Anyone living near the North Coast recommend a source for 30%-50% Hydrogen Peroxide. None of the Hydroponics stores carry it.

I also looked high and low for some. The ONLY place I found was online from Guardian of Eden www.dfwx.com/h2o2products.html. A gallon costs about $50 with shipping. Be careful when you open the box though and take apart the plastic the bottle is wrapped in. It leaks (by design) and is VERY caustic!
btw Its food grade ie 35%

why do you need such a high percentage???

3% and 6% have additives that may not be the best thing for your plants.
I guess I will have to order some. It seems like there should be some source locally, I just can not find it.
I really want to start using it in my res with Ebb and Flow.

Do you have a name for the store? Can pm it if you feel funny about name dropping.

I found 19.5% on Ebay. Expensive, but hay.
I did order a small bottle 35% for an online source. Man, it has to be cheaper locally.

Found some info at http://www.h2o2.com/intro/faq.html
"[SIZE=-1]11. Where can I buy (industrial strength) H2O2? [/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]As a producer of H2O2, FMC deals primarily in full truckload quantities of bulk chemical (4,000 gallons) in concentrations of 35, 50, and 70% by weight. Through US Peroxide (which provides mini-bulk storage and dosing modules), we are able to deliver less-than-full-truckload quantities (500 - 2500 gallons) in concentrations of 35 or 50% by weight. Packaging of 35 and 50% into 55-gallon drums (and in some cases 300-gallon totes) is available from most industrial chemical distributors. Certain of these distributors (e.g., those serving the textile, food or metal finishing industries) offer product in 5-gallon or 15-gallon carboys. Smaller quantities (pint or gallon containers) of 30 or 35% H2O2 can be purchased through laboratory supply houses that handle chemical reagents. Since chemical distribution is largely a regional business, please let us know your location and requirements, and we will direct you to the appropriate source."[/SIZE]

I came across that to. The problem is that there is a $25.00 hazmat fee on a gallon. I fidure if there was a local source, it should be cheaper.

I was guessing at the harm part, but I know that 3% is not just 100% hydrogen peroxide diluted down. There are other items in it. I will put the math up here later that I did to figure out the price per ml of the active ingerdient, H2O2, in the 2 that I compared, it took a little more thinking than I wanted to do at that moment, if you know what I mean.

'Word you guys dont need the over priced shit been using cheapest bottles I can find and it works just as well. Only a few companys mess with shit like that so chances are your are buying the same shit different label. paying $50 a gallon I can get that for $5 same shit different island.

a 5 dollar bottle is alread diluted to 3%, so no matter how much you add you will never get a good concentration. If you to the math on % vs price, except fo tthe shipping the strong stuff is the way to go.
Your going to be dilluting it anyways is what im trying to say. It doesnt need to be that strong for what your using it for.
Your cleaning roots not a rusted infect wound and even then 3% works unless its to sever then it has to be stronger to eat some nasty looking enfections. Plant pests and algea are weak.
Would be a steal if you could find it at cheaper prices otherwise it just seems like to much for so little you know?
