i have 2 weak plants, ive have just started spraying twice a day with 20ppm on one small area, how long does it take until male flowers usually form? also how long until they are mature enough to produce viable pollon?
Colliodial silver, how long till male flowers?

I dont think 20 ppm will be strong enough.
I have tried other brands, but the ONLY one that has worked for me (every time) is Tiresias Mist.
Take a clone, spray it once a day for 7 days. Then flip to 12/12 and continue spraying another 7-10 days. You will have viable pollen withing 2 weeks of that.

ok, thanks for a clear instruction, one more thing tho, when the male flowers shows do I stop spraying or keep spraying?

You can stop spraying after you see flowers. And I agree, 20 ppm isnt enough. I run 100oom. The flower development can vary. Usually 3 weeks.

I spray them 4 times a day, since its soo weak, idk if that makes up for the weak spray but I just ordered 40ppm. so imma try it, also gotta get more seeds, for more genetics, but last time I ordered seeds they were really small and kinda weak looking. I had 5 seeds and one germinated. but imma order more and hope it works out better.

Why not just make your own?

ive considered that too, but I need pure silver, and I don't really know what im doing, I suppose if I get all the stuff and lay it out in front of me I could.
Usually takes 3-4 weeks. You have to use 30+ PPM silver (preferably 40+).
99.999 silver is relatively cheap. I bought a small CS making kit from Amazon for $70 which included the silver. I could have made my own, but I was lazy.
I can make a quart of 40 PPM silver for literally pennies, whereas buying it in my area is $50 for less than 250 mL.

It's really simple. Getting silver isnt much of a problem, you can get a Quarter older than 1963, and cut it in two, this will give you silver. Or, you can get one of those commemorative ounce things, mine was of the pope. I got it for a 20.
As far as the machine goes, it's very straightforward. Get a power supply from a printer or similar. You want between 24 and 30 volts. If you have a speaker around, you can find the polarity (the + and the - ) easily. Strip the two wire ends from the power supply, don't cross them, and plug the supply into the wall outlet. Touch the wire leads to the speaker terminals. If the speaker jumps out, you have the positive wire connected to the positive speaker terminal. You can do the same thing with a household battery. Works great when dealing with a radio. Get an LED of the same voltage, and wire it in on the positive line. There is a scientific reason for the LED, it's way over my head for explaining, but it works. Anyways. Connect the positive line with the LED to an alligator clip. Clip one piece of the silver to the clip. Take the negative wire from the power supply, and run it to the other alligator clip, and clip it to the other piece of silver.
You will need a glass basin, fill with distilled water. It has to be distilled, again, go ask a scientist why, I dont know. My nanners work so whatever. "N-Y how... Attach one clip with silver to opposite sides of the basin so that the silver pieces are under the water and NO PART of the alligator clips or wires, or any other thing comes into contact with the water, or your silver.
Plug it in, and you should have something strong enough to spray in a week or so.
Use a couple coffee filters to filter out the crud that will be created as a byproduct of this very simple operation.
