Spraying Colloidal Silver

UPDATE…

it’s gonna give me lots of pollen before I know it. Getting ready to isolate it soon for collection. Now that this northern lights is exploding gonna try for select pollination.First time putting an auto in 12/12 so early to keep it short.

Isolated…So is it possible to leave the sacs on and just tap the pollen into a glass jar . I know that I’ll have seeds coming on the donor plant. I’ll let this thing go indefinitely until they are fully ripe. This box had my Zkittles in it until it got pitched. Im not looking forward to pulling off the sacs and manually opening them. Isolated being the key factor this time.

The last spray will come at lights out for a total of 21 days sprayed twice daily.

Every looks good still from my angle there’s a pistil front center that looks a little wonky but may be receding a bit

The hairs seem to go weird and brown off, and the little pods that they shoot out of are expanding at the bases! My only concern is people keep saying their plants get their asses kicked by CS, my seems to be quite healthy for “500 ppm” CS (reviews claimed actual is closer to 50)

My bad I didn’t realized you were trying to reverse here with that in mind I don’t see anything of male flowers yet ,pistils normally die back with age but to answer your question you’ll start seeing male flowers then pollen will start then the hairs will die back and seeds start to develop no male flowers yet they appear as little bananas ,see that then your in business!

It took me 3 weeks of daily spraying before mine showed balls. If you can spray twice daily it will likely speed the process up a little. Then once it has sacs a further 2 weeks + before it dumps pollen.

I didn’t have good luck with commercial colloidal silver my first try. 2nd try I built my own generator and everything went smoothly other than the waiting to see the change in the plant. Some strain show faster than others. When you spray make sure you spray the nodes also. My plant was more or less drowned in the stuff to ensure it worked.
I started spraying a week before flip to 12/12 and kept spraying until I seen sacs forming then I stopped and they grew swelled and dumped pollen. :+1:

When purchasing and applying colloidal silver, is there a limit to the ppm you should use? Also, is a higher ppm better for reversing?

I can buy the 30 ppm CS or the 500 ppm CS…$5 difference…just wanted to know if the 500ppm would have any ill effects or benefits because of the high ppm.
