Newbie with H202 Peroxide 3% will it kill or help?
- Thread starter SIV3L
- Start date
it hads the extra O molecule that attaches to the roots, more oxygen on the roots the better when in the medium. too much will kill a plant though, be careful

It won't hurt it in any case. If you have a reason to use it, use it. If you don't have a reason to use it, many use it anyway.

Thanks for the info guys I have read multiple likes and dislikes. I decided to go ahead and use it at 1 tbsp per gallon. The plants seem to be doing fine and PH is still good 5.7-6.2 range since this morning. I change out the rez every two weeks, but things accumulate within those two weeks that I don't want messing with roots. Peroxide sounds to be a good solution for this. Anyone know how frequently this should be done to the rez?

PERFECT! I can add H202 in small doses according that first thread using the 3% in a 7Gal rez. I was thinking I might go 3ml per/gal every day to keep things simple yet effective. Great links!

One tablespoon per gallon would be daily.

Now i bet you want to know how much to add right?
Here is Ozgrowa's H2O2 formula:
Quote:
US Standard
1.28*G/C= Liquid Oz's per day
Metric
10*L/C= Ml per day
C= % concentration of H2O2
L= Number of liters in reservoir
G= Number of Gallons in reservoir
Example: How much 3% H202 should I add to 7 gallons of nutes?
1.28*7/3=2.986 Oz's each day.
And a quote from Oz explaining if it's safe to use.
Quote:
Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down to hydrogen and oxygen within 3 days of being added either to a hydroponic solution or a soilmix. There is no residual with it, it becomes oxygen and hydrogen gas. It is not un-natural in the least, it forms the basic building blocks of life, its just a stable liquid form of oxygen.
Wolfman, myself and a lot of others use this both in our Hydroponics grows (me) and in soil grows (wolfman), the pictures speak for themselves, the additional chloroplastic activity as a result of the chlorophyll deeping will give you much thicker stems and larger leaves, with much deeper green. Yes the plants can absorb more light. the solution will also be much cleaner as the organic matter is oxidized to make...oxygen
So, there you have it everyone!
Now, go get your bottle of H2O2 today!
Found this very useful.

I use 6 tablespoons for 6 gallons of water, and I rough that out to a 1/3 cup measuring cup. So a cup lasts 3 days and a quart lasts 12 days. I get it for 98 cents a quart.

Thanx for the formula guys this is a great thread as I am fighting some root issues myslef.Now i bet you want to know how much to add right?Here is Ozgrowa's H2O2 formula:
