Without any current controls, starting a little further up the runaway scale makes it run away exponentially faster. Seeding the batch took you a long way up the scale at start, probably into the region of near verticle current rise and your end result is probably 8-12...20? times as strong in the same amount of time.
Without some instrumentation, there's just no way to tell what's going to happen with that sort of generating setup. A very minor difference in starting water conductivity makes a big difference in the end results within a given time frame, but 'seeding' makes a BIG difference in initial conductivity. If you start out with a big difference, you wind up with a mega whopping HUGE difference in the end with a few minutes being the equivalent of an hour or more. Hints: Put a milliammeter in series with your electrodes. Always position the electrodes the same way in the same amount of water. Record the starting current and ending current on a batch you like and shoot for the difference for some degree of repeatability. If you chart the current in time increments, you'll see how it races out of control like a rock falling off a building without you knowing anything about how tall the building is today. ..will the rock go 'plip' or 'BANG' when it hits? You just have no way of knowing. Ode At 01:10 AM 10/14/2005 -0700, you wrote: > >So I made a batch of CS last night.
