Yes leave them on also it’s 1/10 ratio so 3 gal is 48 cups so you’ll need 1 10th of that of strait undiluted h2o2 so roughly 4.5 cups per 3 gal of water

That’s if it’s 34-35% h2o2....the 3% you get at the store contains stabilizing agents that are extremely toxic and I mean extremely toxic I highly advise you not use that and if you do you will literally need to buy everyone that they have because you need 3% so that means you will need to buy 3 gallons worth of 3% hydrogen peroxide

Iv done this many times and as long as their matur plants with big root balls you’ll be fine... if they’re younger plants under seven weeks old from seed this recipe will kill them in 24 hours I’ve done it to grows ago I had six juveniles that were four weeks old from seed one that was six weeks old from seed and the rest were seven weeks old from seed the seven week old ones not one issue they were completely fine the six week old some of the leaves will sit on it it look like it was gonna die and then three days it bounce right back with Extreme growth The four week old plants were dead by next morning the grow after the plants were eight weeks old from seed to weeks in the flower not one leafs rebel that they were completely fine with that so as long as they’re older than seven weeks old from seed you should not see any issues just make sure you rinse the fuck out of them I would go so much is taking them out and rinsing the root balls off for a good 5 to 10 minutes each under the Fossett make sure the water is around 65° or the fuck up the routes you’re gonna have to trust me on this I’ve done this many many times I’ve made root rot my bitch.... Also I’ll tell you this if your race is over 72°F you will run into root rot I don’t care how clean your environment is pythium fungus which is what right is is literally floating around in the air right now you’re breathing it in it’s everywhere it doesn’t cause an issue and less you give it an environment to bloom in and it blooms in reservoirs that are over 72°F ideally you want to keep your reservoirs in your buckets 65 to 67°F you’ll never run into any issues as long as you don’t scratch your ass and stick your hand in the bucket
Here's the roots it finally let me download

They look good but that doesn’t mean their not infected what does the root balls smell like?
Like water and nutes, I think i was just over feeding causing lock out..lowered ec down to 11 , ph is stable now overnight at 59.1 so fingers crossed she starts eating again. Thank you for your help , I appreciate you.
Thank you brother, lowered ec to 11 and ph has stayed stable overnight at 59.1 , first time that has happened all week, I think your overfeeding diagnosis was the answer...thank you
I use the same nutrient line, may I suggest you get rid of everything but the GH trio and CaliMagic. Add in the others after you finish and gain more experience. To prevent root rot, when it warmed up for me, I used Pool Shock (Calcium Hypochlorite). Good luck with the rest of the grow.

Yup I saw rk help you out, he's a good guy to listen to. That's why I was suggesting you get rid of all the additives and stick with the base nutrient line while you get comfortable. It's a lot easier not to over feed that way and come to an understanding of what you're doing.

Abit late now, but for beginners, always air on the side of underfeeding, and become diligent at spotting DEFICIENCY then when you’re 100% confident at spotting it and knowing what a plant NEEDS to survive, you can start upping ur numbers to find that sweet spot.
I’ll spoil this now for you ur sweet spot isn’t the highest ec you can possibly use without seeing TOXICITIES. It’s a point between the 2 that will change as the plant matures.

I wouldn’t push past 850ppms on any strain every time I push past that I see issues I just pulled 18.5 oz off 1 plant with a 7 week veg from seed and never went past 850ppms strain was blue dream a know heavy feeder...other strains iv run if I went past 650-700ppms in flower I ran into issues trust me your not going to hurt your yeilds i promise you...your literally dumping money down the drain going over 850 ppm’s when u over feed them your stressing them out I don’t believe in heavy feeders I believe in plants that tolerate hot growing medium than others
