Fertilization

Can one "over fertilize" a plant (under lights) to make it grow more
rapidly, as in "forcing"?  [Yes, I agree one can over fertilize, build up
the salts levels and kill the plant that way - but is there too much with
respect to making it grow.]

My guess is that the plant physiologists will say that the plant self
regulates and takes up only what it needs.  Excess over what the plant
needs feeds the algae.

Would like to hear from the plant physiologists or those who are "in the
know."
