"Supposedly with the right beneficial bacteria or even a completely sterile system with the right amount of O2 can pull it off and the plants will be healthier for it. The temps are actually best, not for root root I agree, around 74."

you think that much air from a hot pump is gonna do you any good without a chiller???? You arent making sense.

I will give you granted adding a reservoir slows the change when you are trying to put more air in it for thermal mass but you dont wanna forget about your res stones too. unless you want to breed in there and drip it to your buckets.

I'm praying my flow rate is high enough through my chiller now that I added a reservoir to combat my 12 site air pump. more water, new problem.

I dont know anyone in the uc world that runs water temps at 74.there chart is never below 72 whatsoever.even in early growth anything over 70 I'll get brown algae with bennies.i also use ro.

I feed h202 once a week at 35% 3ml per gallon. It should last 72 hours per treatment. Some say 24 hours but it can last up 72. This is per the manufactures recommendation

H202 is the worst crap to use in dwc on a regular basis.there is no way to know how much has evaporated and how much to put in unless u have a h202 detector lol.i would never encourage anyone to get in the habit of using hydrogen peroxide in dwc.

I knew it! lol...
saying you are fine because you have to take unnecessary measures to keep it at bay doesnt mean you are doing it fine and the acceptable ideal way bro. thats an uphill battle.

And why are you telling us manufacturer recommendations? if we want to read the side of a bottle we can. we come here with actual knowledge and experience and share it to help. I've used it before and can tell you how i saved some plants from utter death, but completely destroyed all roots it had that were infected. so by using it it kills a shit ton of your root zone off, especially if you are running it at 74 degrees with no bennies.

Not trying to be a dick again?
Any experienced dwc grower is going to try and avoid h202 man.its a bandaid reccomended on these forums for why I have no idea.use it to clean out a system after a grow maybe but not as part of a program.hell naw lol

So my first dwc I had a limp dick air pump at first and ran organics like a retard... ended up using h202 and this is what was left of my root zone.... look at how big the plants are ...... lol I ended upp getting at least an oz from each one but thats the time you bring out the h2O2

Going through all.that trouble using ro water than turn around and add in a bottle of organic soup to get the nasties churning,and add in h202 to kill what little bit organic mix is there good and bad,but you never really kill the bad cause it's like cancer and grows on everything.this sound about right shawn?


Sterile res,bennies and a good 2 part hydro with some bloom boosters and calmag will get shit right
