Does anyone use Hydrogen Peroxide as a growth stimulant?

I'm new to growing buds, but I grew up on allotments and tending plants is very much my thing, hasn't stopped me asking loads of nooby questions about growing bud but I'm more emotionally invested in this particular herb than my vegetable plots :blsmoke:

With my first grow, I've been using H2O2 to supplement the water,

The reason we do this in the poly tunnel with the tomatoes is H2O2 breaks down into H2O and O- anyway (which then becomes O2), so it gives a big hit of oxygen to the roots which they love and thrive on

I know H2O2 is recommended for various problems like PM, fungus Gnats and other pests, but has anyone ever used it to stimulate growth of Roots? I've been doing so on my first grow and got some good feedback (link to RIU thread) from experienced growers

If it's something people are keen on trying, I don't recommend using the dosages you would use to treat pests/PM, a 4/5 of teaspoons in 1 litre of water has always given good results on my tomatoes, obviously make sure it doesn't put your PH too far out of whack

looking forward to seeing if it works for cannabis roots too

Anyone else using this as a regular supplement or do cannabis growers reserve H2O2 for pest control only?

How would you go about oxygenating the water without additional equipment?

A heavily diluted concentration shouldn't have too much effect on the soil microorganisms as long as it's allowed to rest for a while

Your wasting your time using it in any organic substrate unless you use the oxidiser for it.
H2o2 has a extra oxygen atom that reacts with the 1st organic material it touches hence its use for antibacterial and mould/mildew.

I use it for seeds 2ml per litre and 0.5ml nitrozyme in a plastic jug and maintain 24c.
