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.
