Correct. Ideally you get the food grade H2O2 at 30% and dilute but if you cant find/afford it you can use the 3% straight or dilute slightly to make it go a little fartherI don't think your suppose to dilute 3% peroxide alot. People use 30+% peroxide and dilute it down to 2-3% so you could probably use it 50/50 peroxide/water. I've never used it before so I'm not positive about this, but thats just my opinion so hopefully someone with exp. using hydrogen peroxide will be able to verify if I'm correct or not, good luck with your plants.
3% HP should be diluted to 30ml/Gallon of water.
I ddn't say that is the strongest dilution to use. Most articles I have read state 3ml/gallon of 30% HP. If you do the math...I get 30ml/gallon of 3% HP. No doubt it can be used at stronger levels.Bro, if you dilute 3% peroxide at 30 ml per gallon, your gonna end up with a solution thats about 7/100th of 1% hydrogen peroxide. I have never heard of anyone diluting peroxide to such a weak solution. I'm not saying your wrong, but if you don't mind I would like for you to explain how you came to that number. I know foliar's are suppose to be weaker then most root drench solutions, but it just seems like such an insignificant amount that it won't have any effect.

Not to worry you but you can spray whatever percent you want and it wont kill ALL the disease. Fungal infections are spread by VERY tiny spores that become easily airborne. Unless you are willing to spray inside your ventilation systems, which is near impossible you will still have spores floating around waiting for the right environment to start all over again. The spray ideas are good to limp you through untill harvest but the real fix is to moniter and/or fix the cause which is normally an environment issue. Even if your humidity and ventilation is in check these tiny spores can be brought in on clothing or by invading pests. Once its in your room one of the only ways to knock it completely out is by burning sulpher. The sulpher fumes are one of the few solutions that will get into evry nook and cranny of the room including your ventilation systems that are now infected with spores. I wouldnt do this with a crop in the room but if you can get to the harvest with the sprays, in-between crops sulpher the shit out of the room with ALL your tools inside of it. I have heard of people sterilizing rooms with heavy doses of ozone but ozone itself is dangerous and unpredictable. At least with the acid gas you know the exact risks. Once you have sterilized the room many growers use some form of UV sterilizing on their air systems to prevent it from happening again. Also be sure to have filters on ALL incoming air if you run a vented room. A sealed room is somewhat less an issue but it can still come in on clothing or tools. Fungus is a bitch no matter how you look at it so its best to prevent it from the get go. Some will even re-build entire rooms because of persistant infections.
^^^^^damn I should have read more. Sorry about that. Outdoors is a whole other animal. Pretty much no options but to spray. Being outdoors I agree with Chobble 100% that a compost tea is the way to go. Sure the peroxide is naturally derived but its not the way nature works. Bad fungi should be kept in check with good fungi. Bad bacteria should be killed with good bacteria. Out doors will never be sterile and thats what the peroxide is trying to do. A good compost tea will not give overnight results but its going to do much better in the long run for your plant. Ive seen negative results in end product from the peroxide. It tends to overdry everything it touches. You lose most if not all smell and flovor also when used consistantly. You get a flower thats unnaturally clean if that makes sense. Im sure evryone has seen the jorge cervantes video of him doing it and sure it kills the fungi but the flowers will taste like ass. Unless the flowers will be used for cooking, extracting or something like that I would stay away from the peroxide.
What kind of compost tea would you "StonerB"? and Chobble use? And anyone else for that matter. That sounds good, a healthy dose of compost tea. however, I'm not familiar with teas. where could I purchase some premaid compost tea? Or should I make it and how? Thanks a million;)
