I hear ya. Sounds like you're set now.
 
Should have moved the cobra male into seclusion last night,this morning more pollen sacs opened and there is pollen dust on its lower leaves-27 days old! Is that normal-seems quick to me,would have thought 5 or 6 weeks before that happens.Wanted to pollenate the cobra female anyway but didn't want it all over inside the growcloset.Didn't have my 5" circulator fan on just the scrubber exhaust fan.hope i got it out of there before it spread all over.I didn't notice pollen anywhere else but on the lower leaves of the male-the female was right next to it in its 3 gallon growbag.
 
I wouldn't be too concerned. You might have a little stray pollen but the fact you had your circulation fan off should limit it.
 
Started collecting a little pollen today after moving the male out of the closet and into the rubbermaid.Amazing how much is in just a couple flowers.Storing it in glass vial with top and a couple grains of rice for moisture control.Will give him another week of life until i get enuf pollen and then he goes to the happy huntin grounds.My pineapple auto seedlings are growin nicely with their first set of serrated leaves and appear happy in their new home.My cobra female is growing a little taller,moving the light up a little every day and shes just about reachin it by end of day.Tomorow is water day and got a batch aereating right now.All is good in the green world finally!
 
Hit my female cobra with growbig and tigerbloom according to fd's nute schedule for 4 weeks.The female cobra has grown 2" in 3 days and my pollen donor male has shot up 3" in 3 days-after i took him out of the growcab and delegated him to the countertop with nothing but the overhead kitchen lights on.Didn't get any pollen from him today-no new flowers opening yet,wish he'd hurry up as he's a smelly bugger.Got stupid last night and popped a dinafem blue widow in water to crack,cracked by this morning and had a small taproot showin so popped it in the jiffy seedstarter soil and put it on the heatmat with the dome.Hopin to see somethin in the next day or 2.Thinkin this bluewidow will find a home in my rubbermaid growbox to keep the pollenated female cobra company.The widow was a fem seed freebie from attitude from my last order of auto seeds-wish it was auto and not photo.
 
Forgot to mention both cobras have roots pokin out across the bottoms of their 3 gallon smartpots-from the looks of how many there are they must have filled the bag with roots.Hard to believe their only 6" and 9" tall with that many roots-looks like they did all their growin under the dirt.
 
yeah, FD's fert sched works like a dream huh?
Yeah it does,i'm at 4 weeks with the cobras,looks like next watering at 4.5 weeks is flushing out the salt buildup.I'm using 3 gallon smartpots,i assume flush out is 3 gallons or more of ph'ed water?Never got far enuf to have to flush.
 
Thought i'd throw a pic of my flash cobra auto female at day 29 up.Looks like quite a few flower sites,shes a squatty little sucker at 7" today,hoping she keeps going vertical.
 
Approaching the 4.5 week of fd's nute feeding schedule and week 4.5 is flushing with clean ph water to flush out salt buildup.I'm using 3 gallon smartpots,how much water should i run thru to flush out? My cobra female has been pollenated and according to Stitch from seed to harvest is 70-75 days. I'll guess a seedcrop may take longer to finish? Just trying to figure how much longer to keep nuting them as fd's schedule ends on week 5.5 and says to begin final flushing starting week 6. So much info to digest i'm gettin confused!
