hydroponics and hydrogen peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a water molecule with an extra oxygen atom attached (2H2O + O2 = 2H2O2). This extra oxygen atom is very easy to get rid of the water molecule and enthusiasm combined with any substance that has the proper space for it. For example, attack the organic globules.
Any chemist shop will sell some 35% concentrated hydrogen peroxide, which can be diluted with water to give a 3% solution for human use. This diluted solution is good for treating minor cuts and scratches, etc. Also used to soften ear wax. It works by oxidation chemical elements that are presented as having a space for the oxygen atom.
H2O2 when in contact with these impurities A "" that will give a reaction that causes it to fizz. This effervescence is that the oxygen atoms emerging from its link with the molecules of water and bubbles from the solution. As gardeners, we can use this desire to break their link to help keep our pest-free plants every day.
In the same way that cells old organic blood are attacked and consumed by the action of peroxide fizz, so that bacteria and small insects being destroyed by a solution Up to 5% H2O2. In this force that is safe for human skin, but lethal to most errors.
Mix the following for a week spray Prevention:
Add to 1 liter of water:
30ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide
20 ml of alcohol (old style washing mouth works well)
2 ml of wetting agent (detergent will do)
Use this mixture as a foliar spray to keep plants healthy and free of errors.
Another advantage of the break down peroxide which liberates free oxygen is in the area. So if you could add something to your tank of nutrients, oxygen Dissolved being released around the root system not only kills any bad bacteria and root material, but also oxygenates the roots with the excess oxygen produced.
Plants can cope with a 5% solution of H2O2 and because the mixture is reduced to water in a short space of time, the dilutions are not as critical. For this reason, it makes a disinfectant ideal for pots, greenhouses and grow rooms.
Can be used in 10% of these jobs, but make sure that only used if the area is open plan. A really big advantage is that you do not have to be clarified in the garbage after use, because water alone will alone.

Hydrofarm Super Oxy H2O2 1 - Quart
Hydrogen Peroxide is used through irrigation and is composed of water and oxygen which stimulates nutrient consumption. A higher oxygen level in the nutrient solution will improve the plants ability to take up the available nutrients from any medium. Proper use will enhance thicker stems, larger leaves and shorter spacing on stems. Can also be used as a cleaning agent in irrigation systems and/or ... |
