Silver Thiosulfate solution for feminizing.

[yodabuds]

All righty just tried my hand at sts... I mixed .25g of silver nitrate to 250ml of water, than 1.25 of sodium thiosulfate in 250ml, mixed both separate and than together... I than took one ounce and mixed it in 450ml of h2o(distilled whole process) I than took my 1:9 sts solution and just sprayed the crap out of one my young ladies.... Will respect again in another week and see (might make solution with other ratios that I saw under the .50gm SN and 2.5gm St recipe... If this actually works, ill NEVER GO BACK TO MAKING CS(as I couldn't get a reversal.... Will see what the next few weeks bring... Crossing fingers as this whole thing seemed way simpler than I thought it would be.... I got enough of stock solution (aprox 470ml's worth) enough if my calculations are right to make enough for over 15+ bottles of spray? I'll be throwing more out than ill possibly be able to use....

Yoda silver compounds are light sensitive and silverthiosulphate has about 30 day max shelf life and better to consider it getting old at 2 weeks. Also the silver nitrate is a particulary nasty item if gotten into the eye including dilute solutions of it ( the cornea turns brown and you can't see)-it also really is a hazardous substance in dry form fire wise. The STS stains things so keep it off anything your worried about.

I have used 6 mo old non referidgerated STS , with no issues.

Silver nitrate used to kill folks who used it for photos 100 yrs ago.
Be carefully with it...

You guys got me real scared now with the sts... I did use a face mask when making it and mixing it also used gloves, guess next time ill use goggles as well.... So my mixture seems right to you? How long before I spray again?

Ps also going to try today the gibberellic acid to try and germ the 2 remaining 15+ old seeds:.:. Would love to just get one going.....

dunno why you didnt get a reversal with the c.s yoda, but i hope you have success with the sts

i dunno why anyone would chose working with such dangerous things though when c.s is so safe its actually good for you, and making it is as simple as plug it in and forget about it, or like me, i plug it in and go to bed, when i wake up its ready, i made some last night while dreaming

peace

The time though you leave it out over nite it gets all black and nasty looking, every time I'd make it I would sit around all day and every 20-30mins i was pulling out the silver wire and wiping it down... Is all that nesscessary?

i dont see that until the end

make sure everything is clean right from the start , including the wires themselves

i dont see the buildup until about 6 hours in, if im awake i wipe em and switch the wires around (changing the + - ) if i wasnt awak at the 6 hour mark i do it when i wake up and let it go another hour or 2 while i have my morning coffeeS

the only time c.s failed for me was recently when i did the experiment of not spraying as long , other then the hastle of having to spray daily for approx 2 weeks i find c.s so simple , and how much of a hastle is it spraying a plant really

best of luck with your next go at fems yoda :gthumb:

peace

Treating old seeds with ethylene will greatly increase germ rates, an usually makes it grow as a female.
I use Mohan rams banana peal for mine....

I mix my STS strong.
1:1 from stock solution. A batch makes 1 gallon.
I spray twice a day for weeks, then cut bact to once a day when her balls get big.

This is it.......

What's it? Huh? Did you mean the post above is it.. Meaning the right way? I have been using STS I made over 6 months ago and it's still working great (kept in the fridge) and I also found the 1:1 stock solution the way to go... What I do to mix a batch up now is .8of silver nitrate into 100ml of distilled water and 5grams of sodium thiosulfate in about 200ml of distilled water. Keep the glass with the sodium thiosulfate stirring while pouring in the silver nitrate...than I add say another 300ml of distilled water giving me 600ml's total at the end (have found the exact water amounts really don't matter) than though it's advises not to I usually spray the straight stock solution once than maybe 5to6 days later one more time and than after two weeks total maybe one more spray and I've found it works every time.... I have also sprayed daily twice a day to see if it would kill the plant or not work and it did work as well... Main thing with CS and STS and spraying the plants often is to not over water them...
That's my method I found that works for me....do you do it the similar way stitch? Any better methods or tricks you could give??? As ultimately this shit is poisonous and try to not screw with it much... A bit got on my hand once and I had stains (black!) on my skin that wouldn't go away for 10+days....
