Well guys and gals the time has come to get ready to make some seeds and in this case S1 seeds. I have decided to once again use STS as my reversal agent but this time applying it by hand brushing it on the chosen branch. My plan is to calculate for a smaller batch as once mixed I’m told it doesn’t have a long shelf life. So I will try to make a batch that’s just enough to do this plant.
**STS SHOPPING LIST**
As far as ingredients / chemicals you need the list is quite short. The first item you’ll need is Silver Nitrate and look for Reagent quality. I believe I bought this small packet on eBay. You can make a LOT of seeds with 5 grams of Silver Nitrate.
Next on your list is Sodium Thiosulfate. You can use either Pentahydrate or Anhydrous Sodium Thiosulfate they both work fine. This is what I purchased I believe also off eBay.
Finally you’ll need distilled water, not spring water or well water or tap water. All water is not alike, you need distilled water.
You will also need storage bottles. I went with amber glass bottles because I felt they were of better quality and would keep the STS better and longer. I could be totally wrong but it seemed like a good idea at the time. These are what I purchased and got them off Amazon.

One bottle to store your Part A when you mixe it up, and the second bottle to store your Part B.
When you mix Part A with Part B and Distilled water to create your final product this is the bottle I chose for the spray bottle. Again glass and amber. To help my STS mixture last longer I wrapped my spray bottle with black electrical tape to help keep out the light. This is the spray bottle I bought also off Amazon.

In my next update I will go through a step by step process to make your own STS spray. I’ll tell you how much of each ingredient to use, best way to mix it, how to use it, and how to store it. That’s all for now.
Please have a fantastic weekend.
