hydrogen peroxide Q's

[firebrand18rjr]

So i have a soil and a aerogarden. theres nothing wrong with my plants, doin just fine, perfect green and growing healthy. would it be a bad idea to add a little bit of peroxide . would that help them out any ? ive been reading on here it helps the roots breathe. how much would i add per gallon? thanks for the space . can i mix it with my nutes, such as, flora nova and iguana juice?

Nope,not a bad idea,i dont know anything about areogardens so i cant help you with measurements but when i make my water for my girls i use half a bottle of peroxide to the 30 gallons of water i use.

can you mix the peroxide with the nutes you feed em with? like flora nova or iguana juice. how many times should i do this to them per week? what benefits will i see? a aerogarden holds exactly a gallon of water. i have 40 20 day old babies too

I read on cannibus culture that you should add 3oz's of 3% hydrogen peroxide to each gallon of water, but didn't read far enough to see anything about nutes. good luck.

H2O2 is good for hydro growers as it has multiple benefits. I use it in all my hydro/aero grows not in my soil grows as its not really for that. Dont use the store 3% stuff at like walmart or such as it has additives that arent so good and can chnage the taste and aroma of the buds. Use like grotek Super H2o2 which is 30%. You will use 3-5 drops per gallon of water. The benefits are you get o2 to the roots which makes healthier plants, prevents stress,makes vigourous growth, stops alage and mildew in the system and on the roots. It also helps the plant uptake food better and faster. Its fine to use with most nutes but not so good if you use an organic microorganism type additive like Dr Hornsby as it will kill the bacteria.Its great stuff htough when used correctly

right on . so for sure 3ozs of the 3% per gallon? i am going to get the 35% very soon but in the meantime i dont mind buying a few bottles if thats what it takes. let me know!

I don't know about for sure, I'm just telling you I read and what I tried. If nothing is wrong with your plants I don't know if you need to put that much. What I read was for root rot. Maybe check around a little or wait until you get the good stuff.

natural air is not bad either i have two 3 inch air stones in the bottom of my aerogarden one plant consumes enough water each day that i have never had to cycle it the roots love the air stones and engulf them consistancy is the key to 02

I just read an article in Maximum Yield magazine about the use of Hydrogen Peroxide. I always thought it was a good idea to add a capful to one gallon of water every now and then. But the article explains that, especially in soil, peroxide should only be used as a last resort to fix an otherwise unmanageable fungus problem. The reason they warn against using it is that the oxidizing effect of the free oxygen molecule kills off all the beneficial bacteria and microbes in the soil, potentially creating serious problems. According to the article, if you do decide to use some peroxide, you should flush with plain water before dosing it. Then, wait at least one day before adding new nutrients and microbe supplements.
