Snowstorm Ultra/ Triacontanol substitute needed.

Does anyone know of a non-organic product containing triacontanol? Was going to use Snow storm Ultra but people say it causes bad bacteria to explode in rez/hoses/roots/ due to being derived from organic sources. Unfortunately every triacontanol containing bloom booster/additive I find contains organics.

Picked up some "Rock Absorbalight" today which seems to be a liquid light knockoff. I plan on running it as a foliar but still would like to find a triacontanol product that's safe to add directly to the rez. for late flowering. The only non-organic sources of triacontanol additives I can find are overseas. Must be a legal thing I'm thinking....

I have been using SSU with no algae/bacteria issues, however when I used to airate my res, algae was a nightmare. I use a variety of nutrients, some partially organic, which contain aerobic bacteria. Air pumps/bubble stones allow aerobic bacteria to thrive. After experimenting without the air pump I found that my res had barely any algae/scum build-up.
