help a new grower please

Hey, I'm new to the growing and i am having a lil problem with my babies. I have, 5 plants, 4 of them started to streach, I was told to move them closer to the light. So I did, in a week or so I noticed one of my babies fan leaves had a tan color spot on it, thinking it was burned I moved it 2' away from the light, and it worstened, so I read up on it, and the light turnd out to be too hot, so I changed the bulb to a compact fluorescent daylight bulb, seeing, that they say thus is a better bulb to use during vegging. It seems to have betterd over night a lil, but as being a pothead :) and first time grower I continue to read up on things, then I read that this tan spot could be some type of iron problem the picture below is the leaf after spending over night in the new lighting please note she is still in vagg stage even though she is showing sex, please tell me what you think may be the proble, anything helps

You will get better diagnosis if you post this in the plant problems section. Maybe fill out the troubleshooting form and a picture helps out alot. Good luck

hey, its been 4 weeks now since i planted my kush seeds, and they already smell, i just wanted to know is it normal for it to smell like lemons?? please help out a new grower, thanks in advance

smelling doing great....!

okay so i put one of my kuch plants on 12/12 two days ago, and i have seen no difference, so how long does it take for it to show me its a lady????

it can take upto a week for a plant to show its sex, i put 2 diamond girls in at the same time and 1 started to flower in a couple of days and the other took a lil over a week to show so just give them time mate.

from 3days to 14days and when dialed in the plant sex's in veg.


PRE-FLOWERING AND EARLY SEXING
Recall that during pre-flowering, plants start to exhibit their sex. As a grower, you should be hoping for as many females as possible. Pre-flowering occurs at the node regions. Towards the end of vegetative growth you need to check your plant nodes for what is called calyx development. A clone will carry the exact same genetic makeup as the plant it came from, so if you know your clone's history you will already be able to predict it's sex.

CHECKING FOR CALYX DEVELOPMENT
Choose a plant. First of all examine the node regions of the plant where the branches meet the stem. You are looking for very small pod shaped organs here at these regions.* If you don't find any here then move outwards along each branch checking each node region until you come to the tip. If you do not find calyx development then your plant has not reached its pre-flowering phase yet. You need to wait for it. Calyx development will come in time.
There are three early indicators of plant sex, but they are not 100 percent accurate.So remember, these methods can fail, but are often accurate predictors of your plants' sex.

First Early Sexing Method
If you've been growing the same strain and all the seeds were started at the same time, then you may notice that some plants are taller than others: the smaller plants tend to be female and the taller ones tend to be male. You can separate these plants into two sections in order to see how good your guesswork was when you do definitively identify sex. The other thing to note is that male plants generally start to pre-flower before females. If you have taller plants that are producing new growths before the smaller ones then the taller plants are probably male.

Second Early Sexing Method
A good way to identify plant sex at an early date is to examine the calyx* with the aid of a very fine magnifying glass. If the calyx is raised on a small, short stem then it's probably a male. If the calyx isn't raised on a small short stem then it's probably a female.

Third Early Sexing Method
'Force-flowering' is probably the best early-sexing method. To force-flower a cannabis plant, simply take a cutting and place it in a cup of water or a cloning medium, such as rockwool. Expose the cutting to 12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of total darkness. The cutting should flower and display its sex — however the plant must be mature enough to present its sex. An immature plant will not show sex because initial calyx development is not photoperiod-related. Plants normally mature around the forth week of vegetative growth because sex is not genetically determined until the third week of growth.This also applies to 'feminized seeds,' which can, and often do, turn out to be male.** If your plants are exhibiting calyx development, then this is a suitable method of determining the plant's sex.

okay i thought the pods meant it is a male????
