CS - 1st timer questions. How to time it? Better to reverse half a plant and pollinate it?

[Groff]

Thanks @MesaBoogie. I think the the "spray as early as possible" makes total sense with autos. It is totally a hormonal thing. Photos shift on light period, so ethylene production kicks in. Recommended spray is 1 week before the flip, to kick in the silver into the plant right before light/hormonal flip.

Auto's on the other hand are "ticking time bombs" ... light agnostic. And sex around day 21. So that means ethylene synthesis is working well before that, maybe even from birth.

That is my theory based from my research. So what applies to photos will only slow down on an auto since you need to work harder to reverse the already set in place hormonal pathways.

I will definitely know for sure since I'm spraying a youngling

I just had a thought. I'm running 24/0 for the first time ever. Could it be the strong LED lights nuking the CS? Do you spray lights on, or lights off ?

Na it's not the lights. If you started when you see flowers the hormones take a while to stop and do a u turn. Why I start em young. Easier to dress a girl like a boy before they know any different. Lol

hahaha made me laugh there thanks - yeah like I said right above, it seems evident now that auto's start life with light independent ethylene production while photos only make a switch after the photoperiod change.

Very cool deduction here. I wonder what more we can learn from this. Off to research ethylene in more detail

Handy thread thanks for the info will be following along. I'm going to make some CS in the next couple days to reverse a Pink Kush CBD and Dinamed. I've read that the lower the mA the better it suspends the silver in the water more effiently and particle size is even.

The recomended mA ia 100 they say even a 300Ma power supply gives concentrated silver particls under a microscope. Does it matter? Probally not for what we are doing but I'm going to make some using the lowest mA.

Liked the topping idea then choosing a side to spray so I can self them.

I don't know I use 30ppm of ebay marketed for health supplement. Works great and cheaper than stuff sold for this purpose. Paid like 18 bucks for 5 Oz and had done like 6 or 7 and probably 2 Oz left yet. Have enough stuff laying around don't need another project lol

I just got my pure silver rods in the mail today. I will be making a tutorial shortly. I have experience and know a fair bit about copper and aluminium hydrolyses, so I don't expect any major difficulties with silver. I just need to read up on established protocols, I've got a lab grade desktop variable power supply/rectifier and a Bluelab pH/EC meter, so I can dial in settings with exceptional degree of accuracy

I'm the same really don't want another projct but I have everything I need laying around so will give it try.

I'll just set it up for a 12 hour run time overnight then see how it turns out.

Sounds like a good plan, little over my head with that equipment. All I know is that a TDS meter won't measure silver and the lowest mA 100 preferablly are the favoured options. Wish I saved the link to the microscope shots and the explination of the mA and how it affects the silver size etc...

Is it right to say that only specific lab equipment can truely measure the silver? I'm not really sure how to measure it now knowing that the TDS meters don't. Might just follow the pic I saw using a laser pointer through the glass. Any ideas on this?

I am using 30ppm colloidal silver from gnc. They independently test batches of what they carry because they dont want to shit on their name by selling bs products with bs potency claims. I started aptaying at pistils but will definately be spraying sooner next time based on the prior conversation.

Update!!!
We have seeds seeeds and seeeeeds.
These are wicked pissah seeds Hawaiian Skunk x Sour Raspberry Kush.
I used a bottle of tiresias mist off ebay,I didnt think it was working because I never saw any pollen when the sacs would burst.I was plucking the pollen sacs manually with tweezers and breaking open sacs so pollen would spread.Little did i know that the sacs were full of pollen and each time a sac would burst my fans would dispurse the pollen in my closet (my wife brought that to my attention) when i kept getting upset because there wasnt any pollen.

Hard to spot as they're so early on, but congrats on the "babies" !!
