Question about H202 with GH FloraNova

I'm growing in a hydro setup using FloraNova and Liquid Karma. I've got a problem with root-rot, can I use H202 with these nutes, or do I have to go with something like Cannazyme?

The problem is minor right now, but I'd like to fix it quickly.

Please, do not tell me to use bleach, I've read some people have success with it, but there is no way I'm putting that crap in my body.

Hydrogen peroxide is the better choice between the two. Sodium hypochlorate is inexpensive, but also nowhere near as affective as hydrogen peroxide. When it comes to root rot, you need to be able to constantly treat your roots to keep them in check as you never really get rid of it throughout a grow. Hydrogen peroxide is safe to use, is naturally found in top soil, and breaks down to water and oxygen while killing root rot dead. In hydro you can treat your tank every 4-5 days with it quite safetly to keep pythium at bay.

That's what I was hoping for. Cannazyme is expensive and bleach seems counter-intuitive after spending money on an RO water filter Thanks Jonus +rep.

YES, you can use h2o2 with floranova and liquid karma. The only negative side effect of h2o2 is it kills all bacteria, bad and good alike. It works great for ridding root rot and nasty shit going on in a reservior. Enzyme products will not kill bacteria and won't have the effect your looking for. Hygrozyme is an interesting product that has the functions of both enzymes and h2o2, sort of. H2o2 is primarily used in hydro systems, not soil container gardens but I suppose you could use it in both?
