Hi, first a short summary, I dissolved 830 scrap silver with nitric and distilled water, the precipitated out the silver with copper, washed the cement several time, and melted it to shots. Made electrolyte and anode from the shots. And started a silver cell, 7 liter glass bowl with a stainless 316 plate cathode. 2volt and 1.2 ampere. I use one layer of cotton filter and a coffee filter. But the the thing that grows looks like trees and they are very soft and flexible. The cell has been running for 18 hours now and they are already 4cm long and has a dull grey color, So any idea what I am doing wrong? I was hoping for slow growing crystals.
