OpenGL / GLSL: bloom / blur, rendering in FBO

I have reached another dead end, which I seem to be unable to resolve on my own. I really hope someone can help me.

I tried to create a nice little bloom effect using GLSL, which worked pretty well. When I tried to include something in my scene, I noticed that I had forgotten to clear my TSF before rendering them.

Without cleaning, this worked on never-changing scenes, because I always used the same texture. With glClear (); the command still works, but only for the very first frame, all I get after that is a black screen. Therefore, I think my problem is that I cannot constantly update my FBOs every frame.

I feel that I am either missing something very obvious or something terrible.

I would be grateful for any suggestions you may have.

Here is what I get for the first frame: enter image description here

Sources: (using openFrameworks)

Setup:

void testApp::setup(){

ofSetVerticalSync(true);
ofDisableSetupScreen();

width = ofGetWidth();
height = ofGetHeight();

//complie/link/generate ShaderObjects ....
horizontalBlurFrag.load("/opt/openframeworks/apps/examples/FBO_basic_shader_new_continued_v4_2/bin/data/fragment_shader_horizontal.glsl", GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
verticalBlurFrag.load("/opt/openframeworks/apps/examples/FBO_basic_shader_new_continued_v4_2/bin/data/fragment_shader_vertical.glsl", GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);
BlurVertex.load("/opt/openframeworks/apps/examples/FBO_basic_shader_new_continued_v4_2/bin/data/horizontal_blur.glsl", GL_VERTEX_SHADER);
blendTextures.load("/opt/openframeworks/apps/examples/FBO_basic_shader_new_continued_v4_2/bin/data/blend_shader.glsl", GL_FRAGMENT_SHADER);

fboOriginal.initialize(width, height);
fboH800.initialize(width, height);
fboV800.initialize(width, height);
fboH400.initialize(width, height);

UPDATE:

The alpha value of glClearColor seems to be part of my problem.

I tried messing with him, and here's what I got: (with increasing and decreasing sizes of quads, as you would expect)

enter image description here

Somehow I seem to be losing all color somewhere along the way. Oddly enough, I got the best result, having (0, 0, 0, 0) for 4 of my FBOs and (0, 0, 0, 1) for one of them. Setting (0, 0, 0, 0) for all FBOs gives only a grayish image (which I assume is the default window without anything in it).

Here is my "blending-together-shader":

uniform sampler2D originalSizeTex;
uniform sampler2D downscaledTex;

varying vec2 vTexCoord;

void main(void){
    vec4 colorOriginal = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    vec4 colorDownscale = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);

    colorOriginal = texture2D(originalSizeTex, vTexCoord.xy);
    colorDownscale = texture2D(downscaledTex, vTexCoord.xy);

    gl_FragColor = vec4(colorOriginal + colorDownscale);
}

Any guesses?
