How much peroxide should I use?

[paintballa0407]

Okay first off I use Hydrogen peroxide, like for cuts and stuff, to help with my O2 problen? How much should I put in about 4-5 Gal. Thanks.

I add 2tsp. per gallon to my water farm 8-pack reservoir. I add peroxide each time I add fresh water and nutes to my reservoir.

Honestly, I have never been able to locate a specific recipe or measurement for adding hydrogenperoxide to nutrient tanks.

Well, if your using the good stuuf, food grade which is 10% H2O2, you use 1teaspoon per 10 gallons of water. Thats right off the bottle.

I paid 97 cents for a big ass bottle at Target. I think its just 3% stuff, but good point about reading the label. I did not think of that. /smacks head

How would one determine if they were using too much H2O2? I certainly don't notice any ill effects from adding 2tsp. per gal. Again, i think its the 3% stuff, so I dunno. /shrug

Damn I added like 5-6 tsp and right now, I have no clue what % it is. I hope its 3. Is it supposed to make bubbles to reach the roots better cause that's what I saw when I added it.

Its safe to say that you have a 3% solution. I think you would know if you bought a 10% solution as it would be clearly labeled on the bottle.

Paint -- Did you put the peroxide straight on the plant or did you mix it with the water first? It shouldn't "boil" like when you use it on a cut on your skin.

Did you see any improvement after adding the peroxide? I'm going through the same problem now myself.

[paintballa0407]

I just put the peroxide right into the rez. I didnt mean boil like when it does with a cut, I meant it looks like it creates more bubbles of 02 so its better carried to the roots. The leaves that were yellow at first have gotton alil better and The next set of leaves are back to green.


I have a quick question for anyone who knows. Right now Ive got my plant tied to the side and I can the the side branches sorta becoming like another main stem,, do you think I should top it right now? My plant is about a month old and Im about to start flowering. Thanks

You could let it veg another month if you have the room. Yes, when you tie the main stem down the side shoots all become bigger colas. That's what I do, anyway.

10% H2O2 is food grade? i asked for food grade and dude gave me 35% H2O2.

there are instructions on the bottle, but for hydroponic reservoirs; nothing for soilless mix application.

is it safe to use the same ratio for soilless mix containers? safe to be applied @that ratio every watering?
or is it like most everything else and needs to be halved for non-hydroponic applications?
