I have used H2O2 in the past as a res additive, but since I am now using some organics, I have not used it.
As I have said in a prior post, I now have a bacterial infection in my res, and I am fairly sure in my rockwool as well (roots look good). I want to flush the medium/plants with a strong H2O2 solution (I have a bottle of 35%) to destroy the bacteria so it will not reinfest my res, but I do not know how much to use. All I can find is "do a dip in a strong H2O2 solution)........what is strong, and is a dip a dunk and out or a soak.
My plan is to make a 5% solution and submerge the pot into it (rockwool/hydroton in 6" nursery pot) to the base of the stalk and let it soak until the "fizzing" stops. Will this work??? If not, how do I wash the medium to kill the bacteria that is living in it?? I did a Clearex flush, but it didn't work. Am also using Sensizym, but that ain't working either. Am just feeding to waste right now, which will get pricey, but is necessary until I can run a recirculating system again w/o fear of reinfection.
HELP!!!
