Soaking perlite in a 1/10 H202 and H20 mixture.
    #27016825 - 11/02/20 06:34 AM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Hi all!
I know that you must soak your perlite before putting your 3-4 inches in the SGFC. But my question is should I soak it in a 1/10 solution of H202 and H20? Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any opinions on this extra bit of sterilization?
Cheers!

I soak my perlite in a bleach solution between flushes for 30 mins and rinse

Id rather not use bleach as I’m quite sensitive to smells like that. Would H202 be an okay substitute for the solution?
Cheers!

You should be fine to just dump and soak, or soak and dump it it's your first run. Perlite isn't really a good substrate for anything to grow on or at least in my experience it hasn't been. I've left perlite in the same chamber with contaminated bags and gone back to fruiting without issue without having to bleach it out.

But if you're trying to be extra cautious then I would listen to ohat as he's waaaaay more experienced and knowledgeable than me and I would recommend getting a mask to help with the fumes.

Definitely not required.. I just used the same perlite for a long time and the bleach soak kept it from smelling like stagnant water

A mask for the fumes is a good idea. I’m trying to be pretty cautious with sterilization.
Cheers!
