Make sure you wear gloves and like @Skunkbudz said, rinse.

Don't worry about it. No reaction between such similar items. I used 35% h2o2 for years until I made a chiller from a water cooler. 0.5ml/L twice a week for maintenance and up to 6ml/L daily for 3 - 5 days when battling root rot. 4ml/L will work fine if it's not a raging case.

A lot of people swear by those 'guard' things but if you're going to do straight hydro then sterile is the way to go. Beneficial bacteria are great in organic grows where organics have to be broken down to salts for the plant to eat but hydro nutes cut out the middleman and mainline that juice straight into the plant making the bacteria redundant. If you use those then you can't use bleach or peroxide as it will kill them off right away. If you're using them and still get root rot then it won't matter if they get killed off as they weren't doing the job anyways.

Good luck!

:peace:
