Welcome Autobomb, it sounds like you've got a well-thought out plan and the setup to implement it. You should get some great results. The only thing I can think to add is that autos can be quite sensitive to nutes, so you might want to go easy compared to your regular photo feeding schedule. Their lifespan is so short that it's harder to recover from a nute burn. Also, I've found that most of my autos have been very hungry for cal/mag, and a good feeding around week 3 helps keep them on track. Good luck & I'm looking forward to seeing your grow!

SUre, Hydrogen Peroxide or H2O2 if you get the 30%+ stuff, is basically adding pure oxygen to the root zone. When H2O2 is added to water, the extra "O" becomes a free radical and attaches to organic matter OR will be absorbed by the roots. While this has pro's and con's, the best way to use it is to read up on it. I have found through experience that it is perfect for a veg rez... i.e. I would go multiple weeks without changing out my water, just topping off to keep the PPM's where they need to be etc. etc... but there will be little to no gunk built up that is common with stale rez's. You will also see a difference in the bright white color of the roots. I will use a few drops of food-grade H2O2 every day in my rez. I got a bottle at my local shop for like 10-15 bucks and it lasts a long time...

One piece of advice, wear gloves lol. It will burn/bleach your skin if you spill it on you... and this will go away after like an hour, but the first time it happens it will scare the shit out of you haha. The thing to remember here is that only the purest H2O2 is useful... the crap they sell for putting on wounds and cuts, has a bunch of other stuff in it. You want 30% +. The stuff at KMart in the brown bottle is 3-5%.

H2O2 is essentially water, with an additional O attached. It is unstable though and will break off the O at the first oppurtunity it gets, whether that be algae or whatever is in your tank.

Hope that helps.

Well I am also learning this site, i meant to reply with quote (regarding peroxide) and did not, so next time I know haha.

Thanks for the support and I will surely be keeping everyone up to speed once it is underway. I am still doing some construction and E-baying for now. Once it is time, you all will be the first to know.

Actually no. There isn't other stuff in there, just very diluted. I've used the cheap stuff every week now for about 4 years. 2 bottles a week gets poured into my rez. easy-peasy

That's not to say there isn't wound cleaning solution out there that is basically hydrogen peroxide mixed with other stuff.

Personally the only time I would use the 30% stuff is if my system got infected with some nasty stuff like root aphids

I'm sure it is a preference thing. I enjoy using the concentrated stuff, a 10 dollar bottle lasted me months. I'm glad to see someone else who uses it though! works great.
