    Mine never do. I think it takes a perfect amount of cO2 and fertilizers, something I can never figure out. :)

    Pearling is when plants produce enough oxygen that it creates little "pearls", or air bubbles on it's leaves.

    Yeah, that's how I feel. As long as their green, they're alive and I don't care how much oxygen they create.

    That pic was taken from a 10g that shared a 65w 10k PC light with another 10g (side by side). I used jello DIY C02...

    It's E. Tenellus in case you're wondering.
