| Mojo .... good thoughts. Your not the only one who is surprised by the amount of Phyto I add .... I am too. I sued to add 2-3 capfulls a day when I was buying for the LFS .... but it was just getting so Dam expensive. Now I'm growing my own for free and I see no reason not to add as much as I can grow in a 24 hours period .... to be honest I could probably add more. I have seen a definate upturn in the polyp expansion on my braching and table acro's since the increase in available Phyto ... does this mean they are more healthy, well no it doesn't, neither does it mean they are happier ..... Look at what happens to turkeys at christmas when we fatten them up, but I must say the colours are more vibrant and I enjoy the thought of growing something for nothing.
