Too much hydrogen peroxide?? ROOT ROT

Is there such thing as too much hydrogen peroxide??. I run DWC, and in 5 gallon buckets. I recently noticed root rot on my plants. I missed a water change one week due to being on vacation, when I came back my non flowering plant was starting to wilt, smelly brown roots, etc. So I cut most the roots off and stuck it outside in the soil, should've started to flower but I know it's gonna take a bit for that one to recover, (if it does.) Before i stuck that one outside, I dunked them for a few minutes into high ratio hydrogen peroxide: water. Then put then back in their buckets and probably dumped a third of a big bottle of 3% 946 ml. Waited 2-3 days no change, so I stuck the non flowering one outside. And the one in flower was just about done. So I've been patiently waiting for it to start to turn amber before chopping. So the leaves on the buds were starting to turn yellow and die, so I checked the trichomes and it's done! So I started trimming. My other question here, is it it okay to smoke?? With not being able to really flush, and all the hydrogen peroxide, and root rot spreading to the leaves?? It does have a different smell when I walk into the tent, but I'm thinking I'm just smelling the roots. When I grab the buds and smell them they smell amazing. Also will the root rot spread to the smaller plant in soil in the tent??

Your plants suffer from high nitrogen and root asphyxiation.

The problem is totally in the root of the plant being soaked up too much dirt

High ratio? That's as clear as mud.
"probably dumped a third of a big bottle of 3% 946 ml." Into what? A 1 gallon pot? 10 five gallon pots?

I've seen 12-30 ml/gallon of 3% recommended for hydro.

H2o2 is junk. Don't use it.

Hypochlorous acid, or pool shock is the way to go.

Bleach works, but I would only use it if I didn't have access to HOCI
