Pulled this from a blog by a big west coast hydro shop. I've never liked using h202 on plants. You're girls are lookin good though. :jointsmile: Keep it up!

edit: that room temp is too low and you're res temps still just a bit too high. :stoned:
Excuse me, H2O2 is a great oxidizer, that's why we use it for stripping off organic gunk from surfaces and for cleaning our mouths. And when it breaks down, it releases hydrogen and oxygen ions, which kill pathogens.

Your chemistry knowledge is wanting.

Oh, you got it from a *BLOG* and not a scientifically-vetted journal.

If you think a BLOG is a trustworthy source (when in all chances it's just a thinly-veiled ADVERTISEMENT for some other product they're trying to sell,) then you're going to run into so many problems in the future as you start taking nonsense as fact.

Unless that blog gave scientifically validated sources, you just got lied to, and lied to hard.
