When to stop Colloidal Silver

I have four plants I sprayed with 50ppm C.Silver for 6 days in veg. Then switched to 11/13 and now on day 10 of flower I have numerous male sacs forming. Do I keep spraying the silver a while or can I stop once sacs are forming?

Thanks.

Read both of those with about all the other threads on C. Silver. read so much I can't remember anything. So once the plant is forming sacs do I stop spraying the Silver?

I spray CS until the pollen sacks are mature, and about to open. Generally though, it's only needed until the sacks form, but since I make my own, I don't mind going further.

I spray CS until the pollen sacks are mature,

Thank you. First time using the silver I am on day 17 now. I did 6 days veg now 11 days in flower. I have 2 female plants of Matanuska Thunder and 2 of NL#5/Haze F6. Both the Matanuska's are showing a lot of sacs and the 2 NL5's are just starting to show sacs.

What's your plan for separating pollinated branches/plants from the rest of the flowering plants?

I have my methods, I'm curious as to what you've got designed.

I sprayed the whole plant/clone and I have clones in flower getting ready for the pollen. I just collected 18 vials from the males in another grow room. Fro these I will keep in a separate room and collect pollen daily on a 6" x 12" piece of glass. I hold the branch over the glass with a small wooden skewer and tap the pollen on the glass. Then collect with a razor blade and put in open jar until dried then cover. Here is a pic of my last collection.

Sorry that probably did not answer your question. I take plants into separate area and brush pollen on carefully then put back. I used a different brush this last time and over pollinated so I may need to change ways. How do you pollinate?

I spray until some open and I get the most amount of pollen. When I have stopped after seeing sacs I got less pollen.
