Re: nutrafin plant grow
If made for aquarium plants, it should be fine but some fertilizers can cause algae growth.

Re: nutrafin plant grow
A healthy planted tank with the right balance of ferts will usually be able to combat algae. A lot of times, algae is caused by light and micro/macro nutrients, but not enough carbon. Supplementing carbon often curtails algae.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: nutrafin plant grow
Do note that LilGreenPuffer's comments above refer to plant-available carbon - such as dissolved CO2 gas or Seachem's Excel - not GAC or other absorbtive carbons.
Basically, light plus balanced nutrients (including plant-available carbon) give plant growth.
Light plus unbalanced nutrients or lacking plant-available carbon or any other essential nutrient will give algae growth.
