Check the link in my siggy, inside you'll find a link under a post by Rusty Trichome that will lead you to a molasses guide.

As for H2O2, don't waste your time or money. Don't add it to your water because it mucks up pH and the roots don't absorb CO2 anyhow...

Here's a link to a forum thread on another site that has a few smart people who know what they're talking about discussing the futility of spraying or using carbonated water.

Soda/Seltzer Water as CO2 Spray

Best quote from thread:
"
You have to understand how CO2 is used by plants... CO2 is the plants air, as such there must be a certian amount in the air space around the leaves at all times in order for them to respire, just like we need oxygen, plants require carbon dioxide... And just like humans we breath in specialized ways through specialized organs, you could not just spray water, which contains oxygen, on your arm or face and think that your respitory system can make any use of it... A plant is the same they breathe through pours or stoma located on the underside of the leaves, the stoma only take in gases

Also breathing is not like eating, we don't have much control over breathing, it is basically controlled by our central nervous system, which we have very little control over, the more oxygen the cells require the more we automatically breathe... The point being that we do not not control our CNS and nor do plants, in order to influence things like this we must stimulate our peripheral nervous system in a way that they stimulate our CNS, so for example you can go jogging to increase your heart rate and oxygen intake... in plants we need to raise temps and increase waterings in order to stimulate CO2 transpiration, even in elevated CO2 environments

So to make a long story short, lol, spraying with carbonated water will benefit no more then plain ole' tap water, and it has nothing to do with CO2 transpiration.
