Reversing females in flower without spraying STS
- Thread starter mudballs
- Start date
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

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

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 use 999 silver electrodes to make my own silver colloid
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
