Another fantastic video, well put together and informative! Personally because i didnt want to spend money on the clay pebbles and solutions, i went DIY to the max lol I used plastic beads my grandma had given me for crafts (washed in water/peroxide mix, then rinsed in water), put the cubed plant in the cup, filled with beads and for the top to stop the light... I went with a CD because that's what I had laying around, i cut a slit and slid it around the plant and hey it worked!😂 Ill be getting my Bambu Lab A1 mini when they finally are out of back order in January and i think ill try to design my own custom covers for net pots that expand the centre hole as the plant grows not to choke it (an idea i randomly thought about while watching your video). Thanks again for another great video momma! 🌱

The active ingredient in Hydroguard is Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens - so search that in combination with 'hydroponic bacteria' and hopefully you'll get some results you have access to over there. I did a quick search and did see someone post about using "Canna 250ml Rhizotonic" as a UK alternative to Hydroguard. It has some crossover in terms of ingredients but also has others listed - so definitely do a bit of research on your own before using. I've never used that product so I can't attest to it, but there's a few hydroponic boards out there that are dedicated to UK! Best of luck!
