Help with colloidal silver

[Mastrmasn]

Hopefully I'm in the right place for this question.

I made my own CS. Used 4 9v batteries and ran it for 4 hours.
It turned out looking sludgy. There's sediment at the bottom of my jar. Did I do something wrong here.

 

[Weaselcracker]

No that’s totally normally. The longer you brew it the sludgier it gets.
I use ac/dc adapters instead and usually run it for a day or two. It only gets so strong. I’ve never had it get over 60 ppm.

 

[Mastrmasn]

Should I filter the sludge out? Before spraying?

 

[Weaselcracker]

You’ll find if you stir that it’s not very solid- but sure- may as well at least run it through a t shirt or something. Won’t change the mix but may keep your sprayer nozzle cleaner.

 

[Mastrmasn]

Thanks. Now I'm wondering if I should start over and let it run longer. I panicked and stopped it after 4 hours.

Here’s a link to how I make it.

So after sitting a night, the water in the container is turning into a blackish soup. The silver pieces will be covered in black gunk like the one on the right, but that will come off with a quick polish, like the one in the left, with no detectable harm done to the silver. I...

And then a couple posts after that you’ll see the end result. And the sludge.

Now I'm not so worried lol. I'll run it again using the stuff I already have and strain it tomorrow. Thanks again @Weaselcracker. I started a journal on the process I'm going through. I'll update you there. Hopefully this works out for me

Every time I’ve made it, it’s worked as far as it produced lots of hermies. Sometimes though the hermie flowers didn’t seem to have viable pollens and I got no seeds. Sometimes I did get seeds though. No idea why the variation.

 

[Mastrmasn]

The seeds you did get were good and fem?

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yes.

Saying you created a Hermie sounds bad..lol

Your reversing a Female to Male to create Fem pollen

Hermie is usually bad genetics or stress related and NOT a good thing

Girls with UNWANTED male parts is never good....lol

That's what I was thinking too. Doesn't sound too good lol.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Exactly!!

 

[Weaselcracker]

yeah it does sound bad.
But- there are no male genetics introduced. The nanners that are formed with CS are a hermaphrodite trait , and exactly the same thing can and often does occur without CS.
But yeah- there are also the types of hermaphrodites where they grow balls early on. Those are definitely bad.
