Making colloidal silver in indirect lighting
Yoikyasi:
Hi I am currently in a situation (off grid) where a large tent is the best location for making colloidal silver... I have been successfully making 320ppm starting towards sunset because of what I have read here recommends to make it in subdued lighting...
my current setup : a magnetic stirring hotplate and cc cv dc power supply adding the reducer in the begining and running for 5.5 hours for me would best be done during daylight hours so I am wondering must one always do this in subdued lighting? How subdued? even if u are reducing at over 140° with some karro and gel capping at the end? would there be a problem if some sun hit your silver in this process or is the warning more about when making ionic silver without heat?
Yeah so my basic question is: Can I make this during sunny hrs or do I have to be in a really dark place?
Thank u so much yall I've learned so much here!

A friend who works as a quality tester, at a pharmaceutical manufacturer said it is best to work under yellow lighting conditions, if dark conditions are not feasible.
Is this true? If so, are the low wattage eco (CFLs?) bulbs OK?

Start your process and then continue the brew in the dark/dusk.
Yoikyasi:
Thank you for the reply cfnisbet!
I'm trying to innerstand why tho?
For what reason? Sunlight reduces silver and I would be reducing already...
Thank you!
cfnisbet:
If you are going to reduce it anyway, it doesn't matter, but I always make mine in very low ambient light. I suppose it's a holdover from making Ionic Silver Oxide in my very early days, before I discovered this site.
