What would it take to.convince you? I provided studies and endless first hand accounts. Do you fear change or somthing
There are 16 elements essential for plant growth. Minerals are one of the types of biostimulants that assist plant growth and health outside of basic nutrition requirements. Currently, there are only 2 elements that are widely accepted in that category- silica and molybdenum.
A lot of what a plant takes in also involves a balance like a see-saw between those elements (i.e. potassium vs. calcium). I just have a hard time believing that jacking up the silver concentration in soil is a miracle element without locking something out or inhibiting ethylene.

The study is peer reviewed feel free to challenge it. In the scientific journal. Talking crap on a forum means nothing
That study is for green onions, not cannabis.
It also doesn’t explain how CS is selective towards pathogens versus beneficial bacteria.

Has the study been reproduced with the same results? One study that has passed peer review doesn’t mean much. I’m not saying it’s misleading or not factual, but it’s not as uncommon as you might think to find articles that pass peer review and are published and are not reproducible or are complete shams.
One study is great but unless there are several studies that all draw the same conclusion then I wouldn’t hold this in very high regard.

It does talk about not effecting soil biology. Though that study is about green onions sure but tour gonna ignore the first two articles posted from master growers backing it up that it works for cannabis? Or are you all going to wait for a study involving cannabis before you believe?
I honestly hope silver becomes studied enough to become the next great mineral biostimulant. It definitely hasn’t passed scientific scrutiny with only 1 study from 2010.
I do sell minerals for a living and speak with agronomists every day, if you didn’t know.

Why don’t you experiment with it see first hand after all what’s the down side it is a safe product
Oh and there are far.more than one article I’m just getting tired of digging them up to a crowd that attacks me well here is another one
@eeerock, I love how people’s best yield ever is their ‘average’ lol.
Like @AgTonik said, there’s plenty of other ways to have a sterile hydro environment, not sure why you’d mess with something that’s not proven. One sponsored study doesn’t prove anything, you’re being challenged because colloidal silver has a very unwanted effect, unless you want nanners.
Doses as low as 20ppm cause herms, so not sure why this wouldn’t cause it too…

Idk, first hand experience? For example you had a strain that you ran prior to using colloidal silver and got 1.5# light. After adding 20 ppm colloidal silver my yield increased to x. Articles that have gamed Google SEO like those provided at maximumyield typically are filled with trash info. I would much rather look up info in a forum where the community can at least crowd source a solution instead of articles who’s target audience are the inexperienced and naive

This is a study on cucumbers and pumpkins and only talks about the ability to reduce some fungal.
Cannabis is vastly different than a fruit or vegetable. If the study is not done ON cannabis and reproduced, it is not going to hold very much weight when being pushed as a great solution to growing cannabis.
Anecdotes are great, but without properly vetted and reproduced study, they are just that, anecdotes.

So you are going to ignore the TWO ARTICLES I POSTED FROM MASTER GROWERS WHO SAY IT WORKS? DUDE OBVIOUSLY A SCHEDULE 1 DRUG IS NOT GETTING FUNDS FOR TESTS LIKE THIS. if studies I provided prove it increases yield in onions and kills fungi in cucumbers and master growers have seaid the same in cannabis that’s enough for me. You are being unreasonable

“Master Grower” is a silly fluff term for someone who waters plants for $30-40,000 a year.

Master grower, sorry that word is a bit comedic to me. Quite honestly anyone who calls themselves a “master grower” is probably someone I wouldn’t take advice from.
Yes I will ignore them. I can call myself a master grower and write an article about how it didn’t work, so what? An article is just an article. It’s not a proper study, it’s anecdotal. Last time I checked, hemp isn’t illegal and is a perfect plant to run this kind of study on.

Lol ok bud. Cant wait to see tour articles in one of the most prominent cannabis magazines.
Master grower… what does it take to get a master grower tag? I’ve been doing this for about 10yrs. I’m a master grower… but only in my own personal garden.
