I use a high-compliance current source (ascii circuit recently posted), and Faraday's equations to time my cs. I find the yellow tint starts occurring over a very small range of ppm. In other words, the process saturates quickly, and is extremely sensitive to the ion concentration at the end of the brew time. Just one or two ppm difference is all it takes to make a brew that is clear, or one that shows color. Most people run with constant voltage and have no current limiting. This means the brew can easily reach the current level needed to produce silver oxide, which produces the tint. The process is out of control, but the moon has no influence on the outcome. People who do use current limiting generally run at high current density. This means the regulator is saturated for a large portion of the brew time. The production of oxide then depends on the diffusion of silver and hydroxyl ions through the solution, which depends on the AC line voltage at the time, the temperature of the dw, any convection currents, and probably a dozen other variables. Again, the process is out of control, and the moon has no influence on these factors. The moon is too far away to influence any of the parameters that affect the cs process. When you get unrepeatable results, you need to control these parameters better. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
