    Default Colloidal Silver???

    Hi, first time using colloidal silver to try and get some pollen from autos. Can I buy 500ppm colloidal silver and dilute it down to 60ppm. It's cheaper to buy that way or should I just buy 40ppm?

    Yes, I have the 500, and just use A lot less and don't mix it down.

    So if you want to grow a single plant just for seeds,can you simply spray 1 or 2 branches and the plant will pollinate itself?
    I am planning on growing 2 auto's different strains just for seeds,can I put one on inside my window spray a branch or 2 and let it do it's job itself and maybe place the other outside and do the same so they do not pollinate each other?
    I'd rather do a couple of grows and create more seeds than keep buying expensive seeds lol.
    I did buy a bottle of reversal spray but at $65 it's too expensive,I also have a couple of bottles of 40ppm lab tested colloidal silver.

    Mate, I've done this with my two photo regs using CS spraying for 3 weeks just before flower on a couple of lower branches/twigs, don't need to spray much and I diluted my 50ppm CS down to about half with water to 25ppm. Use a spray bottle that is darkened with black tape otherwise silver goes off in light.

    at the moment I have femmed True Blue to self and dusted Wonkey with True Blue CS fem pollen and I think they are both seeded...still too soon to tell...will know more in about another month if it worked and even though I have harvested both True Blue and Wonkey, I kept enough branches/foliage and feed up to keep them going while cooking the seeds to maturity...about 6 weeks minimum...then need to test the seeds.

    I've read that if you fem autos you wont get auto seeds just fem and hermie prone seeds...just check online for further info.

    Here's some pics of this year's current fem breeding still in play...another month to go at least til done

    The Colloidal Silver I used that had been sitting in this spray bottle for 3 years at least before diluting with water and reusing this year.


    True Blue = Bianca (white widow, afghani#1 x white queen) x Wonkey (chemdawg91, skunkva x code blue) sprayed with Colloidal Silver and balls showing, released pollen after harvest..left a few branches on her for seed production and to keep the plant going for 6 more weeks after harvest. The damaged leaves is due to the CS...it really does a number on the foliage!


    True Blue after harvest cooking seeds



    Wonkey after harvest cooking seeds and growing bud (I left lots on her to finish off some immature buds and because she such a slow grower I expect it will take ages for seeds to mature too!)

    Curiosity got better of me and the fem pollen worked, here is an immature seed I squeezed out of True Blue, about a month for seeds to mature

    Using colloidal silver to spray on plants to vause male flower-self seeding didnt work for me on my gorilla glue autos, despite regular applications on 3 plants.
    Il try Ga3 next time round, its meant to be more effective anyway.

    It worked for me,didn't pollinate the plant next to it that it was meant to,but I had put some onto another plant(just a couple of small buds) and pulled 50 good seeds.
