someone suggested pond zyme, I was wondering if this is the same its for my fishtank. Would this replace any other bennies. I'm using advanced entire line. I was just curious cuz this was I my house but I have all the advanced bottles full. How would this be applied? One time or keep using it? I'm going into flower tomorrow

"Benefits: contains millions of live bacteria to destroy sludge in the gravel bed, and keep glass and plants clean. Also helps boost the natural aquarium cycle.
When to use: Use weekly for a healthy, clean aquarium and to maintain strong biological filter.
Directions: Use API dosing cap on bottle. Shake well. To maintain a clean, healthy aquarium; add 1 tsp. (5 ml) per 10 U.S. Gallons (38 L) of water weekly. For new aquariums to help boost biological filter; double the dose, use at start up. And for two additional weeks."

PS: my plant is in a standalone DWC 5 gallon bucket with like 2-3 gallons.

Iv used stress zyme in dwc 5 gallon bucket. I think i was using only 5ml on water changes. Then after that top off water was 1ml to 3 ml of zyme weekly or when it needed water top off.
I use advanced nutrients also

it definitely kept my roots from getting root rot & other problems im sure their are better products to use but it was the cheapest way i could figure out that worked. But it really depends on how big your root mass is inside if their's a full bucket of roots you might need to add 1 ml extra but dont go crazy on the dosage theirs alot of bacteria in 5ml of stress zyme.

Bennies are great in dwc...ive read that some of the bennies for fish tanks actually REMOVE phosphates from the water.
Not sure how it will affect the nutrients availabe to your plant.
I use Heisenberg tea....its a stickied thread in this forum. It completely reversed my root rot and has prevented it for months now.
