Default CO2 in low light situations.

Is CO2 beneficial for plants in a low light(1-2 wpg) application or
should it only be used in 2 wpg+ applications? Thanks,

I have a 10 gal under a 15" (13w ??) T8 with crypts and java moss in
it. After putting the DIY CO2 into it, the plants have really taken
off. The growth on the moss is truly noticeable as it is outpacing the
SAE poaching on it.

I cannot measure a pH difference in the water. So, it appears the
plants are taking in the CO2 as fast as it is introduced. But, the
growth and pearling tell me the CO2 is really there.
