@ChroToker I don't personally use Beneficial bacteria additives in my DWC reservoirs anymore simply based on cost effectiveness. If everything about your grow has been optimized from temperatures, airflow to humidity and you are looking to improve something then adding active microbial life in your reservoir can do wonders! However without an ideal environment the effectiveness of the microbial life falls drastically. On the contrary if you have an ideal environment and are adding C02 then microbial life effectiveness goes up even more! If you do have an ideal environment and are looking for a good DWC Beneficial bacteria then I recommend 'ReCharge". Long story short: In my opinion Beneficial bacteria should come 2nd to last in your environment and only when followed by C02 for the most cost effective results. Of course if cost effectiveness isn't a worry to you then microbial life is good for roots at all times! (just don't forget to do reservoir swaps) 😎 I hope I was able to help with your question ChroToker. Be sure to update us!

i'm just nervous about the idea of intentionally contaminating my tank and my grow room, plus you can always add enzymes and humic + fluvic acid which basically does the job better. Are you going aquaponics ? like with live fish and stuff? are you a microbiologist ? if not well why are you making petri dishes lol ? gonna be real hard to stay on top of a dynamic system, one night with no warning the culture can blow up suddenly you're growing mushrooms and mold... headaches bro, spare yourself ! 🚀
