Not to be Captain Easy-Way-Out, but you can find colloidal silver in spray bottles on Amazon.com in varying strengths (emphasis on the varying strength, the PPM counts vary greatly, definitely do your homework on what you need.) You can get a small for bottle for $10 or a larger bottle for $20. They are also far more of a controlled substance in terms of consistency than what you are going to make at home. I know it's fun to putter and make stuff, but some of us don't have the time to play science experiment in our garages when there's a very simple, easy alternative that fits in our budgets and lifestyles, and should definitely be noted as an easy, CONTROLLED option. Just my 
Ive been looking in to the rcmc and im waiting for the dragons to arrivw before i make a purchase. Does anybody know if thwy take other payments besides cash?
Side note. It is outrageous that some seed companies charge as much for a auto fem seed as a photo since photos can be cloned and possibly produce pounds off one seed. I just think autos should be a little cheaper or atleast come in larger packs for the same price. Thats why i look for regular seeds which seems to ba a dying trend in the autoflower community. There are too many breeders juat crossing fem autos with another female auto and selling the seeds without producing a stable male and female breed. Thats why im waiting for rcmc to carry dragons. I want a stable breed produced by reputable breeders.
Anyway thanks afn i came so close to giving up on autos but because of you guys i havnt, i just cant wait till i can get my hands on some dragons and so many othet strains.
Its probably a good thing that its taking so long to set up a deal because if those beans were available to me i would probably go banktupt from buying so many
Beans.
I cant wait to get a hold of some dragon beans have i already mentioned that?

RCMC does except other methods of payment besides cash.
Email them and they will get back to you, with other options

I agree
quality stable regs are quite rare on the same note i have been told by breeders that there is little demand for regs as well vs fems from the banks
Bit confused breeding a reg male and a reg fem from same strain isn't that inbreeding?cant remember if this thread or another talking about inbreeding...So my question is what is best way to get seed stock of same strain without breeding shit seeds? Or will those f1's be fine?

In other cases, careful selection is required. I’ll take the example of how the Lowryder#2 strain was created to prove my point here.
The goal is to preserve the recessive auto-flowering trait:
a = recessive auto-flowering trait
A = dominant normal flowering
Lowryder was bred to Santa Maria/Planck in order to create LR#2. So;
Santa Maria x Lowryder = AA x aa = 100% Aa F1 --> The auto-flowering trait is masked by the gene for normal flowering but all the offspring carry the recessive trait.
(Santa Maria x Lowryder) x Lowryder = Aa F1 x aa = 50% Aa F2 + 50% aa F2 --> 50% auto-flowering in the second generation. This is where the selection for AF plants begins. We pick one of the AF F2's and cross it once more to a true breeding Lowryder,
[(Santa Maria x Lowryder) x Lowryder] x Lowryder = aa F2 x aa = 100% aa F3 = Lowryder#2
As you can see, if we take one of the auto-flowering F2-individuals and cross it to a true breeding Lowryder we get the same result as when we cross two true breeding Lowryders to each other (LR x LR), 100% auto-flowering individuals.
So, if you want to make a new auto-flowering Lowryder hybrid, you have to backcross it twice to true breeding Lowryders in order to preserve the auto-flowering trait in the new hybrid. Remember though that this F3-offspring only carries 12,5% of the genes from the non-auto-flowering parent. In order to increase this percentage you have to start the process all over again.

Some traits might be controlled by several genes which means that the odds are even smaller that this particular trait will be expressed, especially if it is recessive.
The same goes for every trait of the plant, everything from potency to color so my recommendation is to only use the strongest plants you can find for breeding purposes.
