Hi all quick question, does it matter what time i put this stuff in the tank?
Light on/ or off? Does it do anything if i put it in a few hours before light's on?
Thanks

Put it in whenever but I like putting it in during lights on/right before lights on to reduce the overall contact time with my inhabitants.

So it won't dissipate until the plants asorb it right? Just wanted to know because with my shedule it will be hard to put it in before light's on.

The sooner towards the lights coming on, the more the plants can use it. Plants only use carbon and ferts during lighting periods, so putting it in 2 hours before the lights go off is sort of pointless. It's like putting out a 4 course meal at 1am when everyone is just going to bed. It's just going to sit on the table and rot all night.

The glut will still be available in the water the next day though...so it really doesn't matter.

No i think i said something wrong. I can't put it right before lights on. But i can put it a few hours before, not after the light go out.

Ok thanks.

Sorry, but Glut has only about 12 hours before it has dissipated too much to be useful. Keep that in mind when looking for the best time.
