making colloidal silver solution first time

Little up date on the colloidal silver application I did. I kinda gave up on it nothing seemed to happen the 1 bottom limb I treated for a test went on budding normally for weeks. then the other day was rotating some plants and that bud did look different. it had a bunch of flower looking pods trying to open on the very small bud the size of a quarter. I clipped it and put it under a scope looked under developed stunted no pollen any were as I pick open other pods nothing. In fact that whole plant had issues stunted from a high ph early on in the budding cycle. got it back down but never bounced back all the leafs yellowed early on the whole plant at once. yield will be about 3/4 of a oz when I have averaged about 2 1/2 oz per plant so far. anyway so much for my experiment.

what i did is used my ppm meter and stopped once the solution was at 30ppm(i used distilled water). you need to cover the whole plant wetting it really well once a day everyday a week before flower and a week into it. thats how i did it and it worked perfectly for me.

thank you Mreduck for that insight , I have another question on safety since reading more . Seems a difference in opinion from different treads on the subject of using any bud off plants treaded with sc . I have treaded some lower limbs on a couple plants, does that mean I should not use the buds that are on top of that plant ? If that's the case may as well treat the whole plant and get as much pollen to store for latter it would seem. Nobody wants to waste good bud but safety is more important for sure.

People consume more colloidal silver in one sitting to combat colds than I would use for 20 plants.
If a branch never got spray on it, it is totally safe.


I recommend not trying to self a plant, meaniung pollinate just one branch in hopes of pollinating the others.

I spray the whole plant to make sure.

For my next run:

I am going to take two clones and veg them for a couple weeks. Then I am going to start spraying one whole plant for a week.

Then I move it to a 12/12 room and continue spraying for 1-2 weeks. This way the plant can catch up after being slightly stunted by the transformation. When I feel like the trannie is ready, usually about 10 days later, I put the plants I want pollinated in the 12/12 room.

The trannie then gets a 1-2 week head start. It is fine if pollen shows up before a plant is ready to accept it, it will keep kicking it out. My tiny room will get dusty will pollen.

Take the trannie out of the room about 4-6 weeks before you plan on picking the seeded plant so you do not get under developed seeds.

I let the seeded bud go way past ripe, to the point of the seeds falling out of the buds. The bud material is almost useless at this point and I toss it.



Save some pollen so you can selectively pollinate branches of later grows.
