I'm definitely going to try this. Do you know why spraying this colloidal silver on the pistils makes them form pollen sacks that create feminized seeds??
As for silver. Would this do? http://www.lmine.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=183004&Category_Code=agfoil&Store_Code=LMS

that silver is pretty thin, I'm afraid the electrolysis will eat through that quickly. As mentioned below in this post, if you are not going to drink any of it than you could use sterling silver 92.5% purity. It can be found in many many products, many of which can be found at local hobby stores in the jewelry making section. By law jewelry and jewelry making products that contain fine metals has to lable the purity of the metal. usually this is stamped into the metal but also the packaging should have it clearly written on it also. The silver wire I use is 18 gauge and I have it coiled up. A silver dollar or silver bullion coin would work great for this, you could use two or just cut one into two pieces.
I have this exact same thread in another forum so ill quickly go through and copy things I have posted there into one thread which has additional useful information.
In my readings into the subject to gather more information. Allegedly the lower voltage and amperage adapters will produce a more potent CS that has less silver gunk falling out into the bottom. It is said that you should keep it between 9 and 12 volt and between 300 and 1500 ma. So go grab an old phone charger that you dont use and look at the side of the plug and it should say on it how strong it is. Also if you are not planning on drinking any of it sterling silver will be fine to use but using non distilled water is not an option.
and last of all, CS is said to work for this because "the silver inhibits hormones needed to produce a female flower, causing a male flower to be produced. This means that the pollen doesn't carry any altered genetic traits that lead to increased chances of growing into hermies or genetics that make a plant more likely to go hermie under stress."
So the fem seeds will have the same chance of turning hermie on a normal grow as they would if they were not fem seeds.
I'm yet to come across any unwanted hermy plants produced from this *knock on wood* and of the many places that this information has been contributed to, there has been many successful stories of this working and I have yet to seen anyone report any problems with beans being hermie.

Sorry for double post but my internet is acting funny when I try to edit the above one. I dont want to post too many links to other sources of information on this so if you want to do a google search of "colloidal silver fem seeds" and other similar search terms you will be given loads of great information on the subject. Sadly the one site that had the most information including documented grows with pictures using CS was shut down (planetganja) so a lot of the really good useful information is gone. anyways here is a good tidbit of info
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Marijuana_Cultivation/Producing_Seeds
Quote:
Colloidal Silver (CS)
This is the least expensive and most privacy concious way to produce fem seed. CS has gotten a bad name because there is so much bad information spread around about its production and concentrations. It doesn't help that there are those who believe in drinking low concentration colloidal silver for good health and there is information mixed in about how to produce that low concentration food grade product. Follow the information here and you will consistently produce effective CS and know how to apply it to get consistent results.
Simply construct a generator using a 9-12v power supply (DC output, if it says AC then its no good) that can deliver at least 250ma (most wall wart type power supplies work, batteries are not recommended since their output varies over time). The supply will have a positive and negative lead, attach silver to each lead (contrary to internet rumors, you aren't drinking this is cheap 925 silver is more than pure enough) you can expose the leads by cliping off the round plug at the end and splitting the wires, one will be positive and the other negative just like any old battery. Submerge both leads about 2-3 inchs apart in a glass of distilled water (roughly 8oz). Let this run for 8-24hrs (until the liquid reads 12-15ppm) and when you return the liquid will be a purple or silver hue and there may be some precipitate on the bottom.
This liquid is called colloidal silver. It is nothing more or less than fine particles of silver suspended in water so it is a completely natural solution and is safe to handle without any special precautions. The silver inhibits female flowering hormones in cannabis and so the result is that male flowering hormone dominates and male flowers are produced.
To use the silver, spray on a plant or branch every three days prior to switching the lights to 12/12 and continue spraying until you see the first male flowers. Repeated applications after the first flowers appear may result in more male flowers and therefore more pollen. As the plant matures it will produce pollen that can be collected and used to pollinate any female flower (including flowers on the same plant).

This is very cool! I wonder, if you pollinated a female of a different strain would you still get fem'd seeds??
-------------------- We meandered through Billy’s ritzy neighborhood in the general direction of Jefferson Street. In the lamplight the houses looked identical, grand façade after grand façade of pale gray with black windows, as if for all their monumentality they were nothing but wallpaper, black-and-white prints, two-dimensional murals similar in their deceptive insubstantiality to the gossamer buildings of New Age City. I was struck by the idea that Billy and I, to the extent we existed only in our imaginations, were just as shallow, just as superficial—and equally susceptible to being erased without a trace.

Yes you do. The sad part is that if you get a really good strain that you like from doing that, you wont have any males to do further work with it and I fear that using colloidal silver or any form of making plants go hermie you are risking watering down the genetic traits and making the newer generations less vigorous. Just a theory, not entirely sure. So basically Id rather cross a male and female of two plants then grow out some of the beans and then make fem beans of the second generation of the cross so you still have the original to go back to or to cross with down the road.
I'm growing out some darlings right now outdoors and once they start sexing I'll do take some pictures demonstrating how well the colloidal silver works.

Once every few days starting 1 week before putting into flowering. CS is good but I'd only use it to make seeds for myself. To go larger you need STS.

Magash...have you ever tried smoking a plant that you treated with CS? Ive read that you shouldn't but wanted to know first hand if it will really make you sick or taste bad.
