A good temperate range is 62F to 65F; anything above 70F will eventually cause a problem. It is also a good idea to remove any witty plants from the system and put them on a separate reservoir so they don't infect plants that are still healthy.
Summary The key to big productive plants is a big healthy root system and Hydrogen Peroxide is a great way to keep your roots healthy. It is a must to ensure the biggest best crops possible and to increase the chances of your plants thriving to harvest.
Peroxide users will rarely lose plants or crops to root disease and will harvest larger and more consistent crops. You can use this guideline with any quantity you need to mix.
It is glass. Measure it out. Use a permanent marker to make a mark on the outside of the bottle, where the level of the gallon of liquid fills the bottle up to. Then add enough water to fill up the bottle, up to the line. But what kind of water? That will depend on what you are planning to use the peroxide for.
For most purposes, tap water will work. Here is the exception: If you plan to use the peroxide as an oxygen supplement — to be ingested by anyone including animals — then you should consider using distilled water, or filtered water, if at all possible.
Any metals in water will combine with hydrogen peroxide. But it does make some sense: peroxide is an oxidant. Oxidizing metal creates rust.
The reason is the same: iron is a metal. If you plan to ingest peroxide, you can consider this. Here are charts to tell you how much! As you may notice, the amount of peroxide in the chart for sick and fungusy plants is twice as much as in the first chart. I have heard of people using stronger solutions, but more is NOT always better.
So be careful, and when in doubt, stay safe. You can always apply more another day. If you decide to use a bit more, please make it only a bit more, don't get carried away. Gardening with hydrogen peroxide is great, but too much can harm your plants. Great info Woodsman. I prefer you to use hydrogen peroxide, the benefits of healthier root systems, increased nutrient uptake, thicker stems, and bigger leaves. By using hydrogen peroxide add oxygen to your water and cleans the water of pathogens.
Click to expand Suppose it should be diluted..? Reading up on H2O2, I decided to give it a try. Stopped by local beauty supply shop to see what they had. Don't think so! Went to my grow shop and asked some new kid who said they didn't have it. As I look down standing at the counter I see this. Damn millenials. No, I meant the kid at the store. I've got a gray beard now so I can say shit like that.
Plants grew 2 inches in a day.. Ran this solution through my system for 30 minutes. No worries! Your email will be used ONLY to send you newsletters.

For some links, I receive ad commissions, at no cost to you. As an example of the variations, I just looked at a few pages about peroxide in gardening. Lots of gardening and hydroponics websites have a link to this page in order to provide the dilution charts, above, for gardening. Which is great -- yet I'm reluctant to have this become the authoritative source on how much to use!
I honestly doubt that there is such a thing as a single answer. There could an accepted answer, or a range that is safe, but I doubt that there is a single best answer. You may wonder how often you should use peroxide on your plants. I don't have an answer to that. If you are treating a fungus or mold or an ill plant, you would want to use it until the problem clears up or the plant looks healthy again.
But you need not use it for every watering! For general purpose use gardening, I have not really seen much in the way of recommendations. I personally use it only once in a while. I've seen really good effects using peroxide to water young plants and with soaking seeds, giving the seeds or plants an early boost in growth.

The oxygen atoms do this by destroying the outer cell membrane of fungal pathogens, or the cell wall of certain kinds of algae. Hydrogen peroxide is known to be one of the safest and most environmentally friendly ways to control bacteria, viruses, and fungi in a DWC hydroponic system.
Hydrogen peroxide is also much safer than antibiotic and anti-fungal treatments that can be harmful to plants and humans. Catalase is known to improve the health of a plant by increasing nutrient uptake by enhancing the permeability of the roots.
When hydrogen peroxide degrades in an aqueous solution it will release oxygen atoms into the water. If these oxygen atoms combine they can form into O2 molecules that will help oxygenate a DWC nutrient reservoir. In some cases, the root mass in a DWC system can prevent oxygen from reaching all the roots due to dead-spots that can reduce water circulation. If you ever encounter this problem you can add hydrogen peroxide to the DWC reservoir to help improve the dissolved oxygen content of the nutrient solution.
Peroxide has been found in testing to be highly effective at removing chlorine from municipal water.
