BTW I forgot to say bro, if you're having trouble with mold with higher RH levels, then look into firing up a Sulphur burner in the room, it will help.
Just curious, but why would you load them up with bennies, then attempt to run a dead res in flower? Seems like the colony die off would introduce the possibility for rot.
Is that a thing? Dead bennies turn into rot-causing pathogens? I figured they just die and then the bleach takes over for keeping root pathogens at bay.

They won't "turn into" bad bacteria, but the dead bodies of the bennies will potentially serve as a food source for bad bacteria if not removed. I was curious how krunch planned to deal with this situation.

I don't think the bennies themselves will turn into much at all, I agree they woul pretty much oxidize away from h202 or bleach or whatever. It would be crazy not to do a res change before switching though because the food for the bennies would create a shit show if you went sterile in the middle of a res.

EXACTLY THIS! You cannot mix a sterile with live solution.
I emptied the reservoir and ran filtered water so the bennies would not be killed
Then went back to a dead reservoir....
