but if your using some thing that is alive like a tea or organic nute it will kill your nute.
Yes thanks watercatwn6535nd, that's very true. Compost teas and organic nutrients rely on beneficial bacteria and microbes to break them down, and the hydrogen peroxide cant tell the difference between good and bad ones, it will just kill them all. So will the UV light. If using teas and/or organic nutrients, instead of trying to kill the pathogens, you may want to add beneficial microbes to the solution. If the beneficial bacteria and microbes in the system are much more abundant than the bad, they will keep them in check and your not likely to have problems with pathogens multiplying out of control.
