Thank you Ken for your input on my post. I guess the hot plate is too much, considering I'm also using a bubbler and spiking the solution. You suggest running the procedure longer to get more of a TE. Is this dissolving more silver into the solution or adding more particles?
I noticed that when I spike the solution using one of my clear (bubbler-made) solutions AND don't turn on the bubbler, it takes much longer to get to the point of the 'wisps' than if I use one of my non-bubbler (yellow) solutions to start the new batch. When I use a yellow solution, it only takes a fraction of the time for the 'wisps' to appear. I've read that the dissolved silver doesn't carry the positive charge like the silver particles do. And that something like 80% of the CS are silver ions, and the particle silver is only 20%. Would longer brewing using the bubbler raise this percentage to over 80% of dissolved silver? Is this good or bad? Lastly, I've heard the words 'silver ions' used to describe two different things. 1. as the dissolved silver in a solution and 2. as the positively-charged particles of silver in a solution. Which is correct? I see the words 'silver ions' used on this List but I'm not sure exactly what state the silver is in. Dissolved or particles?
