Well, I spoke with MrN earlier. I don't feel right about jumping out of the comp and back in this week so I asked if I could just continue to post along with everyone else but not be included in the final competition. I figure, if I scream uncle, it is over. Regardless, I committed to do my best and I will continue to post until she is either dead or the 65 days are up.
I came in last week to find her all slumped over, yellow as a crayon and didn't think there was any way to ever revive her. I started foliar feeding immediately and continued for several days. I pulled the res out and the pump was still going but I wasn't getting any flow. That was early that morning and I had to go to work. I came home that afternoon and tore the entire thing apart and found algae build up in me flow control valve. The tubing is clear so I assume the light was hitting it and slowly building up over the past month. Anyways, she looks like crap but like I said. I will see it through to the end.
I reiterate, I will stay out of the comp. I just wanted to keep my commitment to MrN and everyone here on AFN.
