- The Many Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide in the Garden
Professor DeBacco
What is Hydrogen Peroxide?
Simple molecule H2O2
Advantages of H2O2
Can kill both fungi and bacteria and algae
Copper also fits into this category but has many other issues
Ex. Interactions, phytotoxicity, residual, environmental contaminate
No residue left behind
Disadvantages of H2O2
Short residual time
Can require frequent applications
Contact kill only

Four Uses
Improved Seed Germination
Tool Sterilizer
Foliar Application
Soil Treatment
1. Improved Seed Germination
Research Article
Sorokin, A., Yadav, N. S., Gaudet, D., & Kovalchuk, I. (2021). Development and Standardization of Rapid and Efficient Seed Germination Protocol for Cannabis sativa. Bio-protocol, 11(1), e3875.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
Research Findings
Seed sterilization, germination, and seedlings development were carried out in an H2O2 solution of different concentrations
1% H2O2 solution showed the fastest and the most efficient germination.
High germination efficiency for very old cannabis seeds with lower viability was shown
2. Tool Sterilizer
Frequently cleaning tools can help prevent the grower being a vector for disease spread from one plant to another.
Tool Sterilizer Solution Make Fresh Daily
Once diluted the solution should be used for the day (or less).
If exposed to direct sunlight this will speed up the degradation process as well.
It will always look like clear water so be sure to put it in a special and labeled container.
At the end of the day a final submersion in the solution followed by a rise can help reduce the chance of corrosion of the equipment.
3. Foliar Application
This is one of the few bactericides that exist in general.
It also works on fungus as well
Foliar Application: Leaf and Soil Based Pathogens Controlled…
ZeroTol 2.0
Algae
Alternaria
Anthracnose
Aphanomyces
Bacterial spots and rots
Botrytis (grey mold)
Downy mildew
Erwinia
Foliar Application with No Residue
This reduces the chance of burring the plant
Be sure to follow the recommended concentration as with high concentrations there can be peroxide burn of the plant material.
Essentially, the products breaks down to water and oxygen gas.
Foliar Application Complete Coverage is Key
With this (and any other contact only product) good plant coverage is very important as this has a direct impact on the effectiveness of the product.
4. Soil Treatment
This is where hydrogen peroxide is showing greater interest and some initial results are the reason for its continued use.
Some areas have strict regulations on products for controlling soil based diseases.
This is for good reason as these can have long residuals and negatively impact non-target environments.
Soil Treatment
Hydrogen peroxide can control a wide range of soil based diseases with low residual so it will not have long term negative impacts on the environment.
It is much easier and cost effective compared to steam sterilization.
While this may be better it is not easy to do and is costly in both labor and equipment.
Soil Treatment Site Preparations
Clear crop residue
Some can be on the surface and/or partially incorporated into the soil, but a lot of plant residue will reduce soil penetration
The soil surface should be quick/rough tilled to allow for greater percolation into the soil profile.
Soil should have some moisture
Post Soil Treatment
Adding back in beneficial microbes
Manufacture says these can be added only 2-hours after the peroxide application.
This is when the foaming you may see on the soil surface during application has gone away.
Soil Treatment Micro Replenish TerraGrow
Following manufacture recommendations, TerraGrow was added to the same area that was treated with the TerraClean product 48-hours prior.
So, be sure to get the entire growing area when performing this treatment.
While it will not be 100% effective the delayed onset and mitigation of most pressure sure makes it more effective than many of the harsher chemical options that exist.
Cover crops are still an important component
For many soil based diseases you want reduce the chance of overwatering and excessive nitrogen fertilizers.

Why have you not posted anything…you are amazing..
Busy with classes and students, but more videos are planned... good things come to those who wait;-) Thanks for your patience.
One of very few sources of true and useful information .Glad to have found this channel
Thanks and welcome, please share the channel with others!
Thank you for the help with germination!
Glad it helped!
Such a smart man. Thank you for all the info Sir.
Thanks for watching!
Thanx again professor!
You are welcome!
I watch every video I can find to increase my cannabis knowledge, thanks Professor.
This channel should keep you busy and well educated.
Your a stud Matt! Thanks for sharing all your info to us giant pumpkin growers!
You are welcome, glad to help!
Thanks Professor !
Glad to know you liked it!
Wow, another great Video 😮 thanks so much for sharing ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
I appreciate your content
I appreciate your comment.
I will be a better gardener this year forward because I have watched many of your videos. Easier to implement a practice once we understand the 'why'. Thank you, Professor. 🌻
Best of luck with a successful harvest.
Your amazing!
Thank you!
thank you :)
Glad you found this helpful!
I lv using hydrogen peroxide, thanks for sharing ;)
You are welcome!
I had a fungus gnat issue a few months ago and used peroxide at a dilution rate of 1:4 as a soil drench along with increasing airflow and using hanging fly traps and ground traps. I sprayed the solution once a week and had complete success after a month. After a couple rounds of compost tea/compost top dressing my girls are healthy and going into flower tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing your success story.
loveur vidz my dude
Thank you, great to hear!
Youve saved me too many times already thank you aha
No problem 👍
A Great Video with Great Information Thank You. I had a problem with my last grow with a fungus attacking my plant I had to throw out one plant. Now I know I can use Hydrogen Peroxide to combat the problem if it happens again.
Key is to catch the problem early.
@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank You🙂
Professor DeBacco, if I want to ask you specific questions about growing, do you think youtube comments are my best bet or should I send an email? Thank you so much for all the free knowledge.
Either works for me;-)
That's a huge ass pumpkin you've grown there!😳😂, great video thanks, I've been using these methods for years with indoor plants as I live in a 3rd story apartment!😊✌️
Thanks, and best of luck with continued success.
So this is my second watch (for retention) and I still can't get over the size of the guts of that pumpkin.
They are impressive.
would you ever consider making a video about GA3 or KN03 for plant growth control / seed germination?
Lol, used to buy kno3 from drugstore as a kid to make homemade gunpowder
This is a better method for seed germination... ruclips.net/video/KPzfZ_xFXtE/видео.html
@@DeBaccoUniversity ah ok, ty, starting seed prep for this upcoming season now, gonna try the 1% h202 method out!!
hello professor debacco.
can you do a presentation abt how to get to a auto flower starting w/ a fotoperiodic female
Comes down to breeding and auto male plant.
Hello Sir! Could you touch briefly on the use of hydrogen peroxide in aeroponic systems and hydroponic systems? Namely, what should the ideal percentage of hydrogen peroxide be? I’m cloning cuttings in a small aeroponic system.
Peroxide is not needed for clones, but 1% will help with seed germination... ruclips.net/video/KPzfZ_xFXtE/видео.html
Any videos on hlv, rnes3 application? And any other management
Working on one for the viroid as some new data has recently been published.
We usually spray diluted zerotol on our groblocks AFTER we get pm. Any benefits to preemptively spray before signs of pm to stop it in its tracks?
Edit: Also, what’s one thing that you would say commercial grows can improve on the most? I understand their all different in many ways, but do you have a general peeve in a commercial space?
Document when the PM comes in and be preventative. Commercial growers can improve their operation by educating their staff.
I was told a while back that the mad farmer oxygenator actually increased nodular growth in cannabis plants meaning you would have more branches growing on the main stem and they be closer together. I feel like I seen evidence in this with one of my clients for really in some of the others. I'd love to hear your take on this.
The product you mention is basically concentrated hydrogen peroxide and this should not increase nodular growth.
need more info on male plants my friend. life cycle? how to harvest? how to cure pollen?
Life cycle is basically the same as a female. For harvesting the pollen capturing it when the flower opens is best and transferring via a small paint brush can be effective. Not sure how to "cure" pollen, it is mature or not, but will have a life span.
What concentration should i use as a soil drench for root rot in potted plants ?
Read the label on the product as the dilution rate will depend in part on the concentration of original product. Typically it will be under a 1% solution.
I have a question, what do you think about adding soluble Vit D to water ? i would imagine it adds oxygen and i noticed yesterday that it lowers Ph .
This is an important vitamin for humans, not aware of plant benefits.
Could you carry the 1 part H2o2 to 2part H2o to soak rapid start cubes to plant seeds direct without pre soak?
Should help, but the H2O2 would likely break down faster.
What about copper wire around the stem base? Will it prevent fungi and bacteria going up the stem?
No since many travel internally and through the air.
Professor may I ask, how long you should I soak the seeds for in the 1% solution for? Also, do you recommend going from the soak to any sort of cotton pad or straight to the soil?
2-4 hours
hello professor, what do you do with big leftovers of plants and small after curing?
Composts/discard.
When you add it to water you are basically making rain.
Not exactly....
So what % should be used in Foliar spray? Did I miss some thing?
Typically a 1% solution is a good starting point.
hallo everyone, if i may ask a related question. am i able to use both h202 and a wetting agent together as a foliar?
This would not help since peroxide breaks down so fast, key is good coverage via the application.
So here my infos pls correct me if im wrong. I can use H2O2 unstable food grade with 3% in Vegi and Flower to help me on my Hydroponic system drip and NFT. I mix 1ml up to max 3ml per Liter to help my Plants and kill the bad things. I can clean my system with it after im done!? If i do this i can not do anything wrong??????? There are so many infos out thete with dosis and % Im scared a bit to use it wanna ask you because i trust you 100% Can you help me im not dump but i fear to mess somerhing up thx
That sounds correct it is a great way to clean the system between runs.
Where did you go? 4 months of no posting? What happened?
Busy with classes and students, but more videos are planned... good things come to those who wait;-) Thanks for your patience.
From my experience it works on fungus nets Have you noticed if it really does
It can help, but not the best go to product.
Hi Professor, Could you tell us the correct dilution for foliar spraying with H2O2? Since I have only 3 plants I would like to use the standard 3% H2O2 and dilute it down to the correct concentration. Thanks
Dude, did you not watch the video? Lmao.
@@mopar426power Yes I did watch the vid. Very closely, in fact. Around the 7:00 minute mark he goes into great detail about the proper dilution for using H2O2 for seed soaking. IE: 2 parts water with 1 part of 3% H2O2 yields a 1% H2O2 solution. Between the 11:30 mark and 15:00 mark of the vid is where he is talking about using it as a foliar spray. The only guidance in that foliar spraying section of the vid was "Be sure to follow the recommended concentration" on the label. Since I would like to use my 99 cent bottle of H2O2 from the grocery store there obviously won't be any foliar spray recommended concentrations. Using the same 1% seed soaking concentration as a foliar spray may or may NOT be correct.
So what's with the condescending tone of your message? No need for that. I asked a legit question.
@@gamblr5422 you’re right, and the transcript in the description confirms it.
I would like to know also, as I have used it to spray a white powdery mold infection but it was necessary to spray every day to keep control. Maybe my concentration was too low.
@@pat8988 Do you remember what concentration you used?
@@gamblr5422 I used a 1% concentration.
Stock solution is 3% therefore is one part h2o2 and 32.3 parts water (3:97). Then add 2 parts water to the 3%stock solution to get 1% final diluted solution (1:99). Min (7:24). ??
In short... yes.
I tried the 1% soaked for a couple days the seeds sprout then turn white and die or stunt, now I just read in the comments only supposed to soak few hours:(
Watching the entire video and all the information is important.
so what is with some fertilisers saying to NOT use peroxide? or is that more specific to mixing it into your feed?
It kills beneficial organisms in the soil from what I’ve heard.
Peroxide will kill microbial life, so if the fertilizer is meant to be used as part of a living soil, peroxide would render it useless. Im sure others might just be a lot of chemicals or metals in them that would react negatively to the peroxide also.
Peroxide can kill beneficial organisms and can react with certain chemicals.
can any of you recommend something for mealybug eradication?
I have tried adult lady bugs and lady bug eggs which seemed to do nothing, unfortunately...but I did have a huge amount of lady bugs hanging around my sunflowers after that 😔 OUTSIDE my greenhouse lol
I have Omite 300 and Zero Tolerance but I think the problem is it can't penetrate into the adults webbing.
people say to use IPA around 60% first to help dissolve some of its webbing, but that poses problems with the substrate. what if I cover the substrate surface for the IPA treatment?
or is there something better?
@@r3ck17rick7 I live in Phx AZ, too hot and dry here, I haven't had to deal with anything but gnats, so idk any proven methods. But my neem oil bottle mentions mealybugs, so I'd try the classic neem oil & dish soap.
using distilled water is better than using tap water for this 1% dilution?
Distilled water is preferred since this is consistent, tap water varies from region to region.
@@DeBaccoUniversity What about the Clitoris?
@@iHustle33 🤭
No dilution rates?
Read the label on the product you use.
So here my infos pls correct me if im wrong.
I can use H2O2 unstable food grade with 3% in Vegi and Flower to help me on my Hydroponic system drip and NFT.
I mix 1ml up to max 3ml per Liter to help my Plants and kill the bad things.
I can clean my system with it after im done!?
If i do this i can not do anything wrong???????
There are so many infos out thete with dosis and %
Im scared a bit to use it wanna ask you because i trust you 100%
Can you help me im not dump but i fear to mess somerhing up thx
I use it to kill fungus gnats and larvae, works great.
Thanks for sharing, another benefit!
HI
Welcome.
You ever add copper to your dirt??
Yes, in the form of copper sulfate.
@@DeBaccoUniversitythank you for the reply. I've been sticking copper wire in my pots. Think it helps?
Probably not.
@@DeBaccoUniversity seems to stimulate stunted plants.
OK to clean with 10% bleach for 60 seconds? From NL Seed 1984-2023 via TUMI GENOMICS. Aloha Greg, thanks for reaching out. We are about to publish a research study we are doing regarding hlvd in seed transmission. We will post it here in the next couple of weeks. Regarding your question, preliminary data suggests that it can be transmitted by pollen.
We have found hlvd in Hawaii, although we do not have the info down to which island.
For seeds this can also be effective but it will not likely help with germination.
