I use the Nutrilife H2o2 ( 29% ) I bought at first cause I had some browning roots I used 5ml per gallon on the first run of it just to clear the root problems up and give it a good cleaning. Now I use it as preventive maintenance every rez change and apply only about a drop or two per gallon now and roots seem to love it nice and clean and white and taking off now. I heard it is good for the roots but can be harmful and burn them if too much is used.
 
h2o2 can be good for fixing an issue but can also destroy any sort of microbial life you have accumulated in your root system but I see a lot of people who use it regularly in ebb and flow/ drip systems but personally I don't use unless I have to

^^^^^ I used that ratio with 35% when hit with slime and still didn't work lol. I really don't like the shit at all lol. Get it on your hands and skin turns white instantly not to mention burns like hell lol.

H202 helped me with preventing, what I believed to be the first signs of some bacterial infection/rot. My reservoir smelled like my sweaty socks and a fews days of using H202 helped get rid of it.

But it's probably not so good at fighting the already established rot, although people use it with success.

I personally like to bombard my reservoir with nice amounts of chloramine, the smell it leaves reminds me of swimming pools and of course... victory (get it?) Nothing says "dead reservoir" better than some good chlorine.

yeah for sure, I just used 15ml of 35% in 5 gallons, and they turned a bit off color so I gave them a good flush and now they seem to be getting much better. I did this without properly calculating the ratio. Whoops :P

Well the chlorine did work better than the peroxide for me but I've switched to beanies for now :). They work mucho better in my setup :)

As Per AL B Fuct :

H2O2 50 % strength @ 1ml/L every 3-4 days

If h2o2 is only 29% ,so around 1.72 or round up to 1.8 ml per liter every 3/4 days

Enzymes are proteins.
H2O2 breaks down enzymes on contact, so I have no use for Cannazym or similar products.

Follow the above dosing.
You will never go wrong.
