I finally overcame my stinginess and bought fertilizer - and two weeks in, there's already been a huge difference! But it got me thinking...
Now that there are more available nutrients in the water column, should I be changing my lighting schedule? Would there be a practical benefit to either increasing or decreasing lighting after making this change?
I can (and will) provide a few more details about my own lighting and plants, but before I do so, I'm just curious about the answer from a theoretical perspective. I know it would be easy for someone to look at my numbers and say "I've always done more" or "You should try doing less", but I want rationale more than I want opinions.
SCIENCE!
