What's wrong with my plant? (first time growing)

I'm a first time grower.

I'm growing an Auto-Skunk on a coco-perlite soil in an 11-liter-pot (started on a smaller 2 liter-pot and moved it after 30 days). I'm growing indoors, the first 45 days with CFL Bulbs and the rest of the days (after moving from a house to another) it's on direct sunlight for 6-7 hours and indirect sunlight for another 6 hours.

It's on her 64th day after germination. And this is how she looks right now (80 cms height)

I'm giving her water daily since the direct sunlights dries the soil pretty much, it's pretty dry at the end of the day and if I lift the pot and check on the drain holes, it seems quite dry too.

I realized today it has some weird spots on a bottom leaf

as well as some newer leaves on the top are having yellowish tips.

What could be wrong with her?. What should I do to revert that in case that's not normal?.

Thanks

1-2 damaged leaves isnt a big deal. It either got too dry at one time, got over watered at one time, or the ph is a tad off. No biggie, just keep doing what your doing and pull that leaf off to see if if the problem persists

@Diabolical666 pull that leaf off, like tearing it off the plant? removing it?. It's an old leave as you can see from it's size and location at the bottom. Just "tear it" or "cut it" with some scissors?.

As a first-timer, I'm not sure about how to handle the plant, sorry if I ask too much.

@Diabolical666 Thanks, I'll do that.

So, it doesn't seems like a nutrient problem?.
no, not a nute problem. I would upgrade the pot to a bigger size tho. Some would say no because its already flowering, but you are early in still and that plant is pretty healthy. It will do lots better in a bigger pot with fresh soil. Being root bound is common, but should be around the last 2-4 wks of flower cycle

@Diabolical666 Transfering to a bigger pot makes sense, since it might be root bound, it might be complicated not to stress to much the roots while transfering. It was easy with the small plant and the small pot, since I was able to hold it in one hand while removing from the small pot and setting it on the 11-liter.

Any advice in how to make the change?

First, the tips and weird burning looks like nute burn to me. Don't take that as gospel though Second, those white things are definitely Whiteflies. Google white flies cannabis or how to get rid of white flies cannabis, or go through a thread talking about marijuana deficiencies or pests to see what to do. Looks like there's alot of em though. I can't tell ya what to do because I haven't had em just learn a lot so I wont have to. Whatever you do, act fast cause you could start seeing some real problems. Good luck buddy.

Aphids bro...get cpl different miticides and use them alternating for 2 days straight. Douse the entire grow and soil
\edit: those are white flies....my bad. If you have some Neem or homemade mixture of:Chopped up garlic and green onions. Steep in hot water. Spray on plant and soil thoroughly
