Yes it is. H2O2 breaks down around the 3 day mark...even sooner if there is a lot of algae, bacteria, ect. to combat. If everything is OK, and normal, it should be breaking down into the water around 3 days or so, due to slowly releasing its extra O2. Remember its natural so if you add the 3% dilute every other day (to battle the rot) it wont hurt the plant.

I suggest buying a large container of 35% food grade H2O2 (use caution), and dilute it down to 3%. To dilute the 35% H2O2 to 3% mix at a 1:11 ratio, 1 part (1 quart aka 250ml) to 11 parts (11 quarts) distilled water. If you get three 1-litre bottles that are black (to prevent light from entering), you can fit the example I used perfectly of 1qt. H2O2: 11 qts. distilled water..

hey blazin... not to sure i understand your problem... do u have rot at the base of the plant or root rot on the roots .... if its at the base of the stem may be to late...
if its not to advanced h2o2 will help .. 1.7 mill per litre for several days straight will start to push it back... the 1.7 mil every other day for maintance .
you dont need to dilute beforre adding 35 % grade in the tanks though... good luck
