Default Hydrogen peroxide

Hi all,

Although we have had great success via other methods, we have found that nothing has ever germinated in
hydrogen proxide flasks, and we do not see the great benefit herein. Don't wish to be confrontational;
however, we are just stating it as it is.

So, our results are nil in every regards in referrence to hydrogen proxide. (This info. is released to
the public via our personal experiments). Happy growing!

Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids espouses its use straight from the bottle as a fungicide and as an
oxygenator for the medium.

As the peroxide will decompose almost instantly upon contact with most organic compounds, it is
unlikely that it would do any damage, and cannot produce free oxygen for very long.

anyone know if this is true, and if so should I dilute it , to me it seems i
could burn the young growths or leaves?....

of some interest very dilute phosphoric acid is used as a stabilizer in
hydrogen peroxide--might be very good for your plants.
