economical source of .999 silver?

[PigSquishy]

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...

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.

Think I'll go whole hog and degas. I have erlenmeyer flasks I use in my sonoluminescence experimentation.

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?

Which Gorilla Glue? #4? How about something potent, but completely unrelated? White Russian is killer weed.

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!

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

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

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.

Hi Nebula,
yes by all means, it would be a pleasure.

I'll try to update you on my pollination next.

Thanks everyone.

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?

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.

[starramus]

Danke I will check it out.

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:
