Hello My Friends ! Long time no see .  Haven't been involved much since my shoulder surgery , and ready to get the groove going .
Well anyway , I was curious , do any of you peeps mix up some hydro / peroxide with a gal. of water and water your bigger plants , as to add oxygen to the roots ?

Hey Frank, hope your shoulder is doing well!  I use h2o2 in a fair amount of applications - seeds, roots, and foliage - but not so much for regular watering.  I will use it if I think roots have been waterlogged and may be subject to rot/fungus. As to concentrations, I feel very comfortable exposing roots to a 0.75% solution (1:3 water to 3% h2o2), but if I were simply trying to hyper-oxygenate I would probably aim around a 0.15% - 0.30% solution, approximately a 1:10 - 1:20 ratio.  These concentrations have been suggested as the optimal range in a study addressing potential hypoxia in older seeds and provide more oxygen than oxygenated h2o, so I'd expect those concentrations to be sufficient for the purpose.
 
Have come across a few different reads where people are using peroxide with every watering to held add O2 into the soil and roots. I assume it would be a small amount  or it would likely kill any of the goodies in the soil as well one would think eh.
 
I though aboot having a couple test plants when I got my stuff started this year, but I am all over the place with this grow and can barely remember what I was going to do yesterday.
