Using 12% HO2O

Ok question I'm using GH Trio is it bad to use 12% peroxide along side with nutrients. Asking cause I don't wanna kill anything beneficial to the plants or roots.

You are asking a very broad question. For one, you need to address the dilution rate and why you want to use it. Also, of course it will kill lbeneficials at a certain strength. I use multiple Bennies and only resort to h2o2 for emergency healthcare! If you are asking whether it is safe to combine with Nutrients the answer is YES. However if you are referring to H020 that is something entirely different! That is HO 2O just barely legal...

Yes, I use 12% hydrogen peroxide. Just dilute it according to reason for use.

I don't, though it can't hurt to do so.

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) > H202 (hydrogen peroxide)

Bleach is both safer to use and harder to overdo with longer sterilizing and cleaning effect. The sodium part is minute compared to the hypochlorite side of the molecule and the application rate is extremely low hence no Sodium to cause any plant related problems, arguably only positive.

There's many chlorine based commercial product marketed towards growers like "Pyth Off" or "Silver bullet", all of them containing hypochlorous acid, the same active compound found in bleach.

If you go the chlorine route I have the dilution calculator with recommendations in my signature.

All the best of luck!

Cheers!

Thanks man check your DMs

I struggled with aero last year when I first moved into this house. Even with crazy amounts of bleach, my roots would rot in a couple of days. I decided to go the benny route, and I found two amazing products that have worked wonders for me, and several others here. They are designed for ponds and aquariums, but are amazingly effective in hydro. Plus, they are super cheap. They are both from a company called API. The first is Tap Water Conditioner that neutralizes chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals. The other is Ecofix, which is a super concentrated liquid blend of beneficial bacteria. I only add a small amount twice per week. I've tried hydroguard, Great White, and SA's GFF all with some success. But the Ecofix is a game changer. My rez temps get into the mid 80s, but all my roots stay a pristine white. You can find these items on amazon.
