I just had to share this, because it amused me. Still stumbling along here. Figured I'd see what the whole 12/12 from seed deal was all about, so I gave it a try. This little thing is maybe a month old (and slowly nute burning, I know). Not even 5 inches tale, and already showing male preflowers. It's kinda cute, in a way. haha.

What will you do with the male? Are you going to collect pollen or is it about to be chopped?

No, no pollen collecting. Setup isn't big enough for anything as fancy as mixing strains (It's unknown bagseed anyway). So yeah. It got snipped, moreso than chopped. Tiny as it was. haha.

dam, thats crazy lookin mal, so would you say the 12/12 from seed isnt worth it? cool to try though.
Well, I'm not really sure yet. I still have two more sproutlings growing. One that I started at the same time as that male, but it's kinda dragging behind a bit, in size. So I'm gonna keep going with them, and see what happens. If I end up with an eight inch female, growing out quarter or even nickel sized buds.... I just might laugh until I cry. And then smoke. Heh.. heh.

This makes me wonder about doing 12/12 from seed. I am doing that now with some auto flower short riders. Keep us posted

i know the point is to make the plant show sex or begin flowering as soon as possible, but i would think that size and yield would be an issue?

Yeah. From what I've read about it, 12/12 is good for keeping plants kinda small. So it's better suited to Sativa dominant strains, really. These sprouts I have left (including that male above) look way more Indica dominant. So. Yeah. That, plus my low wattage CFLs, and the small pots I'm using goes a long way to explain why they're so dinky. But what can I say? This is the ghetto growers thread. I'm making due with what I can. lol.

After these last couple of sprouts fill out over the next few weeks, and if they turn out to be males as well, I imagine I'll just snip 'em down and start over, switching back to 18/6.

Sorry if this has been asked before

What type of fan do you guys use along with a filter for odor control??

I need a filter for my grow box and its starting to smell. I have a bathroom fan in my closet were the grow box... any ideas?

Some people seem to swear by the little PC case fans wired to a AC adapter. How those are used in conjunction with a carbon filter is all up to one's ingenuity and imagination, really.

Myself, in what limited growing I've done, I've just used a activated carbon 'closet odor' controller. You can find them in Walmart near Housewares, where the hangars and such are. Just a slim plastic container with a black carbon gel in it that dries out over time, absorbing odor as it goes. I only had one plant going at the time I used it, though. Mileage may vary, and such. Worth checking out, if your grow isn't very big.

No idea if doubling or tripling up on them makes any difference. Just my two cents, ya know? Heh.

i dont have to worry about odor control here, but most use either some type of inline duct carbon filter or the ona gel.

Carbon filters are the best option if you can swing it, I used ona gel in my first grow but it didnt completely remove the smell. I still smelled a slight "plant" smell. not weed just a plant smell. Ive only grown neutral smelling plants but they still produce a distinct smell of living plants.
