Colloidal silver or Tiresias most?

[Deweygthumb]

I was searching for a good colloidal silver solution and came across a product called Tiresias mist. Was wondering if any has any information about this product or any suggestions on a good brand of colloidal silver that works well for reversing females and what should the ppm of the solution be.

In Australia we have Allan Sutton's colloidal silver 30 ppm. I sprayed it on my auto ultimates and used the pollen to pollinate 2 auto ultimates, 1 pineapple express auto, 1 candy kush auto ,1 magnum auto and 1 gorilla glue auto seriously so much bloody pollen it wasn't funny

Tmist is essentially branded CS aka overpriced. the 50ppm CS on amazon works fine for like 1/20 the price

Our seed buddy uses internet or store bought 30% colloidal silver solutions used as diet supplements to hermi his autos. Said to just be sure tis at least 30% and dont smoke the buds..lol ( yes Pain is "that guy to try" and has tobe told...lol )

I bought some and it didnt work
I sprayed it daily and i tested it afterwards it was only 11ppm

I went bought some colloidal silver, using it at the moment. it tests at 46ppm @ room temperature.
the area I am spraying is affected, waiting for male flowers I have been spraying for 14 days.
Today will be day 15 that Ive been spraying and the autoflower plant is almost 2' tall.

Was there any special technique I needed to follow ?
Or am I in the right direction ?

Although coloidal silver will work, it requires multiple sprayings for up to a month and usually the pollen volume is low. STS works much better and is easy to make. 1 to 2 sprayings is all that is needed. Formula is posted on afn.

NEVER smoke from a plant treated with STS or CS

What is STS?

@pop22

 

[pop22]

STS is silver thiosulfate, a compound of silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate.

Thank you.

STS is silver thiosulfate, a compound of silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate.

Here is the STS formula:

Preparation of STS:


First, a stock solution is made. It consists of two parts (A and B) that are initially mixed separately, then blended together. Part A is ALWAYS mixed into part B while stirring rapidly. Use distilled water; tap water may cause precipitates to form.

Wear gloves while mixing and using these chemicals, and mix and use in a properly ventilated area. A mask will prevent the breathing of any dust, which is caustic. STS is colorless and odorless, and poses minimal health risks if used as described here. (See material safety data sheet links below). Note that silver nitrate and STS can cause brown stains upon drying, so spray over newspaper and avoid spilling.

Part A: .5 gram silver nitrate stirred into 500ml distilled water
Part B: 2.5 grams sodium thiosulfate (anhydrous) stirred into 500ml distilled water

The silver nitrate dissolves within 15 seconds. The sodium thiosulfate takes 30-45 seconds to dissolve.

The silver nitrate solution (A) is then mixed into the sodium thiosulfate solution (B) while stirring rapidly. The resulting blend is stock silver thiosulfate solution (STS).


This stock solution is then diluted at a ratio of 1:9 to make a working solution. For example, 100ml of stock STS is added to 900ml of distilled water. This is then sprayed on select female plants. Then do that second spraying at the end of week 2... seems to be the key for getting pollen from the more difficult strains.
