era, thats a bit vague...


hmmm, well, would it be soil or hydro?

its soil. my containers are party cups. plants are on day 17 veg right now. I normally ues about a quart for 4 plants every 2 waterings.

What are u trying to accomplish by adding peroxide to ur water that u intend to water ur plants with?

 

[Badbackguy]

Im not a soil guy, but Ive heard that it can help with pests (mites, etc.)
I know it can do wonders in a hydro environment with regards to getting extra oxygen to the roots among other things, but in soil, Im not sure,


sorry

I use h2o2 in my water for soil to kill any bacteria that may be in the tap water......

Its good for the root system ...

How so?

My understanding also, that after you mix it, you apply it. not a mixture you leave stored, thats just waht Ive heard..

I agree. I read a thread that said that H2O2 breaks down into water after a few days.

 

[Badbackguy]

So did the op ever mention what his intentions are for h2o2?

More o2 to the roots ... i use h202 all the time .

I guess when it shakes the extra oxygen molecule when turning to water, that molecule helps oxygenate the rhizoshphere. Guess it makes sense. Am I on point with my analysis? the downside is it will kill beneficial bacteria along with the bad.Were we correct about not letting the mixture sit too long? Good to know hazeseeker. Thanks.

My plans are for hygentic reasons. Ive heard about the hydro from and adding it to help oxygen content. But all i was trying to do was kill bacteria and help with growth a little bit.

 

[BWC BayArea]

It will kill most if not all bacteria, good and bad. dunno bout helping with growth.

i scratched the idea. I will look more into it when i go back to hydro.
