| | Here what I found, and quite the find it is I must say. Thank You Daisy!! Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer that can be used to destroy fungi, molds, bacteria and other infectious agents as well as some pollutants. Adding it to your water helps plants by destroying infectious agents and by adding oxygen to the roots' environment.
Hydrogen peroxide is an essential ingredient in maintaining a clean growing room. It replaces chlorine bleach, which is antiseptic but harmful to breathe. When added to reservoirs, hydrogen peroxide slows the growth of algae and other water organisms so that trays and utensils need to be cleaned less frequently. Soil and water borne diseases such as pythium and other stem and root rots occur at much lower rates in hydrogen peroxide-enriched water. Hydrogen peroxide works because of the oxidative reaction, so micro-organisms are unlikely to develop a tolerance.
Everything I read says to use 30ml per gallon of water(when watering), so not much. It makes sense too that the extra atom of oxygen is good for the roots.
I'm going to add it every other watering. Next watering- peroxide then nutes, then peroxide again, then nutes etc....Sound good? |

I cant even open the door to it now with out putting some sunglasses on first!! |
What ever your highest lumen bulb is...is the MAX lumens you will get. If your strongest light is 1600 lumens...your only getting 1600 lumens...you cannot add lumens together. If you want more lumens you have to buy a bulb that puts put allot. Adding 2 1600 lumen bulbs does not make 3200 lumens. It rather increases your lux, which is still an important role in growing. |

| | Ok thanks homegrownboy. But still, more bulbs = more light= more grow. So if the plants could talk they would not say "hey thanks for the extra lumens" but they would say "thanks!"  |

| | I never thought about the added oxygen from the peroxide. Do people water with this stuff every time? Seems like it would be a good idea. I'm going to do some looking up

| | I've heard of people using a small amount for all waterings. |

| | well i dont believe just because they are bushy they are male, in fact i have believed that the shorter the better cause males tend to grow taller to pollinate as many females as they can
plus they are bushy becuase you are doing a good job at providing light and not cause their male
so GROW ON!!!

what?i believe your wrong...
you can add lumens, lux is a measure ment of light at a certain distance and lumens are just another way of measuring light per square foot.. etc
smae shit basically
just dif names, like meters and yards
both measure distance

| | here is some info
The difference between the lux and the lumen is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread. 1000 lumens, concentrated into an area of one square metre, lights up that square metre with an illuminance of 1000 lux. The same 1000 lumens, spread out over ten square metres, produces a dimmer illuminance of only 100 lux.
Achieving an illuminance of 500 lux might be possible in a home kitchen with a single fluorescent light fixture with an output of 12000 lumens. To light a factory floor with dozens of times the area of the kitchen would require dozens of such fixtures. Thus, lighting a larger area to the same level of lux requires a greater number of lumens.

| | so if you have 2 1600 lumen lights in one square meter
thats 3200 lux
but if those lights are in a 2 sqaure meter room
thats only 1600 lux same lumens different lux
research before you post homegrownboy
