by the color of that water that looks like a nice strong brew of CS nice work tr33
I've just tried my first batch of cs autoflower, this works like a charm. And because everybody here helped me do this, i feel a bit obligated to post my results. Maby someone else can use my results.
I bought 5 fem seeds, Lowrider#2.
My first bad move was to just slam them in the earth and hope for the best. So as a result only 3 woke up and the other 2 died, no worries, they were already burried...
I used pretty big containers (about 12 or 13 Ltr's) in a small box growing under 6 fluoressent tubes of 36Watt, Osram Fluora tubes. This is probably my second blunder, these are growing tubes, not for flowering. It works great though, but could be a lot better (working on that problem as we speak). The lights are set to 18/6 from the start to the end.
The day after planting the seeds i made my CS.
I kept on spraying, once every day (ok, ok, i forgot 2 or 3 days) untill the male flowers were clearly visable (don't remember how long that took, sorry). I sprayed only one of the three plants i had.
I sprayed it right in the growbox. Just put the plants as far apart as the box would let me, turn of the fan and spay till it drips (a bit). Eventualy, this plant exploded in male flowers, it was a beautifull sight.
After about 25 days, the male flowers started to open up and lose some pollen (when i tap on the plant). I first tried to collect the pollen in a ziplock bag, not a great plan...
Static electricity and pollen don't go.... well, actualy they do go together great, but getting them apart again is a whole other story.
So i got a bit anoyed and took the male over to the females and shook it about a bit, tapt the flowers and more abuse like that.
I see some room for improvement here.
I pollinated the females 2 or 3 times in total, just to be shure i got them all. After that i put the male back in the growbox in front of the intake fan (hey, every bit helps right?).
About 4 weeks later, i took the male out, thought it was kinda out of pollen by now.
And 6 weeks after pollinating began, and the females didn't look so good anymore (brown leaves, almost no leaves, red stems...), it was finaly time to take them out, clean them up a bit and hang them out to dry.
I left them hanging for about 2,5 weeks and started to take them apart and collect the seeds.
That part took a while, i probably was a bit to carefull, should go a bit faster the next time.
I had a nice harvest, or so i thought...
I couldn't help counting the seeds (after getting out the realy bad ones) I ended up with over 1100 seeds!!!!
From 2 females...
Small ones...
Under Fluoressent tubes...
Grow lights...
Slightly abused...
Man, this system doesn't only work...
It works great.
Again, thanks everybody for the info.
I hope someone might even use some of my experiences
p.s. the first 10 seeds are already above ground, don't know if they are female yet, but i'm guessing they will be

The day after planting the seeds i made my CS.
Bought a piece of silver from a supply store (costs almost nothing) and cut it in two pieces of about 1 x 4 Cm and not even 1mm thick (i guess). I used a 9V 540mA transformer and 250mL Demi water, the pieces of silver were about 3Cm apart. I left it on for about 10 hours (doesn't look like there is much hapening at the beginning) and when i got back to it there was a nice bundle of silver particles hanging from one of the pieces of silver. I took the silver out very carefully and was left with an almost clear fluid (some particles will fall of). I put the water in a small black plastic spraybottle and i started spraying about 2 weeks (13 days) after the plants were visable above ground.

I have used pollen that was 2+ years old.
Stored in freezer with desiccant with air removed from container pollen was in.
I have read threads here where breeders have used pollen that is over 15 years old (viability is down to like 10% after that long, but if you have enough pollen it is still plenty to make seeds)
What's Good ICMagr's
I just made my first colloidal Silver Generator.....Really Excited.
I just followed the steps on the first page of this thread, and It seems like it will work.
Well anyways I just wanted to share a few pictures on how mine turned out.
My plans, are to fem a couple strains, and do a Guerrilla grow.
Just a quick list on what's to become...
Raspberry Cough (fem seed)
Strawberry Cough (clone)
Sweet Tooth (clone)
Casey Jones (clone)
Purple Kush (clone)
Here are tha Pics...
First Two Hours...
8 Hours...
15 Hours...
24 Hours...
completed...
peace

That is really fascinating!!!! thanks all for hte time and pics etc!
quick question. have a single plant that decided to flower, its outside. it is not very big, only 10-15nodes on it. could it be done like this to pollinate itself? real question is (cause i read before that it can do itself lol, had to ask though) with so few bud sites, do the male balls "take over" the female bits? or do they grow along with, just grow in the new growth? how does that work. platn has been in lower 2 weeks, would the female flowers die off? be replaced? i just dont get this part.
thanks!

What up Gano,
You can just pollinate itself, so what will happen is, it will throw male & female flowers. The male flowers will be mixed with the female flowers and self pollinate.
It's best to use another cutting of the same female, and use the pollen from the reversed female to pollinate an all female plant.

Endur, I didn't think this process used up hardly any silver, but it appears you used up one whole wire.
Tomatoesonly,
Ya, It does appear like the wire was vaporized. But, if you look in the 2nd to last pic, there is a piece of the wire in the bottom of the glass.
I don't know why, but It dissolved the wire in one general location, & it broke off.

Endur, have you measured ppm of this CS ?
What's Good jump117,
I have not measured the ppm. I just moved, and cant find the box with all my ph/ppm/tds meters.
I have read this thread over many times, and my understanding is if the H2O2 is colored it should be good to go.
Hope It Works, find out soon enough I guess.
Peace

This never worked for me again. It produced non viable seeds that where crushed and underdeveloped. Kill the plant and with it my strain.
I need to understand one thing,maybe already discussed but the thread is very long to read it all,so forgive me
Can I use CS only on a branch and not the whole plant to let seeds form only on that branch?
Can I smoke the rest of the plant or it will be contaminated from silver becoming toxic?
I really want try to make some female seeds,but at now I have only two flowering plants I need for my own daily smoke.

Yes You Can.
COLLOIDAL SILVER DOES WORK
COLLOIDAL SILVER DOES WORK
I'm nearly at the end of my first colloidal silver trial. I recently checked out a small cola on one of my plants and found these.
FEMINIZED SEED
These seeds were just about falling out. I will harvest the main colas in a week or so when the rest of the seeds should be mature.
You can read about the whole trial in my link below.
Thanks PhenoMenal, you inspired me.
