If your roots are going bad you will be able to smell and feel slime on the roots. This is my feed schedule for hydro. Seedlings take 400 ppm 0.8 ec from the get go. If you see good growth then every week I increase my ppm up by 100ppm. 2nd week 500 ppm 1.0 ec 3rd week 600 ppm 1.2 e 4th week 700 ppm 1.4 ec 5th week 800 ppm 1.6 ec, I stop increasing here until ready to switch to flower nutes. When I switch to flower nutes I lower the ppm to 600ppm, 1.2ec to start early flower, and after first week, they go to 700 ppm 1.4 ec and mid flower to 800 ppm again. Ph I keep at 5.6 to 5.8 for vegging and 6.2 to 6.3 for flowering. Dont use cal/mg all the time unless you see they need it or your using RO water. H202 once every couple of weeks at 2 to 3 tsp per gallon. Frozen pop bottles throughout lights on can keep your water much cooler and reduce the need to use H202. Cheers

Thank you @gmslave I'm pretty much in line with you. Start week 3 I'm @ 610ppm. I change out my ice packs every 4-6 hours during lights on. I've also just purchased a bar fridge to run my air pump in to cool things a bit. Maybe I'm over doing the h202, I'd love to get away from it and get into bennies. I'll get my Temps down lol

High temperatures in substrate, h202 supplements my oxygen levels and kills bad bacteria is my understanding. From what I've read if you can't keep Temps below 72F you should run h202. Am I wrong to do this?

Can I ask why you would use hydrogen peroxide in your grow?

For h202 I'm doing 60ml per 30g rez at change and adding 30ml every 3 days after. 10 day rez swap
