I'm still a noob, only growing since 2010. But I have gone back and forth from beneficials to sterile, it seems that sterile for real reservoir\recirculating scenarios is a little better for me. The bene's are kool and can maybe help, but they grow their own extra crap that can clog stuff, and if you get a bad batch (with some bad bacteria or fungus in it), you can get weird black shit on the roots thats gnarly.
That being said, I go sterile now & use Dutch Master Zone. Like 1ml\gallon once a week. If you got bad yuck already, you can go 2 ml per gallon. The stuff really is gentle, I have superdosed it when I had crazy shit in there and the plants dont kook out, they start growing new white roots.

What he said, I recently doubled my air supply and quit using those cheap ass stones at Wally World. Things took off. Using 2 gallon buckets now gonna hafta go to 5 gallons. Oh I quit using those cheap ass aquarium pumps from there too, bigger lines etc........Freakin buckets are churning now.........
I had just a wee problem with roots, hence the upgrades, dont know where it fits in exactly but I've started using 5ml hygrozyme too per gallon more as a preventive thing, maybe it helps, not sure, but no rot in 2 months. Its just what I've been doing, So, with a grain of salt...............
