I remember now that I planted the sprouted white widow seed directly into the planter.
The one in the glass cup was the one I lost in the soil.
This is that one now.
That one and two others are going outside as soon as it's warm enough. (4 plant limit)
I got into my oxygen generator and drank a few then decided to pose my plant for a picture.
Then I decided to fire up a few more lights.
110 watts of sils now and 160 watts of flouros.
I put a thermometer in the closet to watch the temps.
Some of the leaves are sweating and I think thats a good sign.
I was gone for a week and she was thirsty.

I sent my plant to the infirmary.
Turns out I've got a magnesium and calcium deficiency.
I'm gonna give it a week to heal then crank up the lights again.

I'm pretty sure I over watered again.
The soil was wet at the top and even growing some mold so I stopped watering and drained off the water from the bottom of my cooler.
The PH was OK at 6.5 and it had a PPM of only 180 but it smelt like sulphur/rotten eggs/sewage so I think I've goot root rot.
The inner leaves look curled and weak and thought it was due to lack of light so I removed some fan leaves but now I think it's due to over watering.
I'm gonna try to stop messing with my plant and let it dry out.
Hopefully my bio-herd can sort this out for me.
I've got spring tails, soil mites and a half dozen worms to help. (although I may have drown the worms).
The top leaves look good so I think she's on the road to recovery.

I reposted this here so I don't clutter up the other thread.
If you want more space, google “blowoff hose” with regards to an airlock replacement. you can put that bucket anywhere ya like, run a piece of .5” tubing from the vent, drill a hole to match the tube and run the tubing into the cab stuffed in a 1L bottle of water.
My yeast is always too happy and blows through the air locks, so remote blow offs tend to work better.

I did a search and I could only find one thread about using yeast as a CO2 generator.
It looks like I should be feeding all my buckets of wine into the grow room.
I've got some numbers to work with now.
I use 5 kg of sugar in each bucket and it takes about 3 weeks to stop bubbling.
So that's 1.25 kg over three weeks.
(It still sounds like a lot to me ??)

Looking good!
You should be able to sex that with a hand lens. Just look for the preflower shape. Preflowers will be in the v where branches intersect. Ball for male or more pointed and elongated calyx for fem. They start off tiny and sooner than you think. May have tiny pistils you aren't seeing at a glance too.
If it was from bagseed, most bagseed is feminized by default as it results from herms.
