Wow. There is soooo much information on colloidal silver. I mean people have different views and get pissed about it! They say heat is good, heat is bad, heat only speeds up the process it doesn't "help" in any other way. Bubbles are good, no wait bubbles add oxygen and when mixed with the silver is bad. Bubbles are essential to the process.
Its not colloidal silver but ionic silver. Ions are actually smaller than colloids, colloids are not a thing but the name of something suspended in a solution. Spray a week before 12/12, only spray 5 times total, spray until you see male balls. Color! Color is good, the only way to tell if you have true colloids is if it looks like iced tea! Color is bad, color means there has been contamination and that batch should be tossed.
Use 3 9v batteries, don't use batteries use a transformer, 30-45v 3A, no to hot, only use up to 9v anywhere between 300mA to 800mA. 7.5v is best. Spray 3 times a day, spray once a day. Rotate anodes, don't bother they last years...
And on and on and on. Every post, commercial site, everything I read contradicted everything else I had just read. There is so much conflicting information on this one subject its incredible.
My only guess is that there is a fairly wide window of opportunity in using or making CS and that it should work if you get into that window. You just have to find which way works for you and keep on trucking. I also have come to the conclusion that it is very strain dependent. The HBD I could not reverse was really instable to begin with, as the 4 of 5 that died before getting past seedling stage prove.
Even Jacky, my Black JH from OSS who I have successfully cloned (my 1st time might I add) wasn't really stable as she never auto'd, then after 1 of her clones DID in fact auto. So the clone of hers I am reversing now might not do well.
I am going to do another CS (or ionic silver) what ever you want to call it, run, without a bubbler this time and covered well with saran wrap so nothing can get in it and stop it earlier around 20ppm. It seems the longer it runs the more conductive it is the larger the particles become.
If I get this to work, I will report what worked for me, maybe MAYBE that will work for you also. This really is some shifty shite.
Anyone else that has had a successful run, please post up your link in here in case I missed it or other folks would like to read how it was successfully done your way THANKS.
