how long can you let the colloidal silver sit after it has been made?
Can I for instance make a big batch and just save it in a big jar and use it as need be over the years or is there a short shelf life?
just wondering if there is a reason to make more NOW or just do small batches as needed.
Another thing, how much do you think you go through per plant? How much is needed per plant to get the job done as far as size goes?
Hey guys i am used this colloidal silver to make a male from a fem seed.. but i now have a question about when i should paint the polin on my fem plant? as soon as i see pistals?
eyyo, 10ppm might be pushing it, but your experiment and feedback would be of great value to this thread!
I'd recommend spraying twice a day with a good thorough soaking, for at least two weeks if the bottle lasts that long, maybe even three (but yes i'd be aiming to unload the entire bottle on the plant)
Please keep us up to date as your results unfold
ps. To answer your question - NO, do not mix it with water!!! simply spray as is
My first attempt was failed with pharmacy spray "35ppm Ag+9999" on the label.What are signs that the CS failed to work? …
They describe the electrolyses as a complete process that includes interaction between silver metal particles of various sizes and ionic Ag+.ScrubNinja said:…What did you use to filter it? Just a paper coffee filter?...
I use Ag9999 from a laboratory back from the last century.how long can you let the colloidal silver sit after it has been made?

Around 7 weeks, not sure, shame I didn’t made the notes.... how meny week is that cs plant in 12/12 ?
hey all is Deionized Water the same as disstilled water ??? is Deionized Water ok to use to make cs ? cheers
Metal Ag particles appear in two forms – a black sediment on electrode, flakes floating in the liquid and a silver mirror film on the surface of the water.
Both forms of metal Ag are useless and harmful because of clustering Ag+ ions on their surfaces. Silver Ag+ ions stick together with metal that decreases CS activity.
From this point the stirring or bubbling the solution causes blocking Ag+ on the metal catchers and is not useful while common sense is contradictory dictates to stir.
The less the number and size of a metal particles, the better.
Its size and number depends mainly on the current density that depends on current applied, square of electrodes and a distance between, conductivity of the liquid and others.
An electronic controller is needed to prevent and to decrease a metal particles appearance and to provide more efficient Ag+ production.
"Additional Suggestions From Readers"(click) thru the link given by PhenoMenal is the good reading about the current control.
In the absence of automatic control I had to do the service manually. Every one or two hours I turned off, read TDS, switch polarity and turn on. When ppm rising is stuck I clean up the electrodes and coffee-filter the solution.
The final CS-liquid has grey-brown opalescent and likes a tea. It was 52ppm and now after 10 days of shelf life it is 45ppm.
How much is needed per plant – it depends on the size and shape of the plant and the type of the sprayer.
You may train and check this using clear water to spray.

I also have read the ammonia increases CS activity.
