Rate my colloidal silver setup

Today I'll make some colloidal silver. Last time I tried to make it it didn't go so well because it turned brown, but I think it was because of the light reaching my solution. I'll keep you posted.
The plant that I will use like a father is a very nice GDP still on veg stage but is really close to start flowering (can't know exactly because I grow outdoors). I'll show pictures when the pollen sacks start to show up!

PEACE

Planning on trying this in the future so I'm definitely interested in how it works out for you!
 
Just curious, if you are growing outside, aren't you going to have seeds from wild pollen, that would not be feminized?
 
Flockshot your cannabis plant can not get pollinated by foreign pollen. Cross pollination can only happen between varieties, not species.
 
Of course that is correct. Do you think you are the only one growing cannabis in your area? If so that is great, but everywhere in my state you can get seeds.
 
Well Flockshot , cannabis pollen can travel around 5km ratio. Is not the first time I grow in my balcony and all my harvests were without seeds, so I suppose no one is cultivating near my house.
Anyways is different in other zones in which is really common to have noob cannabis growers that have females and even males (because they don't know about pollinating and stuff, they just grow).
If you buy here some weed from a dealer, you will probably find more seeds than actually flower. The narco cultivators doesn't mind about the pollen and they just grow both sexes, for them is always money so...

Btw I live in Paraguay. The weed here is almost free (pure sativas) . It doesn't taste thaat good but sometimes you are lucky. Even though the taste is not that good, you ALWAYS get stoned. Kinda crazy. Everybody that comes from Europe or other countries with good cultivations get amazed with our stuff lol.

I prefer to cultivate known strains because I can know what i'm growing. Here the genetics are spread everywhere, a mix even with brazilian cannabis. You can have 2 plants from wild seeds from here, and one can turn awesome and the other really shitty.

PEACE
 
I noticed in your photos you are using 4, 9 volt batteries in series, so 36 volts actually supplied to the electrodes. At that voltage, without any current regulation the silver particles you make will be large and not very effective compared to solutions with a smaller particle size. Probably the reason that your solution turned brown.
 
Wow I never thought in that way growmore . Do you think is not gonna work? The thing is.. that I do not own a PPM meter so I want to be secure to have a nice ppm in my solution.
Do you think it will work by using just one 9v battery overnight? It will be enough ppm?
 
Yes one battery would be better, but for the best results you need a constant current supply to limit the current as the higher the ppm of the solution the greater the increase in particle size.
And the quicker the.reaction happens.
I would think that about 4 hours would be a good starting point.
 
So it's been already 10 days that i'm spraying CS to this lady. Still not noticing ball forming, it is something wrong or I have to wait more? thanks!

I've read the whole thing in GWE. And actually the girls doesn't have to look too healthy, I think is kinda normal to look like that until they reach to form the ball sacks. All other pictures this far look similar at this point (I think). Check it up.
Thanks!
 
It may take longer for your plant to show pollen sacks. I don't usually spray plants until they have started flowering. As you are growing outside she may not be ready to start flowering yet. Colloidal silver will not make a plant flower, only change the sex of the flowers.
 
Hello Lpro27, is it very expensive to live in Paraguay? How much USA dollars a month for a nice a 3 bedroom apartment? Is there alot of killer snakes down there?, good places to go swimming too ? Thanks
