@amos, laugh yep, I know what you mean. But I consider it to be "skunk" like. It doesn't smell good until you really know what it represents, then it smells GREAT. I love the smell of skunk now.

@gabechihua, yep the MBi Neutriceuticals brand, 30ppm colloidal silver. Just pay attention because the workers might try to give you the wrong stuff if you ask for it. They have something else, not colloidal silver, that is really close to it.
I have seen people recommend much higher concentrations, but this has worked just fine for me every time.

Thanks, amigo - I'm on it. I should have been on it long ago.

I use colloidal silver from GNC. There are GNC's all over the place in my area. The bottle is just about 30 bucks. Spray it each morning for a few days before flipping to 12/12 then for about a week after flower and then sit back and wait. Within a few more weeks pollen pods will be bursting all over.

Thank you althor. Great info

Good to hear your success, Gabe.The CS from GNC didn't work for me, may have been the strain, I've heard some don't like changing sex. I ended up making my own and it worked great.

Thanks, but it was altor that had the success not me I've never used colloidal silver. Yeah, some strains are stubborn I guess. Swerve says in his Green Crack description that it took him two years to get it to reverse. I think if I had a cut that didn't reverse I would probably try doubling down on the CS the next try and spray it for a longer duration to see if that would do the trick.

Was that an easy process Adro? Mind sharing a little tutorial?

Yea, it wasn't real hard.

Tools:
- Mason Jar or similar glass container.
- (2) Pieces of Silver (Doesn't have to be pure .999% Silver unless being consumed. Sterling .925% is fine for reversing.)
- 12v AC Power Adapter (I used an old cell phone charger I found lying around here, the ones like a little cube you plug in the wall.)
- Alligator Clips (The ones you can connect wires to. Like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31t01Q8XiPL._SY300_.jpg)
- Distilled Water (Doesn't work with tap water, turns all black)

Steps:
1. Fill jar with water about an inch from the top.
2. Take your power supply and snip the end off opposite where you plug it in the wall. Split the positive and negative apart, strip the ends so there is wire exposed, then attach each wire to an alligator clip.
3. Take your Positive alligator clip, and use it to attach a piece of silver to the rim of the jar. The silver should be submerged but not the clip.
4. Attach the negative clip the same way, about an inch from the positive.
5. When you plug it and look closely, you should be able to see a little cloud of silver starting to fall off your pieces. A flashlight helps.
6. I left it plugged in for 8 hours, wiped off the crud that builds up on the silver, then left it for 8 more just to be sure.
7. From what I remember, I left it in the dark to do it's thing. Also supposed to store it in a cool, dark place when finished.

Hope that helps.

Edited: The Silver I used was from Michaels Arts and Crafts. It's in the beading section and it's a brand called 'Sterling Elegance' it will say .925 in the upper right corner. Don't get the 'Silver Elegance', that stuff is just plated. http://www.cousin.com/Assets/Package-Images/2949406.jpg

Use a cheap laser pointer and shine it through the solution. When your red line is fatter than an 1/8th of an inch, you have a good concentration of colloidal silver.
The more silver in the solution, the fatter and brighter the red line.
You can also use those large 9v batteries. The only problem is they are only good for one application.

First time using CS Amos?
It will be, yes....GNC shipped the CS last week. If it works, everything changes. Preserving a favorite smoke by putting it in dozens of tiny little girl beans to pop whenever needed.

Why is this only just occurring to me? :eyesmoke: I'll have to find another berry goji, another lime sherbet chernobyl....sure wish I'd have taken a cut of the nearly finished cheese candy.....have a couple of clones ea of 3 solos stash, chuckys bride, and 2 ea of 2 phantom cookies and fat martys [fat grape cheese], so if I get the hang of it, there could be more trannies here than.....okay, sorry, I'm just not versed enough in trannyville to finish that joke....a little help? More trannies here than ____________ :confused:

One thing is that S1'ing something will bring some bad stuff to the surface too most likely. Keep it in mind. Also you can't smoke stuff treated with it. Keep that in mind too.

I'm just about at 9 weeks flowering....last time I checked like 2 days ago still no amber trichs....I'm growing under cfls, and I had some Phosphorus toxicity that caused a potassium and zinc lockout.....not sure if either or both has anything to do with the extended flower time.

Right.....1st clone gets treated and makes pollen, which is painted on to selected branches of the second clone, which should then produce fem beans - is that right? The rest of the 2nd clone is not smokeable?

Also OGE.....what might be examples of 'bad stuff to the surface'? Thanks.

I've ran 3 beans and never had one later than 58 [ two days too late ]. The 3rg gen clone running now comes down @ 53 days. I'd quick dry a couple buds and sample it.
