Making seeds with Silver Thiosulfate - What's In Jim's Grow Room?

A couple of weeks ago I had asked Nismo12 when to start the Silver Thiosulfate Solution (STS) which is used to transform the female to male. Although I was prepared to begin I just forgot. The girls went into the bloom tent Monday and now it's Saturday. So I'm a few days behind on my project. Sure hope I haven't screwed the pooch.

The Silver Thiosulfate solution is made by mixing Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate

NO METAL SPOONS, MIXERS OR CONTAINERS


Using Nismo12's formula:

Step 1. Mix 1g Silver Nitrate with 60 ml of distilled water and stir

Step 2. Mix 6.25g Sodium Thiosulfate with 240 ml of distilled water and stir

Step 3. Mix the 2 solutions above stirring rapidly. You'll see a slight reaction as the solution changes from cloudy to clear.

You now have a somewhat concentrated solution of Silver Thiosulfate (STS)

Then all you do is spray the chosen one.

The original spray was suggested 5 parts distilled water to 1 part STS; however, further use by Heirloom suggested that it could be diluted 7 or 8 to 1. Chose your own level of confidence here.

For me, I sprayed 5:1 out doors so she can dry comfortably in the shade.

Temperature is expected to be in the 90s F here today and it's been in the 80s all week. I've got to figure out how to get some cooler air to the girls and route their exhaust outside my house some how. I guess if I have to cut a hole somewhere, it might as well be in a closet. :rofl:
