Added H2O2 and all plants dropping

murtymaker · #1 03-17-2009, 02:15 PM

Hey I read that you add 3% H2O2 (3 oz per gallon) So I added 30 oz to my 30 gallon rez today to ease the plants into the new additive. And within minutes my tallest best plants started drooping and the stem was even laying over at a 90 degree angle. Is this normal? I hope I didn't kill them and they come back to standing strt up!

did you seriously put 3oz per gallon of h2o2 in your res?!?!

thats amazing....i put 1ml of 3% per gallon when i use it.

if you used that much your plants are probably dead, you just completely fried thier root system.

where did you hear to use that much?

This was taken from RIU member Roseman from an Ed Roth article:

When 35% hydrogen peroxide solution is used, it can be added at the rate of three ounces per 10 gallons of water. If a 3% solution is used, use three ounces per gallon of water.

Checked my plants today and they are standing straight up, only thing is they have some burn on their leaves but I think that might be from adding more nutes not the H2O2.

So thanks for the scare everyone! I read that article cuz I typed in "root rot rollitup" into google to search for it and that is what it said to do ... is this wrong?

wow, in my experience roseman really knows his shit. but that still seems like a crazy amount of h2o2. like i said i use 1ml per gallon in my DWC setup daily and it keeps my roots pearly white.

glad to hear your plants made it. make sure you flush out those nutes that are burning your leaves.

Thanks for the concern... man though this pisses me off... I don't know if plants are under or over nuted... they are about 5 weeks old and started using nutes at 4 weeks old when I switched to flowering, I put it up to 250ppm then a few days later brought it up to 450ppm... but the advance nutes website says start flowering off at 800ppm! Are my leaves turning colors cuz I am at half that? Can anyone help with that?

we can figure it out with some pics. otherwise its just guessing. more details would help too. did the leaf damage happen in concert with the adding of the h2o2? did you up the nutes and add the h2o2 at the same time?
