Happy Growing everyone...I started the spray on the Purple arrow.....PPM steady at 40...I poured the silver mix into a spray bottle and filled another with Distilled water...My plan is to drench the plant with the silver in the Morning and at night....and Distilled in the middle. I forgot to change the silver rods this time and ya see the results...I plan to spray for the next 2 weeks and than flip to flower and spray another 2 weeks... I will than place a female in the room and see what comes of it...thanks for looking in
take care and be safe
@4u2sk0ke glad to be here and thanks for the lead!
What is the voltage of the power brick you're using? My silver wires wear evenly along the length. Yours look to wear out more where the wire and surface of the water meet and I'm trying to understand why. My research when I started making fem seed mentioned that lower voltages produce finer bits of particles that float in suspension more readily and will achieve a higher ppm. I've never tested that but I try to stay 9 v max. I've gone as high as 12 v when my 9 v brick burnt out but I don't remember how long it took to achieve the target ppm in comparison.
I spray the solution once a day in the morning and just enough distilled water to dampen, (not enough to cause water to drip), every other evening for 2 weeks. I then spray occasionally, every 2-3 days for the next 2 weeks in the morning and with plain water later that day or the next morning. All during that time I watch for stress and back off on the application a bit. The second two week application is just to maintain the silver level in the plant so you don't get male and female flowers at the same time from the newer growth during the first couple weeks in flower.
