Some are throwing nice flower clusters. Some are more nanner like
Yes that’s exactly right. I spray at flip and then every 5-7 days. Until I hit my number target for sprays.

Btw this is just my second time screwing around with this. So what the hell do I know. But it seems like a good idea to try some spray variation to figure out a sweet spot.

I sprayed my small plants twice before putting them into flower…sprayed once while in flower…so 3 times for far…hoping to get balls early and self pollinate. It’s my first time…so I’m hesitant, scared, excited, anxious, etc
edit-
body seems unclear
I have a few plants that I’d like to reverse this season…Wedding Cake, Northern Thunderfuck, and an Early Iranian.
I have some Part A and Part B in glass bottles, stored in black plastic bags, in a refridgerator.
They’ve been in there for almost 2yrs.
Think they’re still good? I’ll probably be ready to spray 1 or 2 females in a couple of weeks, so just trying to get my ducks in a row

Beuller?..Anybody???
The easiest way to check is to check your solutions for precipitates. Do you see particles floating around in, or settled to the bottom of your solutions? When silver precipitates out of the silver nitrate solution, it will look grey, so a grey residue is a sign that your silver is precipitating out and the solution is no longer good. If both solutions are clear and colorless with no signs of precipitates forming, it’s worth a shot.

Thanks, Joe…makes sense.

Why do 1:9 if 1:2 seems to be the threshold?
Wouldnt something like 1:4 be better? Still safe but wildy more silver to make sure?
Im just trying to figure out the strongest I can make this stuff so I dont waste a run.
Id love to test before hand but the plants are already outta control lol…

No idea honestly. The 1:9 was recommended by Sebring and some others awhile back and seems to be the prevailing thought… I didn’t have any success with that ratio on these hard to reverse cuts though. Wasted a couple runs trying it myself and just haven’t had the chance to go back and try a different one. The injection method seems like the go-to for me if I do go back to STS.

Have you tried it?
Anyways… I have multiple clones I was preparing because I know its not guaranteed.
I’ll probably try a few different ratios on each. Maybe throw a syringe in the mix.

No i’ve only done whole-plant-spraying/soaking with STS. Not tried injection yet myself but again, I think ‘that’s the way’ compared to what I saw doing the spray/soaking method.

I ordered some STS from Amazon. Good reviews, but that’s almost meaningless. I have some Part A and Part B in my stealth fridge, been there in black plastic bags for about 2yrs now, so I didn’t trust it on this run.
Did my second spray of selected branches on selected plants today. Actually 2days ago, but it rained yesterday, so resprayed them today.
Hard to wait weeks to see if it’s working…

I ordered this Sodium Thio from this company. They sent the wrong item and then sent me the wrong item a second time.
Dont ever use them
no sign of success on this run and its been 20 days.
not sure if i mix incorrectly or if using spring water and not distilled water is the problem.
humm …
I don’t think the spring water was the problem because I’m pretty sure what I used when I did it was spring water although it could also have been purified water but either way I know it definitely wasn’t distilled. I just grabbed a bottle of water out of a 24 pack I had already and it worked fine for me.

Are you just mixing those two?
You need 1 of those and some Silver nitrate
And yes Id recommend distilled water. The extra minerals in spring water can interact with the silver in the sts and turn it brown and bad.
Distilled is cheaper anyways.

I would not use spring water for making STS. The reason distilled water is recommended is because it doesn’t contain minerals and metals that the silver or thiosulfate can interact with.
The idea with STS is that it’s a relatively stable silver-containing solution where the ethylene-inhibiting properties of the silver are still active. If other minerals or metals are present they can bind with the silver and cause it to become a solid that precipitates out of the solution, or bind with it in a way that makes the silver inactive or less active as an ethylene inhibitor.

so mixing those two will not give me the stock i need ?.
was sent those and was told they were what i needed, just used the regular mounts just half them because i did not need a full on batch.
i have other stuff i can work with and get some DIS water no problem, just want to be sure the two i showed above will 100% not give me the stock i need to move forward with.
i do have some that pre mixed but it tends to burn my plants and i do not really like that, it works though just dont like the burning.
thanks …

It’s correct, you need one or the other of what you’ve shown + Silver nitrate…
The mix you have now is will not reverse…
