Yayyy! My first colloidal silver generator (photo)

Thanks. Just to clarify when it is done evaporating there should be 1/3 left in the bottle correct?

Right :yes:

Also I assume heat might be bad, like if I set it on a radiator?

If we are talking of pure CS (only H2O and Ag) heat will do nothing but evaporate the water.
I'm not sure 100%, but silver is a metal that do not evaporate with such low temperature. I mean, water at standard pressure can arrive around 100°C. For the silver, 100°C are nothing. They are not enough to modify its form.

Give it a try. Take some CS and heat it.
Read ppm value before and after the evaporation. If everything worked you should read 3x ppm value after the evaporation.
Observe the CS too. It should look similar after the evaporation of the solven, or maybe, a little more colored, but still clear.

Last question is, I think I read you can treat just one part of a plant and have success without drenching the whole plant. True?

I spray only on flowers and it works. Don't know if spraying only a flower will result in a reverse of only that flower, but I think yes. Ag acts locally for what I understood.

For what I observed, the first ''male'' balls appeared on the main cola, followed by other bud-sites.

I'm not so sure about the evaporation trick ... part of me says "yes it'll evaporate some of the H2O, so the resulting mix will have a higher PPM" ... but at the same time you're not actually producing any extra colloidal silver ... it's more like you're just creating a mixture where you only need to spray 8 times instead of 10 simply because it's a bit richer

... just thinking out loud though! I could be wrong, and this thread is all about experiments, trial, error, and advancements, so it's ideas like this that should always be encouraged :)

How long after you see the change can you stop spraying ?

This is my snowryder auto iv been spraying about 3x`s a day for a couple weeks now and i can see the change

Can i stop spraying her now or do i need to keep on ?

She is not the prettiest lol

Thanks in advance fellas

Its pure water and silver, yes, ill throw it on the radiator and see whats up. ppm is the amount in a solution so it should work fine as any other does, I just wont have alot of it is all. I wasnt sure if the heat would mess it up to evaporate faster but thanks.

Thanks H.C

Is it best to just spray the whole plant like at every node and tops or would it be best to just spray top nodes / tops so when the tops hermi the female pollen will fall on the un sprayed buds underneath it all ?

I spray the entire plant. It does not hermi, that's different, the entire plant changes sex.

To get the pollen out I cut the she/male heads off when I reckon they're ready and put them through a grinder.

THEN BRUSH THIS STUFF ON TO ITS MUM...SO THE DAUGHTER FUCKS ITS MUM

THE END RESULT IS FEMINISED SEED...THESE WERE ALL VIABLE AND I HAVE MANY MORE

They can only be female...there are no xy chromosomes in the mix.

They will be and are identical to the original mother...guaranteed.

High Country, it's too easy it should be illegal :) (growing cannabis is illegal... this is easier)
Congratulations mate on yet another successful feminisation, lots of very nice viable seeds there, and enjoy all those buds that'll come as a result of wasting ZERO time germinating males!!!!!! :) :)

Its not a massive yield of seeds, but having said that its pretty much the same amount of beans I usually ended up with from feminised beans... for whatever reason, feminised beans are just much harder to produce in bulk quantity.

So, it seems we still have much to learn in regards to perfecting the production of feminised seeds in regards to being optimised for seed output ... but for us casual home growers, we've already got what I would say is a perfect solution, which already produces more than enough feminised beans for us :)

Correct....it works.

In addition to this, I sifted grinded bananas through a sieve to separate the coarse fiber from pure pollen.

New update:

today are passed 25 days in wich I sprayed the plant's flowers at least once a day (sometimes twice).
Initially the plant was already in flowering phase for 15/20 days.

At now I still can't see opened bananas or any pollen, you can just see (in the picture below) some opening balls and some young banana. I think in a few days I'll se the first pollen.

They look nice N.R

So after the plant changes sex you have to collect the fem pollen off it or will it sex itself

My auto snowryder finally changed and has balls all over it but their seems to be barely any flowers for her to sex herself

Some look very mature, so that one day they are ready.

They may not open up so wide like a real male.

I removed the mature one by one with tweezers.

Give them a chance to open naturally, but if they dont, simply gently open each pod up with a pin or tweezers etc to expose the feminised pollen. Don't worry, this isn't uncommon in regards to feminised pods.

Looking for successes.

When you did this, how many seeds did it produce per plant,,,, 10s100s, or 1000s?

When your grew them, were they like the mother, like a clone, or were they more of a full genetic spectrum like the whole 'strain', with different Pheno's occurring?

I expect this has been answered in the previous 88 pages, but i'm looking for current info/results. Thx for the indulgence, and please pardon my laziness.
