Foxfarms hydro vs Hydrogen Peroxide

I wanted to use Hydrogen Peroxide to completely eliminate all chance of algae growth and water mold and all the other nasties, and I've heard that Hydrogen Peroxide is great for this, but would it also eat away and destroy my foxfarms nutes that i'm adding? Right now my garden is at 50% nutes so I really wouldnt want to put it in and wipe out all chance of them growing, but I want them as healthy as possible. Anyone know about this?

Wish I had the link to the guy who says he spoke to fox farm( asuume email or called) and they claim that its fine to use h2o2 with there line. Me being

Being skeptical I wouldn't reccomend it. Since Fox Farm is known for there organics but I think the only product that's 100% organic in their liquid line is Big

Bloom but I could be wrong. Just my 2 cents!

Peace and Good Vibes

It is fine to use H2O2 with chemical nutes as long as your no also using something like hygrozyme. H2O2 is to strong of an oxidizer to use with orgainics as it kills al the beneficial ezymes and bacteria needed with organic fertilizers or soil. Organic nutrient enzymes and beneficial baceria can only tolerate very, very low doses of H2O2. So low that there is no benefit behind even using the H2O2. Chlorine is a weaker oxidizer than H2O2 and chlorine can not be used with organic fertilizers as organic fertilizers are not uptaken by plant roots until the fertilizer is converted by bacteria and enzymes into a usable form. Both H2O2 and Chlorine kill those bacteria and enzymes. So it really does not hurt the fertilizer, but it kills the bacteria and enzymes that make the organic fertilizers usable by the plants. Chemical fertilzers are already in a usable form so the chlorine and H2O2 does not effect nutrient uptake. As well no "beneficial bacteria or enzymes" are nneded by chemical fertilizers so chlorine or H2O2 are purposely used to run a sterile or near sterile growing environment.
