its just the standard wally-world 3%.

i don't know if this guy knows what he's talking about... butta... (Posted by BlueDiamond)

"Hydrogen peroxide is beneficial as an addition to nutrient feeding programs at all times. It feeds the good aerobic bacteria and kills the bad anaerobic bacteria. It also introduces radical oxygen atoms which oxidize elements, making them more available for the roots to assimilate. I apply 3% H2O2 at a rate of 30ml/gallon to the reservoir. The plants show no visible signs of stress afterwards, which indicates that it was not an excessive application.

Sprouting Seeds: add 30ml 3% H2O2 to 1 pint of water. Soak the seeds overnight.
Insecticide Spray: combine 250ml 3% H2O2 to 1 gallon spray mix. (Or for fungus or mold.)
Fast growing container plants: add 30ml of 3% H2O2 to 1 gallon water.
Hydroponics: apply 3% H2O2 at a rate of 30ml/gallon to the nutrient reservoir"

i don't think i've ever used it anywhere near that strength... i think i maybe use it at around 3 mL per gallon... 30 mL for 10 gal... 300 mL or 10 oz. per 100 gal... every 3-4 days.

what strength do you use it at? and how often? please.

Would a 5 gal bubble bucket be considered hydroponic for this particular mixture of peroxide?

Hydro is hydro, regardless of res size..

So yes.. a bubbler is hydro...:razz:

Just remember H2O2 is NOT compatible with organics...

It will kill the good guys and the bad guys...

No organic ferts or additives allowed;-)

This was interesting enough for me to post here..

I know some of you will have a say... and I want to hear it...

From SZ's thread...:razz:

Awww shit...

I never would have thought that dense, fat nugs would be such a fucking problem.

More mould/budrot.

I was checking out my table full of Rhinos and while handling one plant the fucking bud just sort of disintegrated into my hands.

My displeasure has no end.

Airflow is ample, humidity is low... What the fuck am I supposed to do about this shit???

I can't go losing anymore crops to this garbage.

I guess its time to do some research.

SZ are you plucking the fan leaves?

Only if they are dying.
Should I be?

GypsyBush said:
I have this crazy thought that plucking leaves leaves an open wound inside of the bud...

I can sooooo see 2 or 3 drops bleednig out and not drying out cause the bud is dense...

I have not had that problem.. but I do not touch the leaves... not after a certain point anyways...

Just like a scab.. I let the dead leaves fall on their own...

I know people that SWEAR BY plucking a LOT of leaves in mid to late flower...

But I have seen how much fluid can come out of pulling a leaf, even a dead one...

Just some food for thought...;-)

I HAVE had this problem and I will never pull a gfan leaf off again once flower sets in.

Lost two fat colas on my last rotation because of this. RH never over 55% (normally 39-45%) with ample airflow and I got budrot too. Do you pull them off from anywhere near where this budrot has occurred?

I did and my pics look practically identical to yours. I had some slightly more grey mold as well.

Does it originate from the stalk out?

I think GB may be on to something here.

I don't have a lot of experience, but I did see this first hand. Just 4 days ago I found mold on a plant. When I got to the center of it I found the stem from a leaf that I had cut off. Lost about half a cola from it, and I think the other half is questionable. So thanks for the brain food Gypsy!!!

Zeus, things are looking good for the most part. I'm sorry to hear about your problems. Good luck getting through it!!:peace:

I've had 12/12 from seed give me an oz...:razz:
Click to expand...
Get out!!! :lol: Everyone I've talked to that does 12/12 from seed has gotten more along the lines of .5 oz., often on the higher end.

Now, I don't have HID like you do, so getting 1 oz. with 12/12 from seed isn't very likely; hence my just "playing around" with it. ;) I did switch from CFL to T5 a couple days ago.... Don't "yell" at me Gypsy, I know that not getting HID is a "choice" as you've said, but I don't have the choice right now! :p I can't get my old, extremely poorly insulated house below 86F with an A/C next to my grow tent, so I'm sure you can see that I can't use high temp HIDs till we get a house that has good insulation and cooling. Gotta make do with what I've got! :mrgreen: The good thing about this switch is that I've now got 5,000 lumens per sq. ft. (not optimal, but not bad either), and it is sooo much brighter in my tent than it was with the CFLs; the top of the CFL reflector was hot, whereas the T5 reflector top is very cool to the touch! Needless to say my tent's temp. went down eight degrees (peak now at about 81F for less than an hour at the hottest time of day, and about 72-76F the rest of the day); it's cooler in my tent than it is in the rest of my house.... my babies get better treatment than I do! :lol: Also, the lights are 18"x4', and my tent is 2'x4', so the entire tent is now illuminated instead of less than half of it; my four vegging plants are now spread out instead of crammed against each other; and I can still easily fit two more of the 3 gal. pots in there without crowding, to complete my six mature plant limit. (But IMNSHO, screw that limit for tiny little 12/12 from seed plants! I don't ever draw attention to myself from the law. lol) ANYHOOO, once we've got a home with good cooling and insulation, I'll be getting HID and then the T5 will be for clones/seedlings/vegging.

I know I'm not going to get "great" yields until we've bought a house.... we're bidding on one now, so it's all up to the VA as to whether or not they'll decide that it's "good enough" to approve a VA loan. Fingers crossed! :hump:

From what I've read (and practice if/when I remove a dead leaf) is that you make sure you remove it right against its branch, leaving absolutely no stem leftovers.

Also, if you do remove a leaf, don't cut it. Instead, pinch it off & closed with your fingernails, because the pinching closes off the wound instead of leaving it open for nasty critters to get in there.

My two cents' worth, anyhow. :mrgreen:

And the T5 will do you right.. just make sure to have an even canopy and get the light as close as possible to the plants...

how many waats is your T5?

I have lucked out. The strains I have now are not very leafy at all, compared to what I've had to work with in the past. I haven't removed a single fan leaf and don't plan to. My plants are all 25" or thereabouts now and I can see light all the way through to the dirt most everywhere.

I still think its a bad idea to pluck fan leaves anytime close to the development of large, sticky, dense nugs.

Perhaps the strain I was working with is succeptable to mold, whereas LB's plants were resistant or less likely to succumb. I have heard of mold resistant strains...Food for thought :peace:

It's probably systemic that's why even with low humidity and good air-flow his buds are rotting. Maybe with some beneficials in the reservoir and enzyme treatment further spread could be prevented.

ok you gotta elaborate on this one...:razz:

You say it's possible for it to be a "disease"? something "within the plant" ?

Yes a bacterial or even viral infection, plants can get diseases too. I am certainly no expert botanist but I do know that fruiting and flowering plants are most commonly infected.

My reasoning was based on the fact that only the interior of his buds were rotted and his climate conditions were not favorable to molds. I would be interested to know his reservoir condition.

That's why when you cross the Sierra mountains into California you are greeted by boarder guards that are not looking for drugs or even guns. Nope those guys are looking for fruit. If someone brings in diseased fruit it could potentially wipe out huge harvests from California's fruit industry.

Right right...

I've seen those border stops...

Now, I am pretty sure SZ has a healthy res...

we'll have to ask him about it..
