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...
 
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!
