Depending on the nutes being used doesn't hurt to have peroxide in the Res. Helps with dissolved oxygen and prevents root problems from starting. If using organics with any amount of microbial activity using peroxide is counter productive as it kills most everything. I got a link around here somewhere if anyone is interested. But bass is correct, using a chiller does more or less the same deal. Water at a low temp can hold more oxygen and prevents fungus or bacteria outbreaks.

i use peroxide if i have an issue or to sterilise gear. Def dont use it with any enzymes or benificial bacteria. I use alot of enzymes and they look after roots for me so i rarely need to use it, but it will help with root rot and higher temps to add oxygen.

Actually, DM Zone is q must have for hydro. Root rot cannot even begin with that in your system.

Peroxide is a must for all hydro. I use it constantly at a 0.03% solution.

Whats a .03% ??...breake that down to how much per gal...thank you very much...

I think that should work. I'm not saying its the best way but I've always used it and its available everywhere. Like myself who has to drive quite some way to a hydro shop.

I buy my peroxide at 30% food grade

How many air stones do you use per bucket?

 

[Cultivator]

its more the strength of pump and size of airstone that matters. I usually use 1 or 2 ball shape air stones with the smallest holes possible. Micro pores air stone i think they called, dont quote me for def on that but its something along those lines. Thats per 21litre bucket, bigger res = more air stones.

Some plants mature faster then others. Im running GLR right now.

 

[Cultivator]

but thats the case using regular lighting. if u are growing seed they will always mature at diff times even if its only slight. thats why i stick with cuttings for the most part. I never grow seed straight to flower now. i'll take seeds veg and pick the best ones, turn them to mothers then take cuttings. i like short veg periods and thats tricky with seed, u need to allow them to reach maturity. a cutting is mature the second u take it, providing its came from a suitable mother. cuttings from the same mother should flower at the same rate.
