What do you want to use it for ?

hydroponics for my reservoir
how much per gallon is good to start with

[9fingerleafs]

But for what? You are planing to put some in your reservoir but with what purpose?

[jam]

you dont know what that is used for in hydroponics really ?

[9fingerleafs]

For real I don't even use hydroponics. i know its used for various cleaning and antibacterial purposes. I also know it may sound "logic" to add it to provide "oxigen" but I'm pretty sure you and everybody knows it's not beneficial at all. So I really wonder what are you planing on using it for

I'm following the same train of thought as 9fingerleafs, what do you hope to achieve by adding it to your res?

I am with Oz and 9. I guess all three of us need to be enlighten.

That might be OK for cleaning a cloner, but not in a hydroponics tank.

But the article has a recommended useage amount? And it says not to just use the reg drug store type. Wouldnt cooling the water back down with say an ice bottle a day be easier? And then increase oxygen in a more natrual way?

[9fingerleafs]

Well yes. As they clearly says "don't use 3% peroxide" that's what we all though you where talking about. It is true some brands sell "special" peroxide but I wouldn't believe their claims. maybe someone has used it and knows more about it but it is not "essential" in my opinion

[jam]

yea i will probably use some ice bottles thats a good idea. i have 6% hydrogen peroxide so i was wondering if to use the same amount as what they specified for 35%

[BuddMarsh]

If you use air stones and Hydroguard, you will not need to use hydrogen peroxide. My tank is always in the mid 70s and I have never had any problems with root rot.

[jam]

yea i'll get an air pump aswell thanks for that info lol .

jam I didn't read the article, but you do know that H2O2 is only viable for around 24 hours, right? If you get a bad case of root rot that is beyond Hydroguard's ability to wipe out, use Grapefruit Seed Extract.

Use hydrogaurd it's way better!!!!! The hydrogen peroixe kills all bacertia and the oxygenation only last 24hours do not use hp and hydrogaurd at the same til u will reek havick on ur roots. The only time to use hp is either mold/mildew on leaves or root rot or for a clone as the oxygen helps them. For a plant that's already growing dnt use hp unless u have the above problems. USE HYDROGAURD for hydro ponics it's what it's made for.

[9fingerleafs]

I don't use hydroguard but I do use botanicare grow bloom and calmag and they are quality products easy to use

[tyler_ hobbyist]

U need good baceria to have a successful grow and hp kills all bacteria
