In these times of inflated equities and commodities I am looking for a reasonable source of .999 pure silver. I have never made colloidal silver before, but am wondering if there is an economical source for this. I find some jewelry wire on Amazon, but am wondering if this will hold up in the process. The Canadian coins are just getting too pricey. Also would junk silver .90 be usable in this process?

As someone who is actually semi-familiar with this process and how it all works, and some of the reasonings why you may want colloidal silver... That being said let me just shoot you off the basics of everything, if someone else wants they can fill in all the blanks here for you. When making the colloidal silver, it is the opposite process of electroplating, in electroplating we have the metal(s) suspended in the liquid to then make them attach to the piece we are working on, thus adding metal to the piece. When making colloidal silver however you are then taking the metal and suspending it into the water, thus removing it from the piece you are working with. Now if you use a lesser purity of silver, you will then have a lesser purity of colloidal silver, now depending on what you need it for maybe that matters or maybe it doesn't matter so much... That is something I can't speak to, I just know you will get exactly what you put into the process as the metal purity will remain the same, it's just a matter of what you are doing with it will depend on if the purity of the silver is going to matter, over having say perhaps more tin or some other metal mixed in with it.
Which reminds me of something I was reading recently on composting, as they were discussing the minerals and metals absorbed by a plant during its lifetime will in turn be there in the plant until it is either burned and released or composted and released back to the earth. Thus if you had for an example, aluminum absorbed by a plant you then smoked it, you would thus get aluminum in the smoke, which is then known to do whatever else inside the human body. Colloidal silver has been used going back 100+ years for medicine, and as far as I've always known I wanted .999% silver for that reasoning... Looking at it from a medical point, they now have learned viruses such as Herpes 1 & 2,, and they even believe the HIV virus actually survive in the body by hiding in the feet of the body where heavy metals collect, as it gives the virus a place to hide from the antibiotics and things that would kill it, as the metal then in turn kills what would kill it. So they are now looking at this with a hope of finally being able to kill such viruses and things within the body, and that opened my eyes to the seriousness of heavy metals in the human body.
So while I know I haven't answered your question directly as you may have hoped I would, I suspect you are going to use colloidal silver to force a plant to make female seeds by this process, and so I do not know if the amount of silver is overly important... but I am aware of other ways to accomplish the same end without having to use metals to do it.The only way to become the a good at anything is to read about it and learn all you can about it, and if it's something you love why not become an expert in it? The best place for anyone to start is at the beginning and make sure we didn't overlook anything, so let's go back to the basics.

Hoover & Strong, Richmond, VA should have it in several forms. Wire, sheet, casting grain, etc Also known as "fine silver". Commonly used for vitreous enamel.Comment

I know when I was looking into making my own spray to make feminized seeds, I just found this was a much cheaper and more cost effective route, I have never tried anything else, so this is all I can tell you about what else might work for you. You will note they have a couple videos on YouTube there about it as well as all the information relating to this product and its proper use to produce feminized seeds:

SILVERCLEANSE is a company in the UK that sells either 30 or 45 ppm. Collodial silver. It cost me apppx £30 for 2.5 liters. Sprayed every day for 2 weeks from switch to 12/12. Boy did well and still producing. NOT FOR SMOKING! I got the 45ppm........just to make sure.Attached FilesComment

This looks incredible! Would it be okay with you if I published this picture with your comments to our article about feminization with colloidal silver? -
That is an amazing photo. I have never actually seen pollen sacs before as i have only grown from clones or feminized seeds. Nice to see what they actually look like, and the photo will take magnification for a closer look see. I think the 45 ppm may be overkill. You've got balls to the walls. -
If you like pictures of male plants in bloom, you might like this one. It shows how the pollen sacs open up to make these pretty little flowers when they spill all the pollen! With some plants the pollen sacs are vibrant colors like purple, but usually they're green, just like female buds

Hi Nebula,
yes by all means, it would be a pleasure.
I'll try to update you on my pollination next.
Thanks everyone.Comment

There is a product monikered California Cleanse which would certainly be overkill at 300 ppm, and very pricey at $44.00 a 4 ounce bottle. I suppose you could dilute it with distilled water.
I think I will just go the silver wire route on Amazon for $11.00 with shipping. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2UO74JNVKM0Z9

Ok 45ppm maybe overkill but I'd rather be safe than sorry. The 45 cost no more than the 30 for 2.5liters so I'm sure you'll be able to source some over there.
To me what you are trying to achieve is I believe crucial. Therefore why possibly wasting your time and money would you bother? I bet if you searched hard enough you'd pay less than 40 bucks.
Thinking about turning a gorilla glue next time but not sure what to cross with.................. all suggestions welcome!Comment

I did find this 32 ounce bottle of colloidal silver on Amazon for a reasonable price. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZWNQRD...K32REBFX1&th=1
120 ppm though so it probably should be diluted. I am wondering should I dilute with just distilled water or should I de-ionize (degas) the distilled water first?Last edited by starramus; 03-23-2017, 05:41 AM.Comment

Good luck. For some reason I think your getting your ppm's mixed up with ppt's.....or that could be pmt's depending.
IM no chemist...... But I would not suspect anyone would be selling that kind of content if it were used for legal stuff........ I don't think the maths are correct.Comment

That is exactly it when dealing with Ebay & Amazon, sure you save money... but in the end are you really getting what you pay for? Sometimes you don't get what you pay for and they claim you will get and when it comes to things like chemicals and sprays and such... how do you know I didn't use the product up, refill with water and sell it? Perhaps that is just me hearing so many people getting burned with enough purchases...
