Using Colloidal Silver To Make Feminized Marijuana Seeds
Trying the colloidal silver spray method is a lot more difficult and time-consuming, but it appears to work with a higher degree of success than simple rodelization. Before we discuss how to actually use it, we must understand how to make it. The colloidal silver method isn’t merely the act of sticking silver coins in a spray bottle and going crazy on your plants. The whole method requires pure silver, some electricity, and a lot of water. In fact, there are five key ingredients that you’ll need to make your own colloidal silver spray:
- Distilled water
- Pure silver (coin, wire, etc.)
- 9-volt battery
- 9-volt battery connector
- Alligator clips
- Soldering iron
Once you’ve got your silver, you need to connect the battery connector to the battery itself. There should be two wires extending from the battery connector (one red, one black). If you opt for the alligator clips, then they need to be soldered to these wires to improve the electrical current. This will, of course, require the use of a soldering iron, but if you don’t have one or you don’t know how to solder, then you might be able to get some help at a hardware store. The other option that doesn’t involve soldering irons or alligator clips is cutting a hole in the silver coins and then wrapping the wires through that hole. In most cases, though, it’s easier to conduct electricity and hold the current with the soldered-on alligator clips.
Whether you’re using the alligator clips or another method, the battery wires must be connected to the silver coins somehow. Then, those silver coins must be placed in a cup of distilled water (but not the alligator clips or the wires). Again, it is very important that you use distilled water and not any kind of other water that might contain impurities. The electrical current essentially creates tiny silver ions that will float in distilled water. This is because the water is deionized and the particles won’t try to bond with anything else.
In any event, you need to leave this concoction as it is for about 7 hours minimum. The longer you leave the electrically-charged silver coins suspended in the distilled water, the higher concentration of colloidal silver you will receive. You don’t want the colloidal silver generator to run for too long because it will eventually produce particles that are too big. Nothing will appear to happen at first, but you’ll start to see a residue or film on the top of the distilled water over time. Again, do not let the alligator clips or the wires themselves get wet.
Once you have your solution, then you’re ready to put it into practice. Choose one female marijuana plant to receive the spray and then mist that plant every day with the solution after it starts flowering. Continue misting the plant until you start to see male pollen sacs forming. This usually only takes about 10 to 14 days, but it could be longer or shorter depending on the variety. Once the pollen sacs appear, you can use the same method of retrieval and then fertilization outlined at the beginning.
It should be noted that colloidal silver in high concentrations is not safe to consume under any circumstances. Although the solution can be used and consumed for health reasons, it’s usually done so at a much smaller concentration. In fact, any parts of the marijuana plant that you spray the solution on to should be discarded. Some marijuana growers are willing to pinpoint a few locations on a certain plant so as to avoid not scrapping the entire plant later on. But, this can be unsafe if you’re not careful about where the spray goes. If even trace amounts make it onto the some of the buds, then those buds are unfit for smoking or consuming.
Any pollen that is created as a result of the interaction between cannabis and colloidal silver is 100% safe to use. It’s just that any part of the cannabis plant that comes into direct contact with the colloidal silver spray should be considered toxic. The upside to using colloidal silver is that it consistently produces high-quality feminized marijuana seeds so that you are more likely to come up with all or mostly female crops. You can also produce seeds ad infinitum while also controlling the actual amount of marijuana seeds produced.
