Re: Calcium Hypochlorite for Seeds Disinfection and Watter Irrigatio

[Guest guest]

Are you near a CVS Pharmacy? They sell 3% Hydrogen Peroxide that is labeled " for

use as a gargle or rinse " . Maybe it's not technically Food Grade / Maybe it

is... don't know. However, I'm comfortable thinking of and using it as the 35%

Food Grade H2O2 diluted down to a 3% solution.

Food grade peroxide is 35%, whereas regular peroxide is only 3%. I prefer food

grade for several reasons, mainly because I can dilute it to the strenth I

want-I use peroxide in place of harsh chemicals for cleaning, so sometimes I

want something stronger than 3%. The 3% also is watered down with " purified "

water-which means chlorine and other chemicals. You COULD get food grade

peroxide at most health food stores until recently, now most of them only see

7%. Druggies were using the food grade to manufacture drugs, so now all of us

have to suffer the consequences. I am able to get it through a local chemical

supply company because I have a license, but you can also still get it online.

Food grade peroxide needs to be diluted-it is very strong.
