have any of you ever tried spraying only 1 (the bigger one) of the 2 main branches of your plants grown from a feminised seed with colloidal silver in order to create more seeds? I tried and am pretty sure the experiment failed...

Regardless, remember any CS applied means that plant is not to be smoked or used for extracts. it's toxic to humans. Did you buy the CS pre-bottled? Those "500ppm" bottles on amazon and health stores are rarely 500ppm. From what i've seen, the DIY rigs with a batter and a silver coin are far, far better options than the bottled shit that lies through their teeth.. typical of a nonsense supplement producing company, lol... some people think drinking CS is good for their health, bwahaha. Look into Silver Thiosulfate. Sigma-aldritch has a spot-on recipe that needs to be diluted from 20mM to 2-3mM. so 1:5.67 or 1:9 dilution. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/technical-documents/protocol/cell-culture-and-cell-culture-analysis/plant-tissue-culture/silver-thiosulfate That is a 20 mM (millimole) concentration. Doesn't matter if you knwo what that means. It's the same math. You need to dilute it to 2-3 mM. they do not mention this. don't get smart with the directions and try to make a 2-3 mM stock solution. It is a double replacement reaction, so stick to the directions and then dilute. It's a very easy thing to do. STS is more consistent than CS. Buying the silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate (anhydrous) off ebay is 20x cheapr than buying the 'branded' STS kits. 25usd will get you 9 gallons? or was it 9 Liters... either way.. for the price of 8-16oz kits, you get a shit ton more. Also, it has a very short shelf life once mixed. The dry components can sit on a shelf forever if kept dark.
