RE: pearling
Water can only hold so much dissolved O2 (the exact amount depends on the temp.) -- when you go above this point (roughly 8-9 ppm), the water starts to become supersaturated and at the same time the O2 starts to escape in the form of bubbles. So basically when you supply all of a plants needs it will thrive and produce lots of O2. When the water can't hold any more you'll see pearling.
i dont think there is such a thing as too much pearling, but i do believe there is an ideal target of 15 or somthing

that should have been the last statement of the post.
close it.
all was said that should be.
I'm pretty sure if this "excessive" pearling interfered with nutrient absorption, then the pearling wouldn't be "excessive" anymore. Undernourished plants wouldn't pearl so much.
