so after those two batches i realized i just putting too much sugar in i reduced my sugar to 2 grams and since then i have made 3 perfect dark red batches.
It is important which kind of sugar to use. Regular table sugar isn't good, you should use invert sugar, glucose, or corn syrup. It doesn't take very much, a few drops of light corn syrup or invert sugar is probably enough.
Also, when electrolysing gold, its best to have a very large cathode, and a very small gold anode. This is backwards to silver, but works best. The anode should be just in the water, perhaps an 1/8 inch, or 2 to 3 millimeters. You want a very high current per square millimeter of anode.
