I put too much H2O2 into my system. Its a top drip hydro system. First signs were the plants leaves were all drooping, almost like they hadn't been getting water, then the leaves showed signs of burning. It make a mess of the plants and they stopped growing. I drained the whole system, added fresh water, 1/4 neuts, ph'd to 5.9. It's been 3 weeks and I still have not seen little if any new plant growth, though about a week and a half ago the plants started to perk back up a little. I'm guessing the roots all got cooked as well. Wondering if anybody has ever done this and had them come recover, or if I should rip them out and call it a wash. It would take another 5 weeks or so to get new seeds to grow to this size, so I don't wanna rip em out if I know they can bounce back inside of another couple weeks.

If they're recovering at all, you're growing new roots. What lighting? And how much peroxide was too much?
Under a 1000w bulb. It definitely was not too much heat. Air cooled hood nearly 3 feet away. I can touch the glass covering the shade with my hand. As for how much peroxide. I'm not 100% sure. I can't remember how much I put in, I just know that after checked the label for how much to put in I noticed that it was a fraction of what I had before.
The planst have been this far away from the ligh since they started, they were growing at a good rate. I've done the last 3 crops this way with no problems. My only concern is if these plants have a chance of recovering or not. That table is informative though, I'll save that for future reference.
Also, I have pruned the roots on one of the plants. I did this about a week and a half ago. I have not seen any new root growth from that particular plant, though I'd like to! Maybe it's starting fresh new roots from the main stem, in which case they have not come through the bottom of the hydroton yet.
