Okay. Posting this as a tek
For all you plant lovers: We will be making copper salt fungicides today I've made this as cheap as possible for people without chemicals and such. I may post a chemical workthrough for this same thing if people are interested. Copper salts act as fungicidal agents, and no one likes fungi.
Part 1. Electrolysis of Copper to form Copper Hydroxide (insoluble)
Shit You'll need for part 1 -DC charger -Scissors -Knife/Wire strippers -Copper (pennies-pre 1982/pipe/whatever) -Plastic bottle/cup/bowl -Salt/Baking soda -2 of some type of clip/ 2 alligator clips *preferred*
First, get a charger.
Cut the end of the charger off like so.
Pull the wire apart a ways.
Strip some of the ends of the wire off.
Get your copper(pennies)
Take your clips and clip the wire to the very top edge of each penny as high as you can get it and have it still be stable.
Cut a bottle in half. It's not too difficult.
Put water into the bottle and add like a half table spoon of salt or baking soda and stir it up until it dissolves. If your using baking soda add a bit at a time so that you don't end up with a bunch that doesn't dissolve.
Put the pennies into the water and then plug in the charger. You should see bubbles. It is important to note: Only the pennies should be under the water, your clip and wire should be above it or it will dissolve the shit out of your wires and you'll have to recut and restrip them very soon after starting.
1-min later.
5-min later. (Updated images look much nicer and blue. They're not all chunky and greenish anymore.)
With some time a blue precipitate will build up on the bottom. This precipitate is copper hydroxide.
If your copper dissolves and you don't have enough precipitate yet, just replace it with more copper. Remember, no touchy the water-- with your wires or your hands while its plugged in.)
(Note, I am using a 17 volt charger which makes this electrolyze fast. So if you're using a low-voltage it will go a bit slower) (If you use baking soda, this will go slower, but you'll have a better end product without random salt ions poisoning it )
Update with new images. I redid it because the paperclips just weren't working.
It'll be a little bit before part two now because I have to find which household chemicals that everybody has will make the shortest route.

I'll post part two tomorrow. After I have sex with my brand new salvia plants, that is, I hope.
Part 2 will be epic-er. There's nothing better than some good ol' fashioned chemistry, besides sex.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10172130#10172130 I'm being a good shroomerite
I came up with this basic thing chemically myself, this is just alternate way to do it minus most the chemicals so amberica could try out alternative anti-fungi stuffs. This was the way to make a fungicide without having to leave my room lol.
It's cheap and it's easy and you shouldn't have to get up out your chair for very long which is a plus

That is if the USPS didn't already molest them en route.

seems like a lot of fucking around when you can just buy a sachet/bottle of fungicide

This tek seems cool, it's a good idea

I fixed the tek's part 1 up, and I shall immediately begin chemistry-ing to find you all the easiest part 2 possible!
