Watering with peroxide...

[BrazyJay]

I was wondering if watering with peroxide each watering will hurt my plants... i used about a half capfull of 3% peroxide in a half gallon of water... i have searched everywhere without getting a real answer concerning this. I have been watering each time with this solution and growth is not very good... water was at ph of 7.0 before adding the peroxide but i dont know what it is now... if u want to see pics check out my grow in my sig, going to update with new pics in a few minutes... my plants are 13 days old and growth has basically stopped/growing very slowly at day 8.. thanks

what is the reason for watering with peroxide? changing ph?

[BrazyJay]

to prevent root rot, and give more oxygen to the roots, and prevent algae growth... i have found all of this by searching, even the dosage, but havent found the frequency with which to water them with... its just making me very mad that when i grow outdoors my plants are fine, but the minute i try indoors, it just sucks...

can anyone help me?

You seem to know more about it than the people you are asking.

yea lol ive done extensive research on anything that i try, just never found out how often to use it, i shouldve watered 1 plant with peroxide and the other with just water, but i didnt really think it would hurt them... just trying to figure out if this is the cause for the slow growth on my plants

i think you might want to stop using peroxide and just use botlled fresh water cause ive been growing and ive never used peroxide to water and my plants never experienced root rot or gotten algae the peroxide might be stunting its growth

^ yea thats what ive decided to do, flushed with water about a hour ago... hopefully growth picks up...

your plants are 2 weeks old and need NO HELP FROM YOU, other than water and light

peroxide, also kills beneficial bacterial in the soil, nutrients that the plant needs

Inexperienced growers should only regard peroxide as a remedy for drastic measures

im only inexperienced indoors, never had problems outdoors...

for more o2 to the roots, get a "bubble stone" from a fish tank. next time you re-pot put one of those right at the bottom of the pot, in with your drainage gravel.

I do remember someone on Overgrow who recomended this for extra O2. but i dont remember the amount per gallon, but i do know that he only used once a week.... I personaly nevery tried it but he/she had some very nice plants..

If you can grow outdoors why would you do it in-doors? I produce enuf ouside to get me thru sometimes 2 winters. Indoor is great if you have the experince and know how to deal with mold, dampness, etc. I'm not willing to risk my house to mold if I can do it outdoors. besides way more produce form outdoor. I think way better also.

mold is not a big deal if you know what to look for....

MJ growing in your house is not going to attract any mould spores that would not find their way in anyway.

But I agree with your sentiments entirely, I grow outside, taking full advantage of God´s free sun. And an outdoor plant will produce WAAAAAY more than an indoor plant.
