Any one with experience know what % of Peroxide to water I would want to use to get some more oxygen to my plants. I am growing in Fox Farm soil.:hump:

there are many different types. go get yourself some super oxy or any food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide aqueios solution (did i spell that right?) at any hydro shop, should be very easy to find, and mix MAXIMUM 1.5 ml per gallon and DONT use it for first to weeks. its good for your plants and i do recommend using it as ive had no problems at all but i use 1ml per gallon. ALWAYS ADD TO WATER FIRST, STIR, LET SIT 20 MINUTES, then add your nutes. hope that helps.

It feeds the good aerobic bacteria and kills the bad anaerobic bacteria. It also introduces free radical oxygen atoms which oxidize elements, making them more available for the roots to assimilate.

I have successfully used h2o2 as a standalone watering for germinating seeds as well as a watering schedule of pure h202 to my soil plants. I have had no problems unless you consider outstanding speedy root growth a problem. I am only using the 3% solution available almost everywhere but I intend to start making a stronger solution once I pick up a bottle of the high grade stuff. The way I see it, I will continue to overly feed the soil with it until I see no more benefits or a problem arise. I think its great stuff myself...

as well I am growing in fox farm ocean forest with a 1:1 ratio with perlite. So give it a try and see how it works for you.
