Shagrathanswered grow question 4 years ago I see you are actually using bennies with hydroguard and voodoo juice, but there is still so many things out of place so try to maintain optimum balance in pH nevertheless. Bacteria needs some food to survive longer so they need carbohydrates, like an bg bud or just humic acid or blackstrapmolasses or even the water you used to boil rice, pasta, potatoes etc. Bacteria will suffer or even die if the environment (your water resrvoir) goes through big changes all of sudden. So if you want to keep the bacteria alive, don't change pH or Ec too quickly and never change your whole reservoir at once. This bioponic is whole new chapter in hydro grow so I suggest that you stick to basics for now but you can use the products still, but dont stress about them too much
