Hi growmie, do you want to use the solution to prevent them from fungal infections? Then I have a better option, you can use HOCL at an mixture of 5% mixed 25 ml of it in 1l distilled water and use this. It works still if the plat ifs infected, it works but I can not recommend to do that for prevention because of the following reasons spraying them with water in flowering will increase the humidity you need dry climate for healty buds, second thing the water could stay and leave some drops which can result in an magnifying effect and burn the plant.

One other thing -- doesn't matter if you damage that plant a little bit. You should not smoke anything that had CS or STS applied to it. It would be harmful to your health. So, you will be throwing that plant out after it dumps pollen on your receiving plants. No worries if it is a bit fugly. CS will definitely damage your plant - it will look sickly before it is all said and done. STS will not cause many symptoms, if any.

Spray everything. flowers should not exist when you start spraying. If they exist, you are already too late. It still may produce soem male flowers, but it's less than optimal as far as timing. Start spraying when you flip to 12/12. That is the proper starting point. You shouldn't have to spray it for more than 10-14 days with cs? Look into Silver Thiosulfate (STS). Sigma-Aldritch has a recipe online (link below) for it that isn't an amateur's guess as to ratio of chemicals used to make it. You need to dilute that recipe a further 1/6th or 1/10th (20mM to 2-3mM concentration). The benefit is that you only have to spray once every 5 days for a total of 3 applications. It's also more effective than CS. Buying CS is a crapshoot. All those holistic health brands lie about ppm. what can you expect from people that drink it? Bwahaha, some fools drink CS "for their health" bwahaha. Anyway, silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate are cheap on Ebay. a 10-20 USD will make you gallons of spray you use maybe 30-40mL per plant? So it'll last years. Cook up small batches as you need it. https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/technical-documents/protocol/cell-culture-and-cell-culture-analysis/plant-tissue-culture/silver-thiosulfate Remember, that needs additional dilution from 20mM as instructed down to 2-3mM. Algebra is your friend. Do not try to change the recipe to skip this step. In order for the double-replacement reaction to occur, you must follow the instructions in a proportional way. You can downsize to 1/10th the mass and volume of water used. If your scale is .01g +/- .03g, you'll probably make a bit too much, but it'll still be cheaper than buying it pre-made or individual stock solutions pre-made of the reagents. With dry ingredients, you can make a small bit at a time and it'll store on a shelf forever relative to our context. The pre-made stuff needs to be used immediately and the stock reagents mixed up have a 6-month shelflife (silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate dissolved in water needs to be used within 6 months ... STS once mixed needs to be used immediately.)

More like making feminized seeds with an AI image generator. Jokes aside. In order to reverse a female plant, you need to spray it a bunch depending on your concentration and chemical used. CS aka colloidal silver is best applied once or twice daily to an entire branch of a plant. This single branch will then make male flowers. You can spray the while plant if you want, you will just need a lot of CS. I have used a 10% solution of CS before and I sprayed it multiple times a day for a week and a bit till I saw males parts forming, then I stopped. Ideally your CS concentration is anywhere from 30-100ppm. higher is better but it does cap out so 1,000ppm is not needed but can diluate it down to 100PPM with distilled water. The other option is STS, aka Silver Thiosulfate, this option is much easier and has better results. You only need to apply it a few times depending on concentration of it and the plant will makes sacks. Their are other options like a plat growth regulator can reverse sex on them but I don't like them so avoid it. Some plants also turn hermi under a lot of stress but this is also a bad way of getting pollen. If you only have CS just do a single branch and load it up daily. It will produce pollen that will pollinate the entire tent. I like to mark the branch I'm spraying with a red string. It is good to note that your plant needs to be going into flower for this to work well. If your working with photoperoids, start spraying them a few days before you flip to 12/12 If your working with autos start spraying them once you see early signs of sex like pistils forming. All autos control their own time to flip. so make sure the plant your reversing is going into flower. once the pollen sacks have been formed wait for them to open up and then sprinkle them on all the plants you want to make seeds, or use a air jet and blow em on everything. I have used a soft brush before as well. all work. Pollen does not like UV light and degrades when wet. This is why you stop spraying with CS once the sacks are formed. keep the fans up as spraying plants with water can encourage WPM and other things. Wash your hands and do not consume any part of the plant sprayed with CS or STS. Good Luck!

Get the basics down, if you dont know when or where to mist the plant with silver its probably a long shot.. Peace and love.

Spray it on the internodes where budsites will fourm. Make sure you don't spray it on the plant every day. In my experience when you spray it every day durring early flower it sometimes stunts the growth of the bud sites and can make the plant take an extra week to 10 days longer to throw pollen... I personally like to spray 3 to 4 plants I stagger them a few days apart. Also I would start flowering the plants you spray b4 flower the plants your going to pollinate. Say start 1 plant 1o days b4 and then one 7 days b4 and one 3 days b4 and one plant the same day you flower the plants your going to pollinate. Sometimes if you spray to much sts and stunt plants forming male bud spots and it's a slower flowering plant than the ones you wanna pollinate you can wind up getting pollen 2 late also you can wind up with pollen to early. Better chance of getting good seeds. Sorry if that made 0
