 Strongest h20/h202 ratio for misting.

Does everyone here use the standard 1:10 h202/h20 ratio when misting their casings? Or do some here use stronger?
Also, when using a coolmist, how much h202 do I need to keep the resevoir water clean? How long will the water stay clean after putting h202 in it? Thanks.

my record player actually does light mistings w/h2o2 from the regular 3% stuff it buys at the store.
they still grow fine. i dont know if its because it switched to coco coir instead of peat, or that the terrarium is in natural light (below a window, UV rays?) or that its the h2o2 working, but no contamination problems have happened lately. it also seems i have to fan less. dunno.

I generally use H2O2 only when i see signs of contamination. And when that happens i use %2-3 concentration of H2O2. Under normal conditions or if the place your terrarium is not as clean as preferred i advice you to use %1-1,5 concentration of H2O2 for daily misting.

excessive peroxide misting can shock and stun the mycellia, setting it back. it's best not to use any unless you need it, then the recommended strength last i heard was 20:1 water:peroxide from the bottle.
