alright. i saw videoman's post and decided to do a little experiment with organics. im a sixteen year old kid who grows weed with a friend. He doesnt want organics. i do. but i dont on a massive scale. so we have decided that we can grow a few plants on organics and the other 30 or so with things like miracle grow chems and stuff. just htought some people would be interested in seeing the difference...if any.
o . and btw, they will be spaced out some so that chemicals do not leak into the proximity of the organic plants... jw. is using hydrogen peroxide organic?
First off just wondering what your buddy has against organics?As for hydrogen peroxide, it can be used in organic gardens, according to Mel Thomas' new book...for helping keep the bacteria and fungus in check...he says to use 35% solution at 10 drops per quart of water with every feed, but I never have, according to Jorge Cervantes it's best for hydroponics....In soil it will bring oxygen to the roots.In Jorges new book he has many good uses for it even increasing germination ratio using it.
but as far as it being organic itself......
Hydrogen peroxide is manufactured today almost exclusively by the autoxidation of 2-ethyl-9,10-dihydroxyanthracene to 2-ethylanthraquinone and hydrogen peroxide using oxygen from the air. The anthraquinone derivative is then extracted out and reduced back to the dihydroxy compound using hydrogen gas in the presence of a metal catalyst. The overall equation for the process is deceptively simple:
H2 + O2 → H2O2
However the economics of the process depend on effective recycling of the quinone and extraction solvents, and of the hydrogenation catalyst.
Formerly inorganic processes were used, employing the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid or acidic ammonium bisulfate (NH4HSO4), followed by hydrolysis of the peroxydisulfate ((SO4)2)2− which is formed.
