So I poured a splash of h2o2, 3%, in a half full gallon container. there are a bunch of oxygen bubbles hugging the sides of the walls in the jug. is this normal?
Also, does anybody know if a splash of h2o2 is enough to kill all of the bacteria in run off water, in a gallon?


thanksall

anybody..........

so nobody has ever used peroxide before...........

bump./......./

i cant believe nobody uses peroxide

Use it... yes.
For the application you are describing... no.

You can use a teaspoon of 3%, or single drop
of 35%, to a gallon of water and it will give more
oxygen to your roots during watering. Not to be
done on every watering.

If you want to kill bacteria in the water,
you can either freeze the water, distill it.

If you have that much bacteria in your
water, I would suggest getting a filter or
not using it at all. Good luck.

Hi Rivers,

...i am under the impression that H2O2 will kill much of the bacteria. All of bacteria? I have no idea, but i do know that growers use it for pest control (spider mites).

...hydro growers regard it as essential and it can be used with every watering for a soil grow if used in very small concentrations 1 tsp per gallon.

I'm doing an organic grow (organic soil and nutes) and H2O2 is known to kill many of the beneficial soil bacteria, so i'm not using it now. I did use H2O2 laced water (very weak levels) for my germination and the beans popped in 18hrs. How long without H2O2? Who knows...

hope this helps...
