Colloidal Silver Outdoors

Hello All,

I am going to be trying Colloidal Silver on an outdoor grow for my first time with Colloidal.

Everything I have read so far talks about starting 2-3 days before you switch to 12/12. Great for indoor growers but not helpful outdoors.

My outdoor plants show sex much earlier, at least several weeks before really starting their flowering cycle.

So when should I start spraying outdoors? As soon as signs of sex appear? A bit later in the flowering stage?

Also how much spray would be used to soak one or two branches twice a day over a 21 day period? Is a litre sufficient?

Any other helpful hints would be appreciated.

The only tip I can give is to use STS instead of colloidal silver. That way you only have to spray a few times. Outdoors i'd start spraying the female plant you want to reverse as soon as it starts showing sex. The daylight hours will shorten gradually unlike the immediate switch to 12/12 that you can control indoors.

I've only done one reversal outdoors and that was with STS. Maybe someone with more experience reversing plants outdoors will chime in.

Outdoors is basically the same as indoors. Just have to be more careful with spraying since you don't want to hit your other plants.

I misted mine outside until the pollen sacks opened. If you stop spraying when sacks appear they may just be sacks of nothing.

Alchemy seeds?

Id absolutely hate you as my neighbor.

Doing that shit outdoors means you will spread pollen across the neighborhood.

Shit happened to me last year with one of my neighbors. Very frustrating when you do everything right and some selfish asshole ruins your crop.

I agree but only if the person that's doing it is a moron. You harvest your sack filled branch and bring it inside before it opens. You then put it in a glass of water leaned over tinfoil or paper plate in an area with not a lot of air movement. Keep spraying and they will crack open and pollen will fall into foil or paper plate for easy collection. There is absolutely no benefit in leaving the plant alive outside when the sacks are about to crqck unless you want a crop of seed. I reversed a green gelato last year and crossed it with my personal strain.

Anyways you are 100% correct, if you do this outside and leave it to mature 100% outside your going to ruin your crop and neighboring crops.

I personally live over 20 miles from any town and my closest neighbor is almost 6 miles away so I don't think you'd hate me too much as your neighbor lol
