Thanks Gsracer, I will try that !
Was just typing voltage limit lol. Also, I agree on the Muslin cloth. Or 5-10 micron polypropylene felt filter material.Agreed, up your wire gauge and termination points. Don't worry so much about the voltage as its the amperage that does the work, Just make sure you dont go over 3.5 volts. Also when you get a chance, swap out the tshirt material for some muslin cloth from walmart. Its cheap and by the yard. Works great as an anode filter.
Glad you got it sorted.
The small amount is fine. The important part is your setup is actually working now, so let's continue with that, and improve on it. Research is always a good thing, the more knowledge the better, but it will still only be a general guide, and not exact to your setup. You have to make it exact. As far as your success, don't judge it by others, there may be a lot of information, trial and error that wasn't mentioned. The only success you need to worry about is the real results that you're getting.A very small amount over a few hours, I am new to this, and it seems based on the threads here on the Forum I am having less success than most, I believe the key is reading up more on the subject, however, I feel the new power source is not providing adequate current or amps, I am going to perform some tests with small electronic devices, it also seems as if it is not programmable to my needs., I started with 5ozt and 250ml HNO3 with 250ml DI, the silver wasn't dissolving as much as before, I added another 150ml of both again and afterwards diluted with 500-600ml DI, it is apparent that the solution has turned a cloudy green/blue color and not as transparent or clear as the first experiment.
I second this. Lower amperage, slower more pure growth.Thin is probably too much amperage, i had the same problem on my new cell, i had to turn down the amperage. It WILL slow down the growth but make denser crystals. Try to adjust the amperage to 3.00 amps, you have alot of cathode, but a small anode.
