Just wanted to get some intake on how it should be used. I know i use it for clones dwc and soil. How do you use it best?

its got its goods and bads, if you are using organic nutes or additives dont use it it will kill the good micro organisms and be a waste. Its good to use to add air to your water , or if you have root rot , however if you are using it to add air it might be better to just get airstones and a few air pumps or do a RDWC and use a water pump and sprayer its better, cheaper and more efficient for multiple plant setups

then i would suggest a test run test your ppm before adding the h202 , then again you add it and wait 20 min, then add your nutes and test again after about an hour before watering your plants with it. This isnt really an accurate way to tell if its working but its something to go on, i have not personally used H202 but from what i hear of you use small doses with your setup it may be ok , though for air , pumps and stones are better period. You can risk killing the micro organisms as well as chemically bleaching and killing your roots if you over do it , so its really something you may want to experiment with on a separate batch of plants before using it on your main harvest. Good luck!

35% at 1.7ml/l every 3-4 days is what I use, keeps the res. clean (no fungus etc.), it oxygenates far beyond what air stones can do and also keeps your rootzone healthy. I do not have to clean my res anymore either. My plants love it. Downside is that it kills all live things in your soup i.e. beneficial microbes as well. It's a tradeoff, but ultimately gives you a more consistent environment to work from. Give it a shoot, my plants love it, just don't overdo it ;)

Good luck,
