I use the 3% hydrogen peroxide add 3 tsp hp to 1 gal water. Fixed the root rot in my tomato. From what I read if using the 35% food grade peroxide, About 1/2 tsp per 1 gallon.

[@mskraft]

Thank you for the review! I like the Bontanicare CalMag, so this one will be an add to the mix👍🏾

[@joshuarudd6297]

Glad I could be of help!

[@German-Hydroponics]

I have ben using Hydrogen peroxide for my RDWC Hydroponic System for years. I use it for all stages. I use 0.02ml (49.9%) on 1 l Water. Plants are happy 👍🌱 Maybe you overdosed it. Thanks for putting in the work! Cheers from Germany 🇩🇪

Thanks for this bro very helpful cheers mate

Informative, thank you

[@bs4638]

The Metamucil plastic label covers are probably not effective in preventing light from passing through. I suggest you cover the entire container with aluminum foil or a reflective material. It should help prevent algae growth, to start with.

[@janszreniawski]

Isn't H2O2 supposed to be used only to prep the roots before introducing beneficial bacteria (and after infections)?

[@robertthegrowguy7115]

My buddy uses the one in Warwick

[@daviddahl83]

What else is in the water? This is hydroponic? I have no experience with hydroponic growing but would like to learn.

[@cheflife420]

Did I miss the amount per gallon

[@loganladue2]

How much did you use? You can use 3% hydrogen peroxide 1tsp per gallon of water from what I've seen with no issue.

[@swish4773]

Ive used hydrogen peroxide 3% through an entire hydroponic grow with no issues.

[@Topsrite]

Hey is Metamucil better than miralax?

[@melanieklarofficial]

Maybe too strong a solution of hydrogen peroxide?

[@HydroHavenGrow]

Interesting. Looks like that would be handy to have. Thumbs up smashed.

[@joshuarudd6297]

Thanks!

[@jasonjamesbisson]

I have a problem maybe you can help me sort out. So I'm gonna have to work away from home for 2weeks at a time. I want to set up a drip system and reservoir to water a Organic grow. I will be Ammending the media with Dry Ammendments and Teas when I'm home. I want something for my Reservoir to help keep it sanitized to some extent. I'm torn between some Peroxide into eh Reservoir when I fill it up or Hydroguard. This reservoir will be left unattended for 2 weeks. Regards

[@sandrastembridge4226]

Just use hydrogaurd. Will be ok. Peroxide will be gone before leaving house.

[@joshuarudd6297]

Thanks for helping out! Good advice

[@jasonjamesbisson]

@@sandrastembridge4226 lol good point. All those plans got put on hold. I'm not working at all now but i get to run Organic all winter I guess and just be me 😂😆👍 thanks for the response . Keep on growing on!

[@jonesy3007]

What was the concertation of Hydrogen Peroxide that you used?

[@joshuarudd6297]

4mil per gallon as per the container. I never added anymore

[@DK-pr9ny]

@@joshuarudd6297 too weak..

[@joshuarudd6297]

More like too strong. If it was too weak, you would see root rot. The roots are white but the plant is stunted meaning overdose.

[@RabeaHussain]

I thought HP is for flushing root rot for few hours and then you add nutrients and benefecial bacteria again ..right? Anyways anyone know of a good product similar to hydroguard but in powder form ?

[@joshuarudd6297]

Yep, I learned the hard way HP will kill your plants if u leave it in. Old video. The only 2 products I know is hydroguard and revatilize.

[@RabeaHussain]

@@joshuarudd6297 thanx .. can't ship liquid to Bahrain sadly.. i tried great white before it doesn't work

[@assog5737]

I don't understand how you were growing these. What did you do just fill those containers up with water. And then put hp in one, and hydro guard in the other. And then just let them sit there like that and grow. So the water wasn't circulating ? The hydro guard does work well. The hydro guard has only one ingredient in it. And with hg you can add other micros and run like a live reservoir. With hp you can't. I've never used hp before and probably never will. I've never had any problems with the micros that I run. I run 25 different ones. And one of those is whats in hydro guard.

[@joshuarudd6297]

That method of growing is called Kratky. You don’t need the water recirculating or have an air bubbled if you allow the roots to receive oxygen by not filling the container up all the way but allowing some roots to be exposed to air. I also added liquid fertilizer as well also. I hope that answered your question.

[@kornshadow097]

You seem to have used too much. You used 1% based on the dose. 0.5% is what is recommended for young plants. 1% is for plants in stable veg state. I'm currently fighting it. I got rid of it but the downside of peroxide is it won't promote growth which saves the plant. H2o2 just cleans and then goes away...

[@SteveJ619]

You're obviously making your hydrogen peroxide too strong. I use 3% hydroponics peroxide and I probably mix just a few squirts into my water. Probably barely even a teaspoon .. I use it for seedlings. I use it for clones. If I'm not going to be using clone X it depends on how I'm feeling. Or if I'm using a root plug for the second time I'll just hydroponics peroxide it and I've never had anything get burnt like the way I'm seeing yours. Yours is obviously way too strong ... I have hydro guard also.... The only reason I don't use hydrogen peroxide is when Im using mycorriza and azos instead because you'll kill the mycorriza with hydroponics side ... I'm using a real earth box .. my roots are not in the bottom reservoir yet and I've had water in the earth box for about a week now. I put a squared of hydroponics peroxide in there but I really don't want hydroponics peroxide wicking up into my soil that has micros and mycorriza in it because I'm using like roots organic stuff this time. .. I was thinking about adding hydro to my reservoir instead of hydroponicside to keep the water clean until the roots finally hit the bottom and start drinking because I don't want the water to get all moldy because I'm actually using a heater in my tent and I do have a cardboard shield next to the box to protect the box and plant from the immediate heat .. But my house downstairs is about 60° and I don't want my plant getting that cold at night because I usually fool your spread right when it gets dark and I don't want to wet and cold all night long . ... The light keeps it warm in the day ... But our house is always freezing cold in the winter. So. .. I think I am will use a few drops of hydrogen peroxide it should evaporate out

That is because the perioxide is just oxygen and you still need nutrients You have no clue what you are talking about. Hydrogaurd no way. I have photos with massive kayle and a hemp plant 2 stories tall. Has nothing to do with perioxide killing your plant, you take a child and only feed it water and oxygen and forget about nutrients what will happen? If you would have placed what I add to the water the plant on the right would grow 1/2 an inch everyday. I did a test with a tomato and took all seeds from the same tomato plant and gave them all just miracle grow a non organic fertilizer and I added my 90 nutrients into 5 plants with H202 and they grew twice as fast and had tomatoes on the plant already You give me your nutrient and I will show that you are wrong. To just add water and oxygen with no nutrients into the water at first the one on the right grew faster but once the nutrients was gone from the water, how can a child grow of you stop feeding it? Put perioxide with the product on the left? Must have more nutrients in the water Did you do a TDS test Total devolve solids test, Answer in no.

[@ThePartyNetwork]

You want to see pictures I have here? And I have a video showing to add a tea spoon full of liquid Nutrients to your hydrogen petioxide test will blow your other product out of the water. Add a place for us to show our own test and videos or even pictures

[@sandrastembridge4226]

Hydrogen peroxide does not contain nutrients. Hydrogaurd does have nutrients.

[@joshuarudd6297]

I didn’t know hydroguard had nutrients. I killed the plant because you are only supposed to flush with hydrogen peroxide not keep it in the container. Rookie mistake

[@earisu]

Hydroguard doesn't have nutrients, it does have a beneficial bacteria which HP does not (and would kill any that tried to live there)

[@sandrastembridge4226]

@@joshuarudd6297 keeping it in container is ok. It breaks down to oxygen. It does not stay. Is important to check your ph. I do not know why I said hydro gaurd has nutrients. I use it for long term protection. Need to check ph with this product also. Once your plant gets root rot can be hard to save.

[@joshuarudd6297]

Oh yea I forgot that h202 breaks down fairly quickly.

[@doinksinthePM]

HydroGuard has ZERO nutrients in it. Besides the Bacillus root inoculant, everything else is filler/inert. The only way you could possibly achieve a nutrient benefit is if the inoculant successfully finds organic matter that it's able to convert INTO nutrients. None come in the bottle.

[@petercsigo3314]

Any professional Gardener or commercial operation should stay away from hydrogen peroxide it is a useless product unless you want to clean your equipment with it.

[@joshuarudd6297]

Agreed. Most of the time soap and water works fine. Bleach if you want to sanitize. I’ve learned a lot since this video

[@DK-pr9ny]

Used way too much.
