Here's mine going now. Does it look pretty normal?

I don't currently have an air stone. I'm going to check the PPM........ I got .007

What are we looking for? 25-30??

I failed with the timer and only let it get to 011 then shut it down. I'll do another run today and time it the whole way through.

AKRs - There's always a jackass in the group. I've had one of these before from the same lot of seeds. It ended up growing out fine so I'll let it go.

So far the top left plant will be getting the Berry pollen.

One of the two on the right will get hit with CS.

Just thought I would share. If I remember right, it's called a Poly.....something or another.

So after adjusting these from 2" apart to 1/2" apart and after 5 hrs 30 mins, I had a reading of 16 ppm.

So is the idea to get the silver just far enough to not create the above flakes? The jar is turned in this picture making it look like the two wires are touching in the middle. They are not.

i think your amps are too high ........ you want around 3-5 volts but milliamps like a cell phone charger ..... you can use anything really but the less amps you have the smaller the particles ....... what amps is the pack at ?

if you get the amps right 3 hours should be 20 - 20+ ppm

also to help save the silver youre gonna wanna switch the wires to the other polarity since really only one side is going through electrolysis so they both get eaten evenly ...... not just one

try and get them as close together as possible without touching ... after the water gets a bit of color to it it really starts to speed up

You actually don't want the wires that close. You want them between 1-4" apart. And the water shouldn't be cloudy when finished, because all of those visible particles are larger, and don't work as well on permeating the plant cells. Finished colloidal silver should look identical to water.

The goal with making your own cs, is to do it slowly, with lowish power, to create the tiniest particles possible. Your cs shouldn't have a bunch of "debris" settling to the bottom of the jar, even after sitting for several weeks.

CS goes from Clear->Amber(but still not cloudy)->Murky Grey based on how big the particles are.
The silver that you can see with the naked eye, is most likely just going to sit on your plant's surface, and possibly suffocate it as it builds up.

There has been a fair amount of controversy in the public literature concerning the appearance of the "yellow" color. A lot of well meaning people have told me that "yellow is bad", "silver isn't yellow", "yellow is sulfur contamination", "yellow is iron contamination", and lots of other things. I finally found what I believe to be the answer to this question in a book titled Practical Colloid Chemistry, published in London in 1926. In the section on the "Colours of Colloidal Metals", sub-section on the "Polychromism of silver solutions" on page 69, I found the following statements: "The continuous change in colour from yellow to blue corresponds to a change in the absorption maximum of the shorter to longer wave-lengths with a decreasing degree of dispersion. This is a general phenomenon in colloid chemistry illustrating the relation between colour and degree of dispersion." This section goes on to describe the colors that show up in a wide variety of colloidal metal solutions. Interestingly, they ALL have a yellow phase.

An excellent indicator of the quality of colloidal silver is the color. As the size of each silver particle gets larger, the color of the solution ranges from clear to yellow to red to brown to gray and black.

i agree if " medical grade / something being consumed by a human" was being made but since its being sprayed on a plant it doesnt have to be spot on ........ my first batch i ran i used well water out of my tap ......... plant still flipped ........ ran it 3 hours and i had to cut the solution down with more water before spraying it on my plants

Update; WEEK 8 1/2
Never been so excited to see balls before!!...Well at least she balls anyway.
One day nada, three days later bam balls all over selected Berry Ryder branch.
Moved both BR and AKR into iso tent by themselves...
Let it start raining pollen on my seed mamas..
For you HighLowGrow - Will soon have pure 2nd generation BR seeds plus AKR x BR = BERRY KUSH RYDER

Hell ya congrats.... I was trying to beat you to the BKRs. lol

This is some Berry pollen I collected today. I will have a fem AKR ready to receive this pollen in 2-3 weeks. Yeehaw. Exciting stuff for sure.

Pill bottle just pushed into the corner with the lid off so things can dry out. I'll be using this soon. Anything else I should be doing to/with the pollen?

I'll be collecting more in the next week.
