Re: [GSAS-Member] Subject: Which Bulb
Shango,
Light is sort of like the gas pedal, it determines the speed at which the
plants can grow. If you don't have enough fuel (CO2/Ferts) then the whole
thing can crash. A common side effect of too much light is algae in the
tank. Stunted plant growth can also occur when there is too much light.
Basically the plants have two forces "pulling" in opposite directions. On
the one hand they have lots of light = fast growth. On the other they may
not have enough CO2/ferts = slow(er) growth. Result? Poor little plants
forced to grow too fast on too few nutrients. :(
