use 3% h2o2 and enzymes?

i was just wondering if anyone has ever used the 3% h2o2 and an enzyme like hygrozyme or hydrogaurd? i just got some of each, havn't used the h2o2 yet, just wanted to know if it could work. but most likely in my mind the h2o2 would problebly kill the enzyme, but mebey not at lower levels as directed by the h2o2 manufacturer. neither the h2o2 or the enzymes say anything about not using them together(i have both hydrogaurd and hygrozyme,but obviously don't use both at the same time). could the h2o2 help the enzyme since it adds more o2 to the water?

i dont know about hydrogaurd, but hygrozyme says on the lable that you can use it in conjuction with h202 at low ppm. Now when they say low in ppm i dont know if that means least hygrozyme or least horticultural h202.

Jugga you are right, but you didn't tell him that h202 kills shit also that is why we use it to kill bacteria, hygrozyme is made up of beneficial bacteria.

Man, I don't know if anyone out there's still reading, but there really isn't a point to use enzymes in conjuction with hydrogen peroxide. if you're using a halfway decent hydro system, you shouldn't need an additive to supply oxygen to the roots because you're properly aerating your water to begin with. The problem with using something like h2o2 (beside the fact that it's no longer being manufactured due to a law suite for not having been registered as a HAZMAT item) is that it's too easy to burn with it, wheras with enzymes you have a smaller margin of error. Besides that, the action of enzymes is something that evolved beside plants, with plants, to mutually benifit each other, so it's a process that the plant, & roots, will be used to. Hydrogen peroxide just kills whatever gets in it's way, and then maybe puts out a little oxygen, so long as you administered it correctly.

And hydrogaurd, which is no longer manufactured as well, is really a product all it's own, more of a biological water treatment solution rather than an enzyme clique or hydrogen peroxide
