BUD Wash water to Hydrogen Peroxide ratio question

[PlumberSoCal2]

This is the best thread I've read in a bit here. I grow in a lighted greenhouse and flower outdoors. I use neem oil, Bt and Jack's Deadbug and wash my plants morning of chop with the hose. It helps make cleaner buds. How much crap it removes is up for debate. I can't see bucket washing with many of my plants as they are too large, it would take me the better part of a day per plant

I am planing on producing as much hemp as possible for sale this coming year and I'll be flipping plants much quicker so the bucket wash may be just what the doctor ordered. Excellent post

So surfing around bud wash teks i see different ratio of water to hydrogen peroxide used and was wondering if that makes a big difference if yoru main purpose is to kill any mold spores along with washing. i see one cup peroxide to 5 gallon bucket, in another tek i see 1 part peroxiide to 3 parts water and in another 1 part peroxide to 4 parts water.... If anyone can shed some light on this i would really appreciate...

i saw 1 part peroxide to 4-5 parts water...and 0.05% peroxide. One said .03% peroxide, I know. This to kill spores from bud rot, otherwise baking soda and lemon juice in water works to clean, just not sanitize.

I had the same question when I started bud washing. Recommendations on the web are all over the place. To keep it simple i use 1 cup for all ingredients and am happy with the results. 1 bucket with 1 cup h2o2, 1 bucket with 1 cup each lemon juice and baking soda, and 2 rinse buckets. Works well and easy to remember.

What kind of water are you using?

I don't believe 3% H2O2 is a sporicidal.

Especially mixed with 20L water it becomes les than 0.1% you need around 3% to break the cells
Minimums by science perspective

Many mold species are inactivated (spores ruptured) around 3–6%, depending on contact time.

<1% solutions typically do not kill spores, they only disinfect bacteria/viruses.

Regular well water. I'm lucky to have good water. 7.4 ph and .35 ec.
