is it true that you can mix hydrogen with with water you feed your plant and it will give it more oxygen and other benafits

If you are NOT using organic nutes, treat the nutrient tank with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 50% horticultural grade, at 1ml H2O2 per 1 litre of tank volume. Might go to 4-5ml as a one time shock treatment to kill the mass of pathogens.

H2O2 will instantly kill the pathogens and oxygenate the roots. Regular treatment, every 3-4 days, with 50% grade H2O2 at 1ml/litre will keep your tanks and roots pathogen-free as well as add oxygen direct to the roots.

You can substitute weaker grades as found at pharmacies. 3% H2O2 should be used at 17ml/litre of tank volume. 6% at about 8ml/litre.

yeah go to your hydro store and get supry oxy or 35% hydrogen peroxide.

mix 2 ml per gallon for established plants and t will give blast of oxygen and kill bad shit in your soil and keep your roots super healthy. dont use any nuteds with anything living in it. beneficial shit it will kill immediatly but if your useing gh bloom grow micro or something like it, this shit is great

no i mean if your base nutrients are something like general hydroponics(gh for short) then using super oxy or 35% hydrogen peroxide will help for sure. if your using something with beneficial fungi then hydrogen peroxide will kill everything in it too

Hydrogen peroxide, as you’re probaly aware, kills bacteria. It will also kill fungus, and both are necessary to break down organic nutrients into usable forms for plants. Organic growing depends on a healthy population of microorganisms. Without them your soil is just dirt. If you’re growing organically, don’t use hydrogen peroxide.

Organic growing means using only organicaly derived nutrients and otherwise natural products and materials, as opposed to chemically manufactured fertilizers, and other products like Hydrogen peroxide. The medium can be dirt, peat, coir, etc. as long as any amendments meet organic criteria. As was said optimal organic growing is as much about growing good soil as it is about growing good plants, when the soil is happy the plants are.

hey guys, did you read what videoman told you?!!

the H2O2 will sterilize your soil and kill of all your useful microbes in it besides the fact that diluted H2O2 won't just brake down to H2 and O2 but stay intact to large degree and burn your plants root system. guess how 35% one is made you can buy at the drug store!!
if you got trouble with anaerobic microbes growing in your tank get a cheap bubbler for fishtanks, run at 10-20 bucks a piece, and a small fountain pump wit tubing, starts around 8 bucks, and have that running in your tank. it will kill of the stuff growin anaerobe in your tank and leaves your plants alone.

I decided to water with hydrogen peroxide to minimize nute burn due to my feeding too early. I used FoxFarm potting soil, which I think feeds for 30 days?

I fed 1/4 strength Gro-Terra at 3 weeks, and the plants were small in a 1 gallon pot. The roots were only taking maybe 1/3 of the pot.

I'd say that my plants have grown faster since I watered with the peroxide, but maybe that's just what I want to believe?

I watered with the peroxide yesterday, and not very much. I mixed up a whole gallon with 30ml of 3% peroxide, and used around 8-10oz of water for all 3 plants.

Today I found that the plants had totally drained the soil of moisture, which I didn't find to hard to believe because they're getting kinda big and almost take up their whole gallon pot probably.. Plus they only got 3oz. or so of the water. The new leaves on the top that were just barely maybe an inch big are now upwards of 3inches, that's the most growth I think I have seen happen over 18 hours. I really hope this was the solution to my slow growth problem.
