Hydrogen Peroxide in Water

[Des]

Out of the 800 seedlings I brought back with me from Australia in November 2006 i have not lost a single seedling . I imported a further 700 in Nov 2007 and apart from a worm eating two of them they are doing well. I put this down to my program. My brother lives in Melbourn and uses a similar program. with the same results He has not lost a seedling in 3 years. 35 % H2O2 is available in Oz It is used in the food industry for washing down . I am hoping to put pen to paper soon and write a readable version of my program for hobbyists who would like to give it a try.

Here's my two cents on 35% H2O2. Its sold in hydroponic stores as an oxygenation agent for reservoirs, also used to clean grow area,and will help with root rot. Can also be used as insecticide.
If I was silly enough to try to clean a cut with this I'd get chemical burns. The stuff a hairdresser uses to Bleach your hair is only 17%. It reacts with proteins and will blind you if you get it in your eyes, if you get it on your skin, it burns and turns your skin white. when you buy it get it in dark bottles, avoid clear ones, since light breaks it down too.
You might want to look into SM90 by Nutrilife, its really good for root rot problems, couple different type of fungus if I remember rightly, and will make plants taste bad to spider mites. Unfortunately it is a systemic product.

At one point of my career, I worked with 50% material as an additive to break down a polymer in an inorganic slurry. If splashed on the skin, it would get immediately bleached, but it is not a chemical burn. In a few days, the skin would return from looking like a pure white mole to normal.

In another part of my career, I was "the ISO guy" teaching quality management systems to our manufacturing plants around the country. One of those plants was a hydrogen peroxide plant in Memphis. The idiots in the lab used to have contests to see who could hold the concentrated stuff in their mouths the longest.

They had the whitest smiles you've ever seen, and none ever had a tooth or gum problem - ever!

My other half used some on an ingrown toenail, got a really good head foam like a beer, hurt even worse, went to clinic and told he had chemical burns. Do not use on an open wound.

Maybe stings would of been a better choice of words instead of burns, skin returns to normal after few hours with 35%.

The lab guys may have invented or at least given someone the ideas for the tooth whitening products available now.

Reckon if i dip my toothbrush in 6% before i brush i'll have whiter than white teeth? The stuff i have is listed for use as a mouthwash. Euchhh..

I added a little to my water and also give the seedlings a spray every now and again with the 6%. Which i now used half of, and added more water to, so now it's 3%. They didn't seem to mind it, although it REALLY stinks like vinegar when it reacts. It's really overpowering. I know a guy who used to DRINK the stuff every day for a year. He ended up with a bunch of ulcers but is more or less sane.

Those guys who used 35% in their mouths must be crazy , imagine destroying your taste buds and never being able to taste a beer again !!
