When is the earliest to actually know if a plant is male of female? (dont want to mess up the first crop by leaving a male in.)
well there are plenty of factors that set the time on sexing, strain, gender, care/stress. the best way to tell is to just be patient. you don't need an eagles eye to catch a male before it pollinates if you have done your homework.

lots of people use cfls to surround the lower parts of their plants, just follow the same rules "Make sure the bulb isn't right on top of the plant but within a close perimeter"

when in the early stages its best to keep them moist not soaked. don't go grabbing your watering can everytime you see a little dry spot, the easiest way for me is to use the weight method. lift the pot and check how heavy it is compared to when you last watered it. If you shake the pot side to side a little bit and it feels like there is still some weight in the bottom wait an extra day it wont kill it.
