Growth Technology - Liquid Oxygen
Growth Technology - Liquid Oxygen provides your plants’ roots with a strong source of extra oxygen to help roots to thrive. Liquid Oxygen also creates a hostile environment for root diseases.
How Liquid Oxygen Works
Growth Technology — Liquid Oxygen is a strong solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When it is mixed into your nutrient solution the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into a molecule of water (H2O) plus an oxygen atom (O).
This rogue oxygen atom will then attack microbes and other organic molecules, completely neutralising them and keeping the tank free from pathogenic bacteria and fungi. If there's nothing for the oxygen atom to attach to then it will simply join another oxygen atom and form a stable, dissolved O2 molecule, further oxygenating the water, and thus speeding up root development.
In this way, it's activity is similar to ozone, which is used to kill pathogens and unwanted odours in the air, so you could think of it as being like ozone for your nutrient tank.
Growth Technology — Liquid Oxygen creates a highly oxygenated and sterile root-zone. Roots thrive in a highly oxygenated solution and the lack of root-diseases ensures they do not get root-rot.
The sterile solution that this product creates means that it is unsuitable for organic growing or for use with other products which contain or require friendly microbes. Peroxide will kill these microbes along with the unfriendly types, making this product unsuitable for use in these grow situations.

How To Use
How to Use Liquid Oxygen
Use Growth Technology - Liquid Oxygen can be used right the way through the plant’s life from cutting to harvest. Liquid Oxygen is suitable for use with plants grown in any medium and in any type of grow-system except organic farming methods or grows which utilise friendly microbes. Simply make up your nutrient solution as normal and add 1ml per litre of Liquid Oxygen and mix well. Check and adjust the pH as necessary.
Growth Technology – Liquid Oxygen breaks down fairly quickly and needs to be added every day to be effective.
As with all nutrients, boosters and additives, never mix them together in their concentrated form (i.e. straight out of the bottle). Always add each nutrient, booster or additive to your reservoir or feed water in turn, giving the solution a good stir to mix it in before adding the next one.
WARNING: Growth Technology – Liquid Oxygen is an aggressive liquid. Aggressives are types of substance which can cause damage to skin and clothing and can cause burns. This group of products includes, but is not limited to: pH Up (potassium hydroxide), pH Down (nitric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid), Liquid oxygen (hydrogen peroxide) and products containing liquid forms of silica/silicon. Always add straight to your reservoir water and mix well straight away. Do not mix aggressive substances with any other product while in their concentrated form.
When using, always wear suitable protection (gloves, goggles etc.) and keep out of the reach of children at all times.
