hi to all,
Just been sorting out an al b fuct style sog system and am in the process of vegging mom's.
Now my question's really are rather varied so i'll just shoot.....
1.where can i get the seemingly large quantity of h202 need for the op?
2.when i flush out my res what cleaning steps should i take? i.e clean everything with bleach lines fitings pumps and all or just change the water nute it up, ph it and keep going?
3.has anyone heard of a product called microkill? and if so could this be used as a substitute for the h202?
how high should i keep my lights from the tips of the plants? they are 1000W HPS in large adjust-a-wing shades.
4. i'm planning on growing in coco but have noticed on a test run that a whole heap of coco makes its way back to the res and in the tray. any comments? is this going to be a problem?

I'll probably end up with a million more questions but for the mean time if anyone can help me out or has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I know there taking h202 of the shelves at local stores because the U.S is getting it from canada and the U.S is saying its to strong of a chemical to buy with out a license.. This is in most states.. But go to a hydro store

so what your saying is that the water in my res won't get any fungus or mould over the 2 weeks of it being in there even without the h202? you just use nute and ph adjusted water and thats it?
