subculture B

I know this isn't really the right forum for this but I get much quicker responses over here than the grow room. I recently decided to start using subculture B in my hydro tomato garden. I battled the rot for a few weeks with h202, a uv sterilizer and some elbow grease. Afterwards I decided to inoculate my buckets with some bennies. I figured that since I stopped using h202 right before I used the subculture the bennies would thrive in the growing media and root zone but would die off from the uv sterilizer in the rez. Well I think I may have used a bit too much or, I have another infection. My airstones are just caked in a light brown gelatin like organism but my rez water doesn't smell and my roots are white as ever. Can someone tell me what it would look like if the organisms in subculture were too prevalent in my system? 8 don't think it's pythium again as my roots look good and my rez doesn't stink but there sure is a lot of jello around anywhere super oxygenated.

Anyone?...I know there's some experienced growers out there

better to start with a clean enviro, than to be battling all the way through your grow, every grow.
Hope that helps.

Not at all actually haha. I thought it was clean when I started. Everything was sterilized but I've heard that spores and bacteria are everywhere any way, just waiting for an opportunity.

I have a grow box that I thought I cleaned for 2 grows. After the third grow with no luck getting rid of that slime, I drained the reservoirs, boxed up the pumps and hoses and bought some pots. It might be a little slower growing but I don't have to contend with that snotty mess anymore. I actually like dealing with dirt/less medium.

There are many issues that could happen at any time but they don't happen when you have a good clean enviro first and foremost.
