Very early preflower... Need help...

[canacanna]

They are in their fourth week from putting them into soil and they've started to develop these little funny things. I guess these are preflowers. Can we say anything about the sex? Please enlighten me

Not preflowers...

secondary branching... but you're looking in the right spot.. that's where you'll see preflowers eventually.. probably about 2/3 up the plant or closer to the top.

Ya, what Bob said. Just let them grow. You'll know them when you see them.

[canacanna]

Thank you. As you both advised, I waited (switched to 12/12 also) and took a couple of photos. Here they are...

those pistols look female,

Yes, definitely female from the last picture you posted. Are you completely flowering your plants now? If you moved to 12/12 just to sex, you're going to lose about a month of total grow time to re-veg it.

[canacanna]

no, not for just sexing... I'll continue growing them in 12/12. They are not big though. A little taller than a foot. This is my first experience, I wonder how small the yeild will be...:rasta:

Now I have those two ladies and they started to smell like hell. I have installed a manually made carbon scrubber near the top of my grow cabin and it works ok.

I have an active intake at the bottom. The fans run 24/7. My question is that should I place a carbon sheet on the active intake as well? Cause the odor is not completely gone (though it's not that irritating)...

Is it possible to seal the room completely? Filtering the air coming into the room doesn't seem like it would make much difference if the odor is still able to escape the room. If it's not possible to seal the room entirely, you may eventually want to think about using an exhaust with a slightly higher cfm rating.

Or you could look into masking the smell, which is a cheaper alternative, but may add an unwanted scent to your buds. Or take away the scent altogether.

My bad, sorry. I explained it wrongly.

I'm using a wardrobe as a grow room. So the exhaust fan filters the air and gives it into the room again. And the intake also takes air from within the room.

In other words, there's no fresh air entering the room from outside unless the room's window is open...

I have sealed the closet entirely except there's no carbon stuff on the intake opening. (Is it possible that some air can flow through the intake fan to the opposite direction?)
