H2o2?

Hey every one, i am interested in using h2o2 but cant seem to find the 35% commonly talked about locally so i am wondering if anyone knows anything bout using the regular 3% that u find in the pharmacy, like how much to use?

well if it 3% you need to put 11.5 times what the 35% calls for... think about it all it is is water and h2o2 so if one is 3% and one is 35% then you just have to increase the dose...... its probly more expensive that way though

Use a bleach

thanx, just planning on using it till i pick up some 35%, so probably something like a bottle at a time for a 50 gal rez
Krisko, guess i should b more specific, i am wanting to put it in the rez, not clean with it (although i do use it instead of bleach cuz there is no bad smell or residue), dont think the ladies would like to drink it, thanx anyway

SUPER-ENRICH YOUR WATER WITH OXYGEN

Super-enriching your water with oxygen is a very simple process. All it requires is adding one(1) pint hydrogen peroxide to one(1) gallon water, shake well(vigorously for about five(5) seconds), and allow it to sit over night. The reason this enriches the water with oxygen is simple. Water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, H2O. Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, or water with an extra atom of oxygen. When H2O2 is added to H2O, the extra atom in the hydrogen peroxide attaches itself to bacteria and impurities in the water, thereby disinfecting it. After most impurities have been eliminated, you are left with a water-hydrogen peroxide mix. When added to your plants the extra oxygen in the hydrogen peroxide attaches to the roots, helps increase nutrient uptake, and increases plant growth by 30%.

TIPS TO HELP

The following are a few simple tips to remember that will help increase the amount of oxygen in your soil:

1. Aerate the soil with bulky and water holding material such as peat moss, bark, vermiculite, rocks, and perlite.

2. Always wait until your plants absolutely need water, then thoroughly saturate with water. This will allow water to drain completely through, and pulls oxygen down through the top of the soil.

3. Super-enrich your water with oxygen by adding one(1) pint hydrogen peroxide to one(1) gallon water, shake vigorously for five(5) seconds, and allow to sit over night.

4. Apply the usage of aeration, and as long as you keep the plants other needs met you can increase growth by up to 20%-30%.

WOW!!! i'm thinking that mix will fry some plants corey....i could mos def be wrong, but a pint of H2O2 seems excessive.

here is a link regarding H2O2 in the garden... gives both rates for 3% and 35%

Use bleach instead of h202 in your res. I have been doing it for the last couple months with great results! My res stay so clean no root rot. The roots are pure white and healthy.

There are more threads on this subject.

It really depends on what route you want to go. I was looking into h2o2 also when I found using bleach instead. I must say I'm having amazing results and no harm to the plants. The last 2 weeks of harvest I add no bleach in my res

sounds krazy but ill give it a look, thanx

well that is very interesting
