I have yet to find a plabt I couldn't reverse, have had a few reverse but with sterile pollen :( making your own CS is the best way, cheapest, and sure fire way to get it right! Also it needs to be mentioned while spraying with CS twice a day cut back on the watering of plant, keep it moist and let it get almost dry before watering again as spraying will be enough.... I personally got tired of mucking around with CS and since have started using STS, SO MUCH easier, spray once and thab again in like 10days and that's it! Though he cautioned STS is toxic and dangerous use safety while using, don't get on your skin, wear goggles, gloves and a face mask and be warned what ever that spray hits it's going to dye it brown, so best done outside.... Also when ordering the two needed chemicals Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulafate not to ever order both chemicals from the same seller... Best place I've sourced the needed stuff was on eBay...$30 total and you'll have enough to make STS for YEARS to come!
So there is options out there, way the pros and cons of each and whatever you decide don't buy CS it's just plain ridiculous when it can be made so damn easily it should be a crime to sell the stuff :(

I have heard sts works much better. I am just a little nervous about doing amateur chemistry. Why the need to order from different sellers?

I would start the plant you are reversing in 12/12 about two weeks before the plant you are pollinating. It takes some time to reverse, and you want to make sure that your plant isn't too far along in flowering to produce seeds. Make sure you spray about twice a day. I am getting ready to do it myself. It has been a few years since I tried it. Not all plants will reverse with colloidal silver.

Good point. Having an available girl ready to accept pollen is critical. Also you might want to try higher ppm than 10, at least 30 ppm was suggested and my "sources" tell me that's a good idea. Good luck.

Nice hermit, id actually lost my bookmark for that vendor lol, the 240ppm is the same price and will stretch farther, i meausred it with a TDS and found ot was actually a little under (220ppm), nothing drastic though.


Ive had results spraying C99 once daily, but NO other strain ive ever tried to reverse worked as easily. I even tried to reverse some random cookie crosses a few months back, and found more frequent spraying gave me pollen vs higher concentration (over 130ppm) which just burned the shit out of them

I will also say, if I could conveniently get CS with higher than 30ppm I would most certainly do it. 30 ppm seems to be the bare minimum and even then, as I said before, I have had sterile pollen on several occassions. Not sure if higher ppm would have made a difference on those strains, but it very well may have.
