Im done some research on h2O2 and im having a hard time getting a straight answer on the amount to add to the water. I have 29% food grade bottle and really dont wanna mess up the amount. So if anyone with experience in this subject i really need to know the most per gal amount that is safe for the plants.

thx guys

I'm not sure of a number, but I do know even the drug store kinds which are low percentage need to be diluted to use.
I know it's a small amount per liter or gallon

What is it u are trying to use the h2o2 for? I've done a bit of research on the subject and experimented with using it, and definitely didn't have any noticeably impressive results. I've heard that it can help add oxygen to the roots, but am more convinced it will hurt beneficial items in your environment. Can't remember all the details but just my opinion, even though it's a pretty cheap thing to add to a grow, there are better alternatives for all the reasons you would use it.

H2O2 is good only in hydro because in soil it kills beneficial bacteria. i use it constantly in my res. i have 35% i would use 1/2ml-1ml per liter. don't be fooled by the small amount relative to the res size, this stuff is powerful. biggest benefits for me are preventing root rot and res larvae

Almost killed all my stuff in soil. Just saw the "more oxygen to roots" part and thought it would help. Wrong...not in soil.

I'm not a chemist, but I don't think adding 1ml of H2O2 will do any significant amount of oxygen boosing to water... I think people get hung up on the idea that it could boost O2... It should be used as a rot/fungus preventative in hydro only

this stuff is horrible to use, the fumes will burn you, lol
i would be careful with it , use it once so you can say you have used it, then never buy it again
you really dont need it

All that article did was try to convince me I should be drinking H2O2

It mentions that some farmers use it on their crops with success and suggests a concentration to be used... But gives no mention as to whether it can or cannot harm beneficials in the soil. I'm not trying to be ignorant, but I think many growers have already demonstrated that H2O2 will hurt the beneficials and should not be used in soil. So what good does the information in that article do me?
