile of sludge right under the wires. And it works better if you clean the silver every couple hours. Use a scotch pad. Put it back together and plug it back in. That simple.
Alright Gentlemen. Here is my weekly report. Everything is smooth sailing right now. I am thinking 2 more weeks. That will be 10 weeks since flip to flower. They are fattening up nicely.
Closer look
Look at this!
And here is my next project
There are 4 White Widow and the one in the front is an Afghani clone that I have successfully rooted. She was about 5 weeks into flower when I was cleaning the underbrush on her momma. I got 2 clones. This one rooted. Trying to put her into veg for a few weeks. Maybe keep her as a mother. Dunno.
I think with 4 White Widow, 1 Afghani, and a Blue Cookies for fem seed. That oughta fill up my 4X4 tent.
Super Nice Flowers hoping to see flowers in a bit but looking at yours helps
very nice work you do
all the best and be safe

I am just trying to keep up with all the excellent growers on this Forum. Its a full time job.
I normally do not like to fondle my buds too much, but this morning I gave each plant a gentle squeeze on one cola.
They are getting real fat and hard as rocks. The trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few clear and a few amber. At this rate I will be harvesting next week end.
Do you guys recommend a period of dark right before harvest? Maybe 24-48 hrs or just harvest just before daybreak?
I like to harvest right before lights on it give time for the plant sugars
to go back down to the roots or so they say less of a hay
taste
be safe and stay free

Is that your garden gnome photo bombing? I should get myself a couple. Might bring me some good luck. I dont know how I would feel about them escaping into my bedroom when I sleep. I heard they like to wreak havoc in folk tales. 10 weeks huh? I can’t wait to see the colors they show. I’ve heard some folks like to give 24 hours of dark before they chop but I don’t think there’s anything to it personally. But hey, it can’t hurt nothing right?
Ah my buddy Chuck, hes been with me sinse this grow began. That’s his name. He is protector of the virginity of the realm. And I am their king.
No not 10 weeks yet. Last Saturday was the last day of week 8 I am now into week 9 since flip.
By looking thru a loupe the trichomes are about 80%cloudy 10%clear and 10% amber. That is on the top of the colas. I want relaxing buzzyslightly couch locky. So my theory is to let the tops get mostly amber so that the smaller nugs underneath will get a man stoned as well. My buddy asked why wait. That shit will get you good and toasty high.
Hey, i am 65 fucking years old. I wanna relax. I don’t give fuck about getting high. Haha. He’s a pain but hes MY pain. He also told me I couldnt grow anything with LEDs. Proving him wrong. Anyways. I figure this coming Sunday will be probably chop day.
So, back on the Colloidal Silver experiment. I am a little confused on the outcome.
So I had a female I liked a lot. I took two clones from her. One of these clones I left in veg and the other I started to spray with CS. As soon as I started noticing nanners I put the veg clone in with my flowering girls at 12/12. My plan is to pollinate her with the CS clone. If and when I get seeds will they be S-1? Or something else. What about any seeds that the CS clone produces on itself? Would those be the same as the others, S-1?
