Additional Information
DIY NPK powder fertilizers. Note: I took the pictures just after returning from vacation. Just before leaving I ran out of CO2. Instead of running to buy more, I just reduced to 1/20 the dosing of fertilizer, reduced the light to 6 hours and left with no CO2. The result was really bright red plants, almost no growth and no algae at all.
