STS Mixing Question
- Thread starter InHumboldt
- Start date
Stop spraying... wait 10 days and spray one last time...IMO.
I swear I only spray once or twice... the very most 3 times if by 10 days I see nothing... it works you will see... over spraying can cause the male to be sterile..

yeah thats a reserved plant, u dont need to spray daily like cs, since sts works better and longer. once a week is enough. if the plant doesnt reserve then u spray more or make a stronger solution.
u wanne put some ventilator blowing on that reserved male since pollen doesnt fly as easy like a normal male. once the male blooms have flowered alot u can take some and then put some pollen with your hands on the buds.
most of the pollen will be inside the male bud so u wanne open it up so the pollen can move. new sacs will always form on the older ones blocking them which is why pollen release isnt as good as normal male.

sts solution will stay clear if u avoid contact with light, also during mixing it should not turn colour, this can ruin your mix. when sn reacts with soduim it turns dark and brown. thats why u need to mix slowly and not too much in one time, if the silver cant dissolve fast enough then it will react and this will not be a great mix.
sodium pentahydrate takes about 6 min to dissolve, nitrate dissolve fairly quick but the bigger cubes of sodium can take 6 min. just stir often and they will dissolve also.
when u add silver nitrate with sodium u should see a small white could that will dissappear when u mix at the same time, if u dont mix u can again get a bad reaction that it didnt mix fast enough. then u get nasty stuff in your mix and wont be clear.
the more distilled water u use the less effect u will see pooring silver nitrate in 500ml or 160ml will offcourse have less reaction. 500ml is a safer way to mix as there is more water content, while using less water u can see the reaction better so u know your stuff is working.
