hydrogen peroxide and use?

Ive herd some good things about using hydrogn peroxide on plants. Is there a chart on using it with cannabis or not? any help with this would be apreciated.

I use 3% h2o2 in my dwc set up,I use 1 tsp per gal.my plants are at 8 weeks and I have had no problems so far.

have you been doing this since the plant was a sprout? Cause i have two sprouts and im wondering if I should start that HydroPeroxide treatment now or later in growth?

I'd like to know the story on hydrogen peroxide also. I have a DWC setup that I literally just started last night but I transplanted my 10day olds into it from soil pots. I would like to know if you should use hydrogen peroxide throughout the entire grow or just certain stages?

Come on you experienced people! Explain hydrogen peroxide to us!

Bump2 - never heard of this - I'm interested. Is it just for Hydro growers, or can a dirt farmer like myself use it?

I use a half cup for ever 10gals water work great my root are nice and white. GOOD LUCK.......

If you are having any bacterial issues in your resivor from using a P supplement and aeration. I have seen suggestions of people using a mild H2O2 solution to keep it in check. You can also add O2 to your plants by using it as well..

I wouldn't use it in soil, it kills bacteria and fungi indescriminately. Not something you want to!

Well I just added about 4 teaspoons to my 5 gallon DWC. Hope that was a good thing....... gulp

Lulu for dwc its better to keep the bacteria under your control. Id add the good ones back.

What do you mean you would add the good ones back? I'm not understanding you. Sorry

good to know!

Vodoo juice, oregonism XL, white widow, roots, sub-m. They all add fungi and bacteria to the root zone. Your plants only do some of the work for nutrientg uptake. Microscopic things do the majority of the work! They infect the plant, feed off of dying plant tissue, fix nitrogen and destroy built up salts.

More specifically the mycorrhizal and trichoderma fungi. The mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the roots. There is endomycorrhizal fungus which forms an intracellular relationship (on the inside) and ectomycorrhizal which forms an extracellular relationship, a 'sheath' on the outside. The fungus serves various purposes for the plant roots including the uptake of water and nutrients and even protects the roots from unfriendly fungus and bacteria.
Then there are several species of bacterial microorganisms that also assist in breaking down organic matter, preventing salt accumulation and fixing nitrogen (from the atmosphere). These are all part of the microherd, which is of particular and extreme importance in organic agriculture (including indoor organic ganja gardening).

Along with the products toquer mentioned, these microbes are also found in some Fox Farm products: soils like Ocean Forest and Peace-Of-Mind dry fertilizers. Typically products will say on the front if that they contain mycorrhizae and/or trichoderma, then they'll list the species and the populations.
The point is: if you are using these products and your plant has formed a symbiotic relationship with the microherd, then you don't want to wipe the microherd out by using hydrogen peroxide. This will put negative stress on the plant, which is now suddenly forced to process and uptake nutrients itself. Growth and potentially yield and potency could be negatively affected.
Hydrogen peroxide isn't the only thing that is horrible for micro-organisms, and especially in organic soil grows; you should avoid it, along with chlorine/chloramine (tap water), synthetic nutrients and chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
