hydrogen peroxide as fertilizer?

[opal]

This could prove to be a good solution for me because I have a hard time finding clay pebbles big enough to leave air pockets between them. Lately vast majority of the bags I buy come with smallest pieces available and they fit into the pot almost like a loose dirt. No real air pockets there. And with mold problems I am having lately I just might give it a try as soon as I find more about spanish water and buy peroxide...but not as fertilizer, just as air increasing thing between roots (mine need it obviously)

If your LECA holds too much water in the spaces between the particles, a periodic drench with hydrogen peroxide will be of little value.

Interesting thread.

Alot of hydro guy are moving away from H2O2 and going with Myco. and beneficial bacteria. Alot of hydro and organic fertilizer for that matter have beneficials in them and if you use H2O2 you kill all benefits of that fertilizer. Aerate via 1000 hole water breaker, air stone, water fall, or CO2 are some very good ways to add O2 into the water. If you need more air at the root then use "air" pots, baskets or mounts

One problem that I see with have such a clean media base is that you are at a much higher risk of bacteria infections. That was the case for me with using Physan.

Beneficial bacterias are the way to go....

I have been smashing my hydroton so it will hole more water for masd. and such.

I think you'll find that after some use at if you don't stay up with the program that you'll have the same problem. You may get results up front.

I know a man who uses it regularly ever since his daughter was diagnosed with cancer, went to another country to live her last couple of months, was injected with hydrogen peroxide when she found out that it was a treatment there, and last I heard is still alive years later. I use it diluted to clean roots that have rot.
