Never made STS before, but eBay is your friend for silver wire. I would just get the air stone and aquarium pump at walmart or the like. A jug of distilled water is around a buck in the larger stores. I make mine in a mason jar which is pretty much nothing to buy. I use small alligator clip jumper cables to attach to my silver wires and I think these were like three bucks, again from eBay. The entire set up is so cheap it seems ridiculous 
Especially when you see how well the finished product works!

Haven't tried that yet SAH I just feed as normal, though it needs to be said again when spraying with CS daily etc... Be sure not to over water the plants as they won't need as much watering due to being sprayed twice a day....

i dont use any aditives or boosters as they can make for hard to germ seeds , but thats talking about the girls/pollinated plants
i also dont bother using any for the reversed plant , but i do switch to flowering nutes with the reversed plant/s before i normally would , nothing scientifically proven , but i do believe/notice better pollen development , or at least i believe i do

ive mentioned this before , but want to keep it fresh in everyones minds , especially since ive seen mention recently that people are spraying 3 times a day
i finally had one failure , plants reversed fully , but i got no seeds from the girls , lots of seed pods , but all were empty
the only thing i did any different was i sprayed 4 times a day instead of my normal 1-2 , i was a bit pressed for time due to not starting the plants to be reversed early , so i thought "maybe" spraying more would help , but it didnt speed up anything , and until i try a fem run from the same strain to know for sure , all i can say is spraying too much is what caused failure
spray once or twice a day , no more

p.s. Tiresias mist is unreliable CRAP! , over time the particles settle thus becoming useless and no longer colloidal , meaning the silver is no longer suspended in the water , simply shaking the bottle does not help , that actually makes things worse , the particles actually bash together creating less but bigger particles that are not going to penetrate the plant
this actually holds true for any store bought or online ordered product , if it isnt freshly made it wont be reliable , i have used my own c.s. that was 5 months old that worked , but i never shake it , and i know for a fact i make small particles
also , a lot of c.s. is made improperly and has added salt , proteins (which coat the silver rendering it usless) , and god only knows what else , there are no laws or regulations for them to follow , they do not have to list whats truely in the bottle they sell you
avoid any pre made c.s.

How much longer before these flowers should be cut?

just watch them and if you are wanting to cut the flowers off to manually collect pollen or pollinate just cut them as they are about to open , your pics are blurry and my eyes are old , but it looks like you have flowers that could be cut now/soon and some that need another week or so

Making a new batch of CS. My adapter is on the higher end so I moved my electrodes appart and after 24hrs got a nice clear/lightly tinged yellow rather then my thick gray stuff previously. Lasered it and there is stuff in there, hopefully it's strong enough. We will just have to see how the spraying goes, is there any way to test it other then a ppm meter?

im sure there is Torched , its just that a lazer pointer is cheap , and a ppm metre is something most of us already have , although ive seemed to of lost mine lol
