CS is expensive.
Get some distilled water, a car battery charger, some wire, and a silver coin, then make your own.

Most places that carry CS have it in 20-30ppm . 50ppm will work a lot better.
Pet stores will have it ,
If your just breaking ground with your seeds, you have lots of time to make your own.

Yo can also make your own. It is cheaper in the long run if you plan on reversing alot.
Str8 from the bottle? How oftern are you spraying? I use 8oz of the CS to 24 oz of distilled water. 32 oz of reversing spray. Only takes me 4-6 ozs to turn a plant.
I start spraying 2xday a week before flip, keep spraying 1xday until I see the first sac open.

Understood, dilute or undiluted works. I just use less CS by diluting it. They will turn regardless. Some strains turn sooner tho with stronger ppms cs.

Probably too late to help you now but the STS method is more reliable and only requires spraying a couple times.

well the plan was 5 female gorilla glue---turn 1 and make a few seed on another plant--also i have 2 girl scout cookies autos and i am spraying 1 of them --to make a few seed --i think i see a few balls in a lower bud of the girl scout cookies so it may be a girl scout cookie crossed with gorilla glue--- all 7 are sharing the same home----a girl scout gorilla glue cookie!!!
Here's an Amazon source https://amzn.to/2AXhAgD of plain colloidal silver. I use a mixture of sodium thiosulfate and silver nitrate. Make sure you do not smoke or ingest any treated plant.

I've read up on the sts in a few threads here, you are in some of those threads. Once my CS runs out, I'm gonna give the sts a shot. Didn't see any mention of how many times to spray it. I did see it mentioned it doesn't take nearly as much spraying as CS. I'll admit, I didn't dig thru all the meat of the the threads. Just mainly how to make it and the precautions when mixing it.
As well as a few links to source it.
I don't make very many seeds. I'd like to keep stock solutions of A& B refrigerated and make small batches of sts as needed.
I only spray a branch. Don't need to turn a whole plant unless it's a solo clone.
Any suggestions as to how much to make in a small batch to turn a branch or two?

You can reduce the quantities of chemicals in proportion to make smaller batches. I spray two days in a row and then once again in a week. Be very careful where you spray as the solution will stain things purple.
Good luck.

quick question, from a couple diff recipes Ive found on site, all claiming success. By my math I get 1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon per qt of 500ppm CS. Does that sound about right? Realizing thats a higher than usual number to begin with on the ppm, diluted down to approximately 100, give or take. I read 50 a lot, but also see folks having it a bit stronger with success also. Just curious, thanks
