Started spraying about 2 weeks ago I think... Maybe a little more. Just stopped. yesterday was the last since these were spotted.

I've only done this once and didn't document very well. I believe the pistals turn brown on the sprayed sight first. This should happen fairly soon. (1-2 weeks) Then maybe another week after that pollen should be falling.

Is that the only sight you treated?

Did you make your own Colloidal Silver, or buy it in ...more details please

Yea I read about the pistils turning brown as well... I removed the plant from the grow room so it doesn't pollinate everything and ruin future crops.
Also, the entire plant was treated, but that branch more than the others because after a little bit of treatment with nothing happening, I just did that one for a while, but then started doing the entire plant again when it began to look crappy from the first few sprays.

Nahman, I Didn't make it myself. Too much work when its's so cheap to buy. About a third of this bottle was used to force pollen sacs on this female and that pollen should be able to produce hundreds of seeds. They say to use a lower ppm but the 50ppm one mixed with a little water didn't do anything so I just jumped to the strongest one and figured it can b diluted if necessary, but it didn't need to be.

TBH when people give ppm's suggestions, they usually leave out exactly how much of the solution to use which renders the ppm number practically useless.....

If you spray 50ppm cs (5 sprays) onto one leaf, and 1 spray of 250ppm spray no another, and let them both evaporate, since the silver isn't evaporating, it make sense that the same amount of silver should be on/absorbed by the leaf doesn't it? If anyone knows anything confirming or challenging that, feel free to post it.

Did you spray the leaves or the stem right below the bud sites?

Everything got sprayed, but I did aim at the nodes where the buds/preflowers start to form.

I need to purchase some of this to make fem seeds. Never done it before. Should I get the 240ppm or 50ppm? Thanks

My tiresias mist says to mist the chosen branch once a day for 14-21 days. I'm a little medicated and reading that you sprayed everything made me bust up. It should work fine Hazy.

Hey, no problem. I'd pick up the 240ppm and just fill a spray bottle with about a third of it, and use it straight up. Not sure if it going into the soil makes a difference..... Colloidal silver IS supposed to be antimicrobial but it ruins the plant parts it gets on so it very well might ruin the roots.... Don't worry too much just tilt the pot when you spray it. it lets you get under the leaves onthe budsites as well.

I'm curious what the Tiresias Mist spray's ppm is and if it's just pure colloidal silver solution with water. and smhhhh......lol

It doesn't say the ppm of course.

One more question. What is the optimum time of flower to begin spraying? Im thinking ~2 weeks into flowering????

If you are working with an auto, start spraying as so a s you see preflowers. Don't wait until you have little puff ball flowers formed already.

Before I made my seeds I called the people over at tiresias mist. They told me to start misting when the auto is 6 inches tall. TBH I think there is a good size window to mist.

Okay! Thanks Y'all I'm going to give it a go this spring on my white widow auto from Dinafem. Love this strain but dont love the high prices of their seeds.

It's not difficult. Just wait until you have a shit load of seeds. I'll give you my address later brutha. Hehe.

Hey I dont mind sharing the love if it works.

Ya, you can, and probably want to, start spraying sooner if you are using a lower ppm vs a higher one since it is apparently harmful to the plant and starting with a really small plant at 240 might not allow it to grow very big at all if it doesn't die altogether by the time you are able to stop spraying due to seeing balls.
