does h202 in fact kill all your benifical microbobes???

i have been told time and time again that if uou add h202 it kills all the mycos, i have recently started useing the h202 during my flush days every week. and have noticied good results. does anyone know the facts i would love to hear from someone about it. thanks alot

If you use h202 every week then you have no mycos to kill. It takes six weeks for them to form a colony.

The amount of microbes h202 kills depends on the concentration and duration of the treatment. Levels high enough to kill ALL microbes will also kill your plant.

While it can't actually sterilize a reservoir it is a bacteriostatic depending on the dilution. You need to decide if you are going to run a clean reservoir or not. Frankly I don't understand microbes in hydro. The last thing I want is something fouling my lines and pumps. Further there's no micro climate at the roots like you can create in soil. The water is constantly exchanging. If I were going organics I'd go soil. But realize I'm a newbie and folks with a lot more knowledge will be around.

One thread here that can give you a LOT of info on H2O2 is Al B Fuct's

yup what they said, it'll kill em. Futher Al also says flushing is not necessary and can actually be harmful to your plants. Something about upsetting the ionic balance or some shit.

I would think that if you are using H2O2 you are using it to clean the root zone and kill any slime or algae causing microbes (as I do). Why else would you use it? So yes it will kill beneficials so should not be used for organic hydro or soil imo. The only time I used it in soil was to kill a bad infestation of flies. Any synthetic nutes will also wipe out any beanies that are in the soil as well. As for flushing well thats a debate lol. If following the lucas formula it is also not recommended to flush. Just so all know and dont bash me I flush but not sure why lol. It seems like a good ideal I guess lol. You will find many answers here to the same question and it is up to you to pick the ones that are the most logical and thats the hard part for a newbie like myself lol.

I have no ideal how organic hydro works as I run a sterile rez. Im would think they have organic cleaners and such. I think zymes are made for organics to break down dead plant matter, but could be way wrong . Are you running organic nutes now? I do not do any cleaning to speak of, just flush weekly until the end of the grow and I have not had any real issues other than pump hoses kinking, that was bad lol.
