What is this?

why do sellers do this??

I would hate to wait for something I paid immediately. If I pay you the same day you best send the items ASAP.

I've noticed that you haven't mentioned what you're dosing for nutrients.

The pearling could be an indication that the plants are very happy and are growing fast (specially stem plants). Fast growth means the plants require more ferts. If you have many stem plants, make...

It could be an internal leak...the leak may be minimal such that a soapy water test may not detect it.
