Day 24 (01/30/2008)

The molasses that was added a few days ago has 'gunkified' everything. I pulled the lid with plants off of the reservoir and noticed it was markedly heavier than usual, so I looked down and saw the roots were encased in clear goo.

I changed out the reservoir and put back everything but molasses, with extra Sweet to make up for it. The roots were rinsed to remove most of the goo, and put back in the system. I added some H2O2 today to help with the goo, but unfortunately I forgot that I had already added Liquid Karma... so I killed off a lot of the beneficial microorganisms... sigh

At least they still look pretty.
