in the tuts ive come across for making your own they usually say 'use pure silver or it will be toxic' but they are usually talking about ingesting it. would it be bad to use sterling silver to make some CS for use on the plants? or would that not work out so good?
 
I use 2 Silver Quarters, not pure Silver.
It works.
Yes, the other metals that leach out are toxic. But, you not making this for Human consumption.
Once, you collect or use the pollen. Your going to trash the plant.
I let my Solution go for 24 hours minimum. The other metals and crap falls to the bottom. Pour off the top and trash the rest.
I'm sure you can use Sterling Silver.
 
i have four strains, thats 40+ dollars if i cant find a free shipping option.. i think ill make it.

thanks ringsixty, thats what i wanted to hear!
 
It doesn't need to be pure. Think about it this way, if you're aiming for a 50ppm solution and you have 90% silver you're going to have 5ppm of impurities. If you spray 2L of the stuff on a plant over the course of reversing it that's only 10mg and it's probably something like nickel or copper which the plant actually uses. It's not like the 10% is plutonium or something.
 
dont cheap out on the quality of materials man. follow what the guides say and use pure silver. i bought 2-- 1 gram pieces for less than 12$ if i remember correctly and made over 2 liters of 30ppm CS with plenty more to be made from the silver pieces.
 
i was just wondering really. i will most likely go with pure .999 silver, however if we cannot afford it or something i have some silver quarters that i have double dates/mint marks on that i COULD use if i need too. because sometimes 12 dollars is food for a week ;)
 
so are any of yall professionals at making colloidal silver?... didnt think so.... how many are professionals at growing pot... rhetorical question....

how many times have yall done something once and it turned out perfect?....
what makes yall think it will be perfect when you make this solution?.....

why not stop being cheap asses and spend the money on a proven product then taking a short cut and making your own?

short cuts.... thats what separates the people that actually doing something in this industry and the ones that's just float.....

with a calibrated ppm meter. you stick it in the water every couple hours and wait until it says 30ppm


but honestly man. if you are tight on a budget where this cuts into food bills then i would say you shouldnt be even thinking about growing. i thought i could do everything the cheap way and it only cost me more money on useless shit + what i had to pay to get premium things that will last and are reliable. whether its a good quality ppm meter or pure silver, i wouldnt get into this realm without a legit amount of cash dedicated to this.

no offense but any mentally retarded person could make "professional colloidal silver." you attach a piece of metal and stick it in water while its connected to a battery and wait for a meter to say 30ppm. go ahead and spend 60$ everytime you want to make seeds. ill use my 15 dollar investment for the next few years.

Though I see where you're coming from, many people just dont have the money to do it right and buy all the stuff you need. I can't afford do do anything really, but I do anyhow. You just have to be determined and creative. Guns are expensive, but I like to shoot, so I have to reload. Pot is expensive, so I grow my own. It's either that or I'd have to quit.

Prodigal... a single (preferably 3) 9 volt batteries, soldered or otherwise clamped by wire to two pieces of silver (real silver american quarters work well) hanging in a glass of distilled water for a few hours will work just dandy. I have a chart somewhere that tells you how long to keep in the solution to get a desired PPM.

I'll make a note for myself to find my chart later and will PM you.
