Yeah, you really need to be upwards of 5-10 seconds to start really getting that look. A lot of the "silky water" pictures you see will be 30-second exposures, or even longer.
This is not totally correct. Silky water looks best at around 1-5 seconds in my experience. I like 2 seconds. You can usually achieve this in muted light with just a polarizer. Longer exposures tend to cause blown out areas where water turbulence is highest.
