Hydro DWC - Technaflora 'recipe for success' peroxide question

Im still new to hydro and need to ask if I can add 3% peroxide to my dwc tote im using http://technaflora.com/products.php?product=18 Recipe for success kit.
Current of the mix in the tote there is:

Thrive Alive b-1 red

B.C. Boost

B.C. Grow

Magic Cal

Sugar Daddy


If not can anyone recommend a good alt to peroxide with these specific nutes.
Thanks in advance the noob.

small bump need advice plz

Those are chemicals nutes and YES you can use H202 in your solution. However 3% grade is not recommended, i'd suggest that you purchase a 30% or 35% food grade Hydrogen Peroxide.

How much to use? It's very simple!


% = Concentration of H202
G = Gallons of water in your reservoir
L = Litters of water in your reservoir

1.28 * G / % = Total amount to add in Oz per Gal..

OR

10 * L / % = Total amount to add in Ml per L.


Hope this helps.

thanks, ill be picking up some today. believe its small amount of root rot as all the new growth has come to dead stop in 2 days and all new vegging sprouts are droopy. all happened in 2 days.

Mmmm well, the roots actually submerged look very very healthy. Actually a gorgeous rootball I don't mind telling you. The roots meeting the pod however don't look so hot. How does it smell in there? Your water looks nice and clean too.

I would definitely follow the advice of hte above poster and invest in a 4litre or so bottle of 35 percent hydrox, or 29 if u cant find the 35. My advice: Start very low and work your way up on the hydrogen peroxide. My dailed in amount is 2 ml per gallon, so as you can imagine a 4 litre bottle lasts a long time. I use it weekly in my res changes. For treating root rot, I would triple that amount and use it with just plain water until the problem clears up. Make sure you put the hydrogen peroxide into a separate volume of water and let it oxidize for 30 minutes before adding it to your rootzone, or you'll risk damaging your roots further. If used correctly, it's a powerful tool in any hydroponic growers arsenal. Save the 3% shit for your cuts. GL.

thanks I really appreciate the help, I gotta bottle of sensizyme atm until I can find the peroxide locally. been using it for a week havent seen any improvement.

I had absolutely terrible results with sensizym, i wouldn't recommend it for a second. Go to your hydro store and look for dutch master zone. Also, there are some articles about using a small amount of bleach to keep the roots while as well (believe it or not). if you're not using any beneficial bacteria in your res, consider zone or bleach, either might be a solution for you.

I need help my ppms keep rising and ph level drops a couple every day just did nute change blue dream out grew my room roots look brown left nutes at 700 rose to 800 overnight I only have 3 weeks left what should I do ppms were at 1000 but I lowered them down but still rising and adding water every other day my second grow I grew indica first time aced it sativas have giveing me every problem there possible is. also I have mites and small mount of mold but not on buds should I cut the leaves mighty wash works well for mites I veged for six weeks blue dream didnt expect monsters or no how to train them like I did my kush strain these are all well over 6ft any advice will help thanks

Ease off on the ppms...if the ppms are getting higher than the plant already has too much food.

And for all you math idiots like myself, all of the food grade H2O2 products have the dilution amounts on the directions. Most hydro shops carry 29 to 35 percent food grade H2O2. The 3% sold at stores has toxic stabilizers in it that should not be used on food or other consumable crops, besides costing you 10 times what the more concentrated products cost. Always keep your reservoir below 70 degrees F (preferably 65) and use Roots Excelurator for the first couple of weeks of the plants life to get a good root ball going, then switch to H2O2. The growth acceleration will be amazing! Cost of a gallon of 29% H2O2? About 30 US dollars. Cost of a liter of Roots Excelurator? About 280 US. Can we say rip off? The H2O2 not only oxygenates your res, but kills most common bacteria like Pythium. And when it breaks down, it breaks down into H2O, leaving no harmful residue or tastes. You can't use H2O2 if you're using organics though because it will kill the good bacteria too. Why anyone wastes time and effort using organics when the chemical nutes are the exact same thing is beyond me. You save absolutely nothing, make a big damn mess, and have to wait for a tea to brew when the chemical nutes are already formulated for instant plant uptake. It might make you seem all hip and earth friendly, but save that shit for outside. Another plus to H2O2 is not having to change the res every week. You can go for two weeks if you give a new dose of H2O2 every 5 days. Half the nutes, half the cost.
