badmf, I know you've been around (same handle on OG?) and you've always dished out some good info but 1 ml/gal is basically 1/5 tsp/gal. Most people say 1 tsp/gal (3%) is ok and as was posted here people use up to 1 TBS/gal. Are all these people harming the root hairs without knowing it? Maybe, but it just seems like 1 ml/gal is low.

I only use 35% so if you have household 3% it would be aprox 12 ml, about two and a half tsp(I'd go less!) but you only need the minimum to do the job. Remember this "isn't" an effective insecticide!
As Richeyrich says j"just use Gnatrol"! Peace
PS Same as OG, lol

bad mf. i use expert potting soil. i never said i was an expert. its not good to assume things. it makes you look slow. if i was an expert i wouldnt need to ask about h202. you learn as you go. ive been growing for a long, long time, but sometimes even an expert will come across a situation that they have never been in before.

Yo bro chill, it was just funnin' don't take it that way, its all good! PS Diatoemaous earth can be sprayed too, just shake it first, it leaves plants with a powdery camo look too! The diatoms are 5-20 microns with irregular shapes from microscopic skeletal remains of unicellular algae. Crawlies get cut by the powder, mix with neem purrrfect. Mix 1-4 Tsps per gallon.

You can use 3% H2o2 in a concentration of up to 4 oz per gal. with no harm coming to the plant.

Yes, H2o2 will kill bacteria. It will devastate anaerobic bacterium, which is what we don't want in our grows. And yes, it could possibly kill some aerobic beneficial bacterium, depending on the dosage. But, for the most part H2o2 will actually feed the good bacterium in our soil and root zones. The free radical oxygen molecule produced by H2o2 is food for aerobic bacteria.

I use 1oz per gal (30ml per gal) with each and every feed all the way until flush.
If I don't have some bubbled tap ready for the flush, I will add 30ml H2o2 to the water right out of the tap, which immediately drives off the chlorinates and makes the water safe to use, as if it was bubbled and aged.

Not only does the water become readied by using H2o2, it also has much, much more dissolved oxygen, which is candy for the root system.

The benefits of H2o2 can be seen almost immediately after you start using it, and the cons are only in stories. Try to find a grow that was ruined by H2o2 at the proper dosage...or maybe one that has had the beneficial bacterium killed by H2o2 (How would they know this...???)

No, the warnings you hear are unfounded. And the cornucopia of dosage amounts people tout is staggering. All I can tell you is that I use 1oz per gal all the time, and have fed it at 4oz per gal with no problems.

Also, use 4oz per gal solution to soak your seeds and paper towels and get better pop rates. Almost a guarantee.

First thing a person wants to do is figure out what concentration h2o2 he has.
