Hello friends

Long story short... we have decided to buy CS, but in my country we have only found the dietary versions with the the strongest being 20 ppms. Looking in Amazon (they ship directly to my country and no import fees) i found this one: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/002v/dp/B01FDZEZJS/ref=pd_sbs_121_1/147-3315235-5733631?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01FDZEZJS&pd_rd_r=b89c67a0-e1a0-4e79-b2b1-d4c7cd78d881&pd_rd_w=n7XiB&pd_rd_wg=bTRDW&pf_rd_p=d2a3ee7d-5d69-4331-b32f-a3ce40b5e0d3&pf_rd_r=VW1PTB65BSN4XTVBSD5Z&psc=1&refRID=VW1PTB65BSN4XTVBSD5Z
It's 40 ppms, it would cost 36 usd with shipping and all to my homecountry. Do you think this would work? I found a review of it saying "NOT Colloidal Silver...but EIS (you can make this crap at home)". I get how this could be bad for human consumption, but would it affect its use as a reversing spray in cannabis?

If not the best option, do you have anyother you could recommend please? I'm hoping it's something I can buy from amazon or ebay or a trusted website. I'm considering this one too (240 ppms, used by another member here): https://www.truehealthfacts.com/Colloidals/Silver_colloid_240.html, but i cant find it on amazon or ebay and the website hasn't answered my emails about shipping costs.

WHY do I want this? I have a pheno i'd really like top keep... heck, the mother plant is over two years old and the clones she produces are still just as good as the first ones. But I can't really keep her alive anymore due to space and the electric bill is getting too high, so i figure I'll reverse and self pollinate her and get some seeds to keep her this way.
So, since the pandemic started we have been trying to make our own CS without success (i think we haven't been able to find proper pure silver), and STS is out of the question due to high prices and they only sell one of the ingredients here in my country to people with a special permit.
Buying premade STS like i've seen on Etsy is not really suitable for me since they won't ship directly to my country and if they did, it might take too long (at least 15 days) for the STS to arrive and still be usable i think.

Anyhow, any input is appreciated.

Cs is best used fresh. Buying CS is ridiculously overpriced... make your own. Many videos on YT on how. Will cost you pennies to make.
I use two old 90% silver half dollars. A couple alligator clips and an old phone power supply. That's about it... a laser for testing strength.

I vote strongly for making your own. The prepared stuff is questionable age and quality, and in my opinion you do not get anywhere near enough of it for reliable success. I used over a liter and a half of it in my current reversal of one small plant.

Good silver wire is easily available online, and as pointed out earlier, an older coin will also work. Just make sure you use distilled water, and control the current in your generator. Have a look at my setup for powering a generator here:


If you own a rechargeable tool and an ammeter, all you need is the silver wire to reliably make all the CS you will need for a lot of years.

Here is the wire I use from Ebay:


Good luck with it. :pighug:
 
Thanks for the input you all! i gotta stop smoking so much... it's really making me dumber... i had not considered buying the silver online from the US!!!
I really think the silver was the problem with the CS we had trying making several time already. We tried with different silver sources (even national coins from my country) but they never guaranteed purity and just didn't work.

Hell I have 2 silver rods and a bottle of 240ppm CS I’m never going to use again. How bad is the shipping to your country?

I never knew its better fresh. I bought a quart bottle of 240ppm CS 4 years ago before the price went thru the roof and have been mixing it with distilled water down to about 60ppm and it’s always worked great.

If it's national posting company, it takes at least 15 days to get here and there's a chance it gets stolen. If its sent with FedEX, DHL or those private ones, I get charged a minimum of 50 dollars just for their service. If i get it sent to US to a courrier i have there, they take anywhere from 8-12 days to get it to me for 2.5 usd per lbs and it never gets lost.

Oh that's great to know!!!
