Any idea on the shelf life on an un-opened bottle of the brand you use Toker?
I got the same brand you have.I was unexpectedly given a batch of White Widow's,so that kind of put my seed project on the back burner for now.

Hi Toker,
I am still following and caught up today. Can't wait to see those lil' pollen sacs forming. The plant doesn't look any worse for wear, so it's doing great and being good to you.

The last bottle I bought lasted one year almost exactly.

Don't try to refrigerate it buddy.

The strong magnetic fields inside a refrigerator break down the CS fast.

A dark, and cool place is best.

Cool! Yeah I was reading your journal today also.

I was kinda surprised you weren't going to be self pollinating that fruit auto.

Those Colloidal Silver induced pollen sacs always come on suddenly.

The plant looks kinda weird, and then almost overnight sacs are everywhere.

My HBD is looking good too. It getting way bigger than I expected.

It's my first time growing out this strain tho.

Thanks for stopping by you two!!

Toker, hello. How long after sacs form do you see viable pollen produced. Im getting empty cracked pollen sacs. Granted its not the store bought Cs u have detailed here,but my own homemade cs from B.I.D.s thread. I have balls but no pollen! . My cs read 36 after it was "generated" so im hoping it was strong enough. Anyone else with a time for pollen to be produced(how long does it take the plant sprayed to create pollen once balls are formed) are welcome to chime in also. Im just trying to get a general time idea.

Stay frosty,

Making seeds is kinda addictive tho.

It's so much fun packing away hundreds, or even thousands of female seeds.

Especially since seed banks charge so much for them.

It's kinda a rush! lol

A rush indeed!! i get excited thinking about it everytime...all giddy like a little kid lol.

reason why: i just bought a couple afghan kush ryder seeds for 17$USD each and some 60 day wonders for this CS project to do after the current...anyways

if i made 100*17= $1700 dollars saved

1000*17= $17,000 saved

5000*17= 85,000 saved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

YES I SEE WHY YOU MAY GET A RUSH!!

im waiting to get my first rush of seeds!



ohhhh almost forgot through my excitment thanks B.I.D. for the link and Tokes for the help as well!!

Yeah I spray the Colloidal Silver every day until the first sacs open.

I've seen in some threads where they recommend spraying 12, or 14 days.

Or they say to stop spraying after visible sacs form.

I keep going until they pop open.

But The first sacs that open don't always have the best pollen.

Don't give in I'm sure pollen is on it's way.

That's one reason I don't recommend going the CS generator route.

And I like to recommend a reputable Colloidal Silver vendor.

I can't really diagnose all the problems that could possibly occur making your own Colloidal Silver.

Also I like a PPM of CS that usually higher than can be obtained by your average home generator.

Strains are all slightly different in the effectiveness of the Colloidal Silver spray.

A higher PPM applied properly seems to overcome any stubborn strain.

Yeah seeds prices are pretty ridiculous.

Anything related to growing cannabis is pretty much over priced in general tho.

All thanks to prohibition, and high black market pricing.

Somehow we can grow beautiful strawberries, or tomatoes at under a dollar a pound.

Yet grow a pound of cannabis, and it costs you hundreds, and it's worth thousands.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

ok I had to go back and read through again check when you started spraying how often and where
hope this 30ppm stuff is good and works I will order the 240 ppm and do the thing you did when I can
until then ill use up this 30 ppm started spraying the appointed plant yesterday and will
follow your steps and just spray nodes from today also leaving it out to dry before I stick it back under the lights

That 8 oz bottle you bought should do the trick.

Once a day is usually enough.

I do like a higher PPM, but I've seen many people have success with 30, and even 10 PPM.

I think it has a lot to do with the strain you're working with, and the age of the Colloidal Silver.

An old expired batch of CS might have lost it's zip, and leave you wondering why it's not working.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

i made some 40ppm CS last night for the first time using B.I.Di's method with great success.

I posted it in my auto flower journal if anyone is interested...

just wanna take a sec to say THANKS Toker69 for the help info and inspiration and to BID as well.......thanks guys!!!

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

Today the plants are now approximately 30 days old.

Plant 06 is on day 11 of Colloidal Silver spraying.

The plants health seems somewhere between good to excellent.

It's now reached a height of 17 inches.

No signs of pollen sacs yet, but I expect to see some changes within the next week.

Pistils are popping out everywhere as the newly forming buds develop.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

ok i got it i guess...............................
i’m so high on this veeeeery nice pakistan polk, boy, i love it!!!!!!!!

this sprayed plant is very healthy for sure, i would love to try this technic myself and have 99%female seeds. even on some photoperiod plants that i want to keep longer than mother plants can be.

have a nice day Toker.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

Thanks ecdriver!

And thanks for subscribing to all three of my journals.

And the REPS!!

This journal is the only one I'm working on now tho.

You should try it! Photoperiod female plant seeds are awesome too!

Colloidal Silver feminizing is a really great tool for auto growers tho, because of the high price of seeds.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

very nice. did you do something to promote all that branching? could it be the small container?

This is the first time I've tried himalayan blue diesel, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect.

The LED is also new to me, but I do think I'll move it in closer on my next round of feminized seed making.

The distributor of this LED recommends 24 inches from the tops, but many of the other users have gone much closer.

I think they all have stretched quite a bit trying to reach better light.

All three of the ladies are getting larger than expected, but the one I'm spraying with Colloidal Silver is by far the largest.

It's said by many growers that autos in small containers have stunted growth.

My Rose Buckets are 1.7 real gallons. (not trade gallons)

The Rose Buckets are a pretty adequate size for my growing space, and the type of autos I like to grow.

These three girls are filling up my whole space tho, and normally I could grow 12 full size dwarf autos.

Hey Brotha Id like to thank you for all the help on the cs following your thread is a good knowledge base
and Brotha BID had the good dyi on it I like your way better tho I don't have to mess about and watch anything lol
maybe one day ill make if im so inclined lol

on another note all the autos ive grown was in hydro and none of my plants ever looked like the little Christmas tree plants they show
that grows from the seed
just a thought fyi oh yea on another note all the autos im talking about is 60 day wonder except
the auto bomb I tried but I didn't give it 18/6 for a few weeks like I did the 60dw
did it make a diff I believe it did but they were different strains the auto bomb yielded less than 7 grams lol
12/12 from sprout the min I got on any of the 60 dw was 22 grams highest just above 40
all the 60dw did get a few weeks of 18/6

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

Yeah because I grow in my bedroom I don't really have a set light schedule.

It pretty much runs on 16/8 tho because I like to get my eight hours sleep.

I keep some pretty regular hours tho, and simply flip a master switch at bedtime, and on when I wake up.

Re: How to Make Feminized Seeds with Colloidal Silver - Sponsored by Intelligent-Gro

set up a timer M8, even if it is not 100% needed with autos, plants love regularity.
just my opinion tho...
