From my original post:
Quote:
Lights are Tek-Lights 156 watts (T-5 HO), turned on 10 hours / day.
I have been burning just half the lights (2 of the 4 lamps). Yesterday, I decided to turn all 4 lamps on to try to accelerate plant growth (to consume more nutrients and stave the algae).
All 4 lamps are identical 6700k lamps. I've been cutting back to around 6 to 8 hours since the 90% w/c.
