hi to all,
Just been sorting out an al b fuct style sog system and am in the process of vegging mom's.
Now my question's really are rather varied so i'll just shoot.....
1.where can i get the seemingly large quantity of h202 need for the op?
2.when i flush out my res what cleaning steps should i take? i.e clean everything with bleach lines fitings pumps and all or just change the water nute it up, ph it and keep going?
3.has anyone heard of a product called microkill? and if so could this be used as a substitute for the h202?
how high should i keep my lights from the tips of the plants? they are 1000W HPS in large adjust-a-wing shades.
4. i'm planning on growing in coco but have noticed on a test run that a whole heap of coco makes its way back to the res and in the tray. any comments? is this going to be a problem?

I'll probably end up with a million more questions but for the mean time if anyone can help me out or has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I know there taking h202 of the shelves at local stores because the U.S is getting it from canada and the U.S is saying its to strong of a chemical to buy with out a license.. This is in most states.. But go to a hydro store

sweet, cheers. btw do you think a 6" air stone and the h202 mix is enough to keep undessirables at bay?

so what your saying is that the water in my res won't get any fungus or mould over the 2 weeks of it being in there even without the h202? you just use nute and ph adjusted water and thats it?
