Re: Anomoly's 1100 Watt HID/LED Hydro/Soil Grow/Multi Strain Indicas
Absolutely you may always ask! And, you absolutly know more than just "something" about this growing stuff. I've seen the pics, you got mad Kung Fu!
For the Hydrogen Peroxide...
When in doubt, always ere on the side of caution and add LESS than you think you'll need. It's easier to add than take away.
For the 6gal res on the blue mystic grow, I used 2oz - 2.5 oz h2o2,per 6 gallons reservoir solution.
Here is the formula used, I've referred to it as the "Ozgrowa Equation":
US Standard
1.28*G/C= Liquid Oz's per day
Metric
10*L/C= Ml per day
C= % concentration of H2O2
L= Number of liters in reservoir
G= Number of Gallons in reservoir
Example: How much 3% H202 should I add to 7 gallons of nutes?
1.28*7/3=2.986 Oz's each day.
Now "Ed" mentioned in an article that you can go as high as 3oz h2o2/per gallon, but that may just be in an extreme case of disinfecting a root mass.:
If I may ask how much H202 were you using, My res is filled to about 10 gallons maybe a bit more did you use a ml per litre conversion to determine how much H2o2 to use or do you just add like a cap full ? I am not sure how much to add to the res.

"When used properly, hydrogen peroxide can keep infections in the garden to a minimum and stimulate root growth by increasing the oxygen content of the water. Hydrogen peroxide degrades into free oxygen and water over a three-day period. Some of the oxygen dissolves in the reservoir water and is used by the roots.
Different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide solution are available. It is sold diluted to 3% in drug stores. Some indoor garden shops sell 10% grade and 35% grade is sold in a few health food stores and over the Internet. The 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be used topically to sterilize cuts and infections. Hydrogen peroxide solution at 10% burns skin. 35% hydrogen peroxide solution acts much like a concentrated acid and is handled as a hazardous, corrosive liquid.
The 10% hydrogen peroxide solution is sometimes used at rates as low as one ounce per 10 gallons water; however, enrichment using an ounce per gallon is more effective for disease control. When 35% hydrogen peroxide solution is used, it can be added at the rate of three ounces per 10 gallons of water. If a 3% solution is used, use three ounces per gallon of water."
