Peroxide misting: ratios?

#826775 - 08/18/02 07:40 PM (22 years, 3 months ago)

Hey everyone
I am currently enjoying my first flush ever of cubensis mushrooms, from three casings of B+ (and it is looking very good - harvest tommorow!). Anyway, I have also had two PF jars finishing up their colonisation at one end of the fruiting chamber (I only have one terranium). Today I checked the jars as I was going to birth them, and I saw that one of the jars had the dreaded green in the top half of the jar!!!!

Naturally I removed this jar from the terranium straight away and destroyed it. The other jar is fine and I have birthed it, it is dunking now.
So anyway, I am now parinoid that my casings are going to get the dreaded green! I have heard of people mixing a little H2O2 into their misting solution (although I haven't been misting as of yet) but I was thinking it would give me some peace of mind to give this terranium some kind of extra sterility measures.
So what ratio of H2O2 to water should I use? I have some 3% peroxide solution from the chemist. How much of this should I add to a litre of water for a good sterilising mist?
Also, I am humidifying via fish tank bubbler as well as damp perlite. I added a few splashes of H2O2 to both the perlite and the water which the bubbler is going through. Does this help?

I usually mix 1 part 3% H202 to 10 parts of H20.
