H2O2 will absolutely keep things from growing and food grade is the only requirement I have seen.
Not sure what concentration you could run but would be low. Less than a corrective dose for sure.
One of the reason we stay in coco, the free ability to use organics without worry.

Must be something else going on a DWC is an active system
there should be no signs of root rot.
could be a growth medium problem and probably too much off it
less amount of growth medium you can get away with is best

Woodworking or fungal attack?I was away from home for 3 days, once I got back I saw those damned mushroom midgets that were already near the carrots for irrigation.
I fear that 2 plants (the largest) have hurt.
Possible fungal infection?
Details and other photos in the diary. Thanks for the help/support.

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown rootsMy plant has these issues. I've rinsed off the roots in case it was nutrient buildup on roots, which I still believe to be the case. I have given this plant a good amount of nutrients the week before. Does this appear to be a deficiency? Any ideas?
Thanks all for responding5 years ago

Root rot :(I believe I have a case of root rot. Pic attached. I just added Orca in the morning, and noticed orange foam and these roots literally hours later. Water was still under 70 from the res change sunday afternoon. Currently 68.
I rinsed in tap, they look a little better. ;(

Brownish red algae like substance in DWC within 48 hrs- plants look great thoI’ve done DWC several times, not a newbie. Getting pH spikes from 6.0 to just under 7.0 in 48 hrs, and an algae like dark brown/reddish substance within 48hrs as well. New stones, black buckets, 950 GPH pump feeding 1 stone per bucket. Net pots covered with cardboard. What gives?

Roots mushyNon ho trovato nessun rimedio al problema delle mie radici. Continuano a deteriorarsi. Purtroppo credo di aver commesso qualche errore le prime 2 settimane nella pulizia del serbatoio, poco accurata. Imparerò da quest'errore. Vale la pena continuare? Tks
