Making Balls on a Lady

So I have been spraying a Fantasmo Express with colloidal silver. I made the silver myself after I confirmed through another website on my method. It appears that for a horticultural grade colloidal silver you can use tap water and sterling silver, since it will not be consumed the presence of alloys is of little concern and tap water actually speeds up the process because of the impurities. Yes there are lots of contaminants in the final product but I read that it works just fine. Anyway, we'll see, The plant stopped putting pistils out so it appears to be working. We're on day 4 with a schedule of 3 sprays a day. When and if I get male pollen sacs I will fertilize an Auto Ultimate and then save the pollen for an L.A. Woman photo I will be growing next in hopes I will get autos from that cross.

What does your CS look like, since you used tap water and sterling silver? Does it burn the plant?
No, it doesn't burn the plant, the plant has turned a darker green though and it is thriving. I would put up pictures but my card reader for my camera's card was destroyed (stepped on) and I am still using an old flip phone.The solution was a bluish gray, but the article I read said that was normal with tap water. The pistils are still receded or stunted and the plant is obviously reacting. It is day 9 today.

There is no new news yet. Still waiting for male flowers to show. The female flowers are definitely stunted. My other plant is flowering like crazy and stinky and this one has hardly any smell ans a lot fewer flowers..

When did you start spraying? Did you wait untill it showed preflowers before starting the spray?

I started spraying just as she started showing flowers. It was a little late according to most articles I read but, it seems to have worked very well. I have a Auto Ultimate about a week from chop on the main cola. The bottom 2 branches aren't as far along. I will chop the top and leave the bottom 2 branches and fertilize those. I have done the partial harvest before and the branches left behind thrived and matured and doubled in size, only this time their energy will go into making seed.

Do you know he ppm of your solution? I have some 10 ppm and also some 50ppm that I got from Amazon. I plan on seeding my deep blue c since they will no longer carry it once it's gone it's gone. So instead of ordering a bunch I was going to go this route.

How long after the plant showed no more pistils dis it take to see pollen.
I am doing the same thing right now, my girl is bare of all pistils for almost 2weeks, but the sacks, like the ones in your pictures are still empty ( no pollen ).
Any advice would be greatly appreciate .

This is new to me also, I am waiting to see when the male flowers mature. I have seen males before and mine are a ways off from maturity I will wait until they start opening to collect pollen. My guess is another 2 weeks

I have no idea of the ppm. I let the generator go all night. I used about a pint of water and 2 big pieces of sterling silver and 3 9V batteries in series. The solution was a light cloudy blue with lots of black flakes on the bottom and one of the pieces was black and the other was like a brown. I filtered the solution and put it in a pint spray bottle.
