Hi I would like to make my own feminized seeds by sprinkling the plant with colloidal silver but I can't find anywhere if this colloidal silver has to be ionic or non-ionic?

you want ionic. nanoparticles.. smaller particale size the better. Find an STS 2-part kit. If it comes all-in-one the shelf lelf is almost certainly incredibly short. STS is a better option with more consistent results. Be willing to follow some precise instructions and it'll be a much better route to take. i bought a 500ppm CS solution off amazon... i don't have a tds meter. however, since then a commenter showed it was 1/10th of advertised ppm. Many of the options sold on amazon are trash products, and there is no way to dilineate between the good and the bad. They all say the right things in description about the production process. I used a 90-100 ppm dilution, assuming it was a true 500ppm... or, maybe i used 10ppm, who knows. Either way.. the plant get a little sickly, but did not produce male bits. Before my next try, i'm getting a 2-part STS kit... maybe a TDS pen to test my CS, lol. holy shit ppl are drinking colloidal silver.. don't do that. LOL... it is not a health tonic no matter what some snake oil salesman tries to sell you. this is why there are trash products on amazon, lol.

You want a pure silver that is not boned to any proteins and a min of 30-40ppm. lot of places online are selling Silver Thiosulfate "STS" solutions but you can also buy ionic silver in the solution. colloidal is less reactive with other things and ionic is a bit more reactive at least in human biology. I used a product called structured silver brand SIlverSol but it was only 10ppm, I'm still waiting to see results. They have someone in the USA who makes a 30ppm SilverSol version. and I'd get that if you can. I can't in Canada SilverSol Technology/Health Max 30 is what its called. but others have had good results with STS as well. spray on a branch daily for 21-30 days, stop once signs of pollen sacks appear. Best Of luck!
