Do serial dilutions start out as saturated solutions?, Meaning when it starts out ppt forms, but there is a point where ppt stops forming, so when the ppt stops forming does that mean it is representing a saturated solution, and that when the ppt is not forming the solution has not dissolved as much solute as it could, and from that point on it can not dissolve anymore?

The first sentence ending with the question mark makes sense. The rest does not. The answer to the first sentence is No, serial dilution may start at any concn one chooses.

Ok, so when doing a serial dilution, would you day that the first well with no ppt represents a perfectly saturated solution, why or why not?

In general, no. In whatever sense you're talking about, perhaps. I'm trying not to buy a pig in a poke here.
