DWC Air Pump Question

uptake of nutrients can slow down to almost stopping, root system temps i thing are just as important as ambiant air temps and when the air temps drop so does the rate of growth.

#1 its not a self-made theory, they are facts it kills all micro life
#2 h202 has its place in a grow but not in the soil, at least in the fasion you all seem it sould be used, and i only attacked one member who has a huge history of telling almost every plant problem replies to with h202 man it fixes everything, what i was trying say is its going to do more long term harm then short term benefits

ill try to get a pic up asap

ill put in my hat for h2o2, i think my plants like it alot and it keeps the res way cleaner. + its cheap and available (i use the 3%). and i think you are giving bad advice Drifter... i dont think anyone is putting it in their soil. these are dwc hydro systems.

And i also use a frozen water bottle every once in a while to bring temps down, i dont have a thermometer but they should be cool to the touch. I only use h2o2 when i think things are starting to brown, not as a preventative.

ok heres a pic. I added 4 tbsp of 3% yesterday to 5.5 gallons of water. 2012-01-17 20.11.21.jpg2012-01-17 20.10.55.jpg

1. It doesn't kill ALL micro life, but yes it does kill both good and bad bacteria. The point is to try to eliminate them entirely. Hence the term sterile. If sterile rez's didn't work then how would sooo many people have had such great success with it time and time again??
2. What does soil have anything to do with it? And how are we all saying it should be used which is incorrect? If youre going to attack a member for prescribing a solution you believe to be incorrect, why don't you also propose an alternative to the guy asking the question so he isn't lost. He clearly isn't an expert when it comes to this and if you know so much about bennies, why don't you tell him what you actually recommend instead of this:

  wow every post excepct 2 were even close to helping you with your problems, one add a frozen water bottle to stablize res temps, DO NOT USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, AND BIGV1976 QUITE TELLING PEOPLE TO USE THE SHIT, its for cleaning it remove skin from your jands what do you think it does toroot tissue, you clearly have no clue what your doing, every time someone has a problem you tell them to use it. Shut the fuck up with your dumb ass advice, ok no back to the OP's problem once you get temps in check bring you microculture up with some inoculants or worm/bat/shroom tea, keep ph @ or around 6.0 your problem will solve itself like nature intended.

  
  

You're the reason people are so misinformed, this guy may now think h2o2 is horrible for any use. "Your problem will solve itself." Great advice...
And what are the long term harm h2o2 will cause? Because according to the universe and chemistry, h2o2 breaks down into h2o and O. So it raises the DO content after it breaks down the dead organic matter, leaving water as a byproduct. Is this the long term harm you're talking about? Too much oxygen and water in a hydroponic system...sounds like a rough one.

anyone mention using hygrozyme, its organic and is specifically for keeping your roots healthy and eating away the dead ones plus you can use it with H2o2

ok thanks for all of the tips. How often should I use the H2o2?
