I believe that the process is as follows:
1. the OH and H of the water molecule are attracted to opposite electrodes.
2. When the OH reaches the anode it reacts with a silver atom producing
AgOH, that is silver hydroxide
3. The silver hydroxides tend to bang into each other and silver
particles in colloidal form near the electrode and produce a silver
particle or enlarge it. The remaining OH combines producing water and
oxygent.

What about 'repelled?' If I understand the process correctly, doesn't
it require a minimum voltage to cause the silver to be 'repelled' from
the electrode in the form of ions?
As those ions are in constant rapid movement in the water {I believe
that's called Zeta potential} they collide with each other and some
'stick' to each other {I believe that's called van der Waals force of
mutual attraction/repulsion} forming atomic clusters of those silver
ions...commonly referred to as 'particles', and as some may collide
more than others that's where larger 'particles?' are formed.
