I got no nanners...idk what to think...could be fake fkn silver from Amazon but unlikely. If the spray is such low ppm and not always being sprayed, why didn't this work...gah!

why would you smoke a reversed plant treat a cut not a whole plant.

https://www.icmag.com/threads/cloni...x-on-the-clones-with-sts-for-pollen.18127200/
it is possible even with autoflowers..

I'm all autos for a while and have been thinking about this and planned to do so, glad to see it's already done and documented.

People have tried to convince me that it's not possible to clone autos which is idiotic and hasn't had any influence on the plans..

Already have some reg auto seeds and will get more with the intention to be independent of the market and make my own seeds for experiments.


I tho think the idea of silver hung onto the plants (which is completely new to me, so glad to have found this thread..) is amazing.
No constantly buying materials that make the flower unusable for vaping or smoking.

If this works properly it just makes things way easier.

Sts I think makes the flower completely unusable, colloidal silver from what I've read is less effective than sts tho.

Seen a breeder talk about using sts and colloidal silver mixed together for best results.


However a cloned auto with silver jewelry to make some pollen for fem seeds seems like cheating if it works properly

I'm gonna have to keep trying...maybe plant is too big and outproducing Ag+ amounts necessary for reversal

Maybe slather an acid or base gell on necklace and branch to act as reactant solvent and help...catalyst or whatnot

Yeah need an acid ..ill get it worked out...like fkn household toothpaste diluted might work lol

A suitable catalytic solvent for generating Ag+ ions from silver wrapped with aluminum would typically involve an acidic solution. One effective choice could be a solution of nitric acid (HNO3). Nitric acid is a strong oxidizing agent that can react with aluminum to produce aluminum nitrate

I don't get nanners, hundreds of plants ive gone through of multiple strains over 10yrs...I've seen 2 plants nanner on me outside that earring attempt...im 99.99% sure that first try is legit "it worked"...this attempt has me stymied but not dismayed

Check it out, there's holes in the foil

So...foil in contact did react but it just blasted away from branch...the reaction didn't produce the Ag+ close enough to the branch surface to be absorbed...just carried away with wind

...wrap foil strip on branch, wrap silver around that...all reaction products are at branch surface and unable to get away..

Btw jewels are not pure silver usually, maybe that canncause problems, silvercolloid works good, but you have to do it lot more comoared to sts, some autoflowers are stubborn and very hard to reverse and get any pollen, some reacts more intense and give you decent amount of pollen

I have yet to read the thread, only looked over the beginning.

Acid + aluminum does work (even though I have no idea yet why it's used), the same reason why it's bad to consume very salty or acidic food coming from alu cans, shit dissolves much better in acidic solutions.
Salt isn't acidic but I remember reading that salt brine is bad in combination with alu cans too.

Maybe find a different silver source that has more surface area?
Like something similar to tinfoil but silver.

There are also those mini 1g silver bars available online for cheap, they have a flat surface, maybe that could be enough to have more silver working?

Or maybe even cut the stem and stick the silver bar inside or a similar approach?

I have to try the necklace on top of foil first before new experiment parameters used. I'm feeling way better about this after some analysis on real data (the holes in foil)

I dont think it will work, silver particles in good quality sc are very very small sized and they are fooling the plant and it connects instead of Cu and it causes some hormon malfunction or block or whtever you call it

This is what i bought...silver is silver..purity matters but not to the degree we care about.

All those holes in the foil i don't believe are wind rubbed...could be. But i feel I've not executed the experiment correctly yet
