Colloidal silver

Well at least you got it to work,STS was easy to make it was the 2 week wait on the two Chems that sucked. But I am close to putting into flower.

I started spraying a branch with 30 PPM colloidal silver one week before flowering. I am now 3 weeks into flower and the branch had shown no signs of flipping or stress after 4 weeks of spraying the leaves on the top and the bottom until it was dripping off. Then when I went to spray this morning the branch I've been spraying looks like it's dead. I know colloidal silver causes it to be stressed and look sickly but has anyone ever seen it cause a plant or a branch to look like this?

Sorry for the blurple light..

I just had my first attempt at turning my girls to boys using my own colloidal silver. I followed the detailed information from a few of the posts from experienced growers. I was sceptical of my ability to change the sex of my 4 female cuttings but was eager to try a couple of different methods. I made two batches of CS 12ppm & 16ppm. I was told this was too weak and it would have no effect. I used the weaker solution on two plants and the stronger on two (started spraying two days before the 12/12 flip). When lights were turned off I took one of each plants( from stronger and weaker solution) and put them in an airtight crate after drenching them. I left the other two out of the humid crate. After 14 days I stopped the CS treatment and let the girls take their own course. The two girls that were in the crate grew balls after a week. The other two continued their womanly journey. The correlating factor of successful sex change (regardless of CS strength) was the 12 hours that the cuttings had to soak in the CS in the humid box. By the end of the treatment my girls looked pretty dismal. But the two in the crate grew back strong and fast and are currently bundelling on their nut sacks.

From what I'm hearing from your attempt, you started the treatment too early. And you need to stop the CS treatment before the plants will even start to sex. If you keep spraying the plant, it won't flower at all, and will shrivel up like yours are.

My method;
1. Start drenching two days before 12/12 flip.

2. Drench 3 times a day for a total of 14-16 days.

3. When lights were switch off I put drenched plants in a highly humid crate.

4. Half way through treatment I topped the plants to concentrate on the lower branches that had been getting maximum treatment. I also poured CS through the hole in freshly topped plant (Not sure if this had any effect as the two girls that lacked humid nights still remained female).

5. After 14-16 days stop all treatment and let the sex change take it's own course. And leave them alone beside feeding.

I hope this helps.

I have many pollen sacs now since spraying STS I think I’m on the right path ........the last spray was dec 20 will keep informed

I now have pollen sacks on 40% of small GG PLANT And its mother is going to produce seeds its been 4 1/2 weeks and very stinky but waiting for sacs to pop they are now in the same 2x2 tent! Whats your alls opinion on this setup im sure its all gooder.
