First off I've been browsing for the answers I'm looking for but could't find them so im making a thread.

Ok I just started to grow, my first attempt. I have 1 plant about a week old. I had it on 12/12 but then read that 18/6 would be better. I have a CFL bulb on it and Im gonna try to just grow with 1 cfl bulb if its possible. I dont have money or resources at the moment so I'm just winging it.

I was wondering Why do I need to know if its male or female? Also, when I figure out which it is, What do i do if its male or female? I've read that I destroy the Male, I have yet to find a reason for this. Are males like unsmokeable or something like that?

And correct me if I'm wrong but I think I'll be doing 18/6 for another 2 weeks, till 3 sets of leaves are out. Then, to 12/12 to start flowering. Im not too sure but I'm learning.

Another Question, When Do you think I will be able to tell what strain it is. ( I obviously will not beable to tell, but i figure ill get a pic up to see what You guys think )

Will this 1 plant have a strong odor as it moves along in its growth?

Thanks for helping me out. Sorry If this has been asked before or w/e.
Heres a PIc of my plant so far. Can some1 give me an estimate on How old it is? there is a small set of leaves growing in you cant see since it is quite blurry.
