Please grab a stack of 99, and fertilize the plants every earth hour. It will not let you over fertilize them. It will give you a message saying they are already sufficiently fertilized. A very quick way to do this is to put the fertilizer in the top left, or first, slot in a tab of your inventory. You then just right click the plant and hit the numberpad 0 key over and over (three times I believe) and it will select the fertilizer and use it automatically.

Fertilizing shaves an hour off the total grow time. You can fertilize once an hour, meaning that if you fertilize the garden religiously you can shave half the grow time off.
I don't think you were understanding my question lol
Also I already googled about it so I know what fertilizer does, I just couldn't find a definitive answer. I got the impression that I don't, but I did not want to take risks on this one @__@

1 fertilizer = 1 real-world hour less needed to harvest
Thanks for the answer!

I like how that page doesn't source anything, considering parts of it are literally copy-pasted.
Thanks for the answer~
