yes sir!

the temp is going up and down between 65 and 76 at night, i know a flux of 10 up or down is ok but is it cool to be 70+ at night?

her soil got dry so i just gave ger a misting and im going to water tomorrow.

she is now 9 days old.

first, at 9 days old, your seedlings need almost no light, when they do want more light, useing cool lights (5000Kelvin to 6500Kelvin) is best for vegging (you'll want SOME warm light {1900Kelvin to 3000Kelvin}, maybe a 4 to 1 ratio, watt for watt). when they're ready for flowering you'll want to go in the other direction with mostly warm (red) lights, about a 3 to 1 ratio (cool, or blue produces less intense light).
second, and don't take this the wrong way but, vacuum that rug man, carpets are a great place for mold spores and who knows what else.
third, take a look at some of the Rubbermaid grow threads and you'll see, you're gonna need more space, those kitty-litter tubs actually work pretty well for a single-plant DWC.
here's some pics from some other threads to inspire ya, and all credit goes to the original posters, these aren't from me. the link to MY pics is in my signature

bozo,
peace, love, dope

what is the earliest you can get a plant to show sex?

After about 6 or 8 nodes you can usually presex, depending on variety and conditions. Search presex for better info, but I've done it and it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. At each node there will be a little ball, gently peel off the out layer with a tweezers and look at what's inside with a magnifying glass. If there are hairs then she's a lady, if there are balls he's a male. Of course at any time you can also switch to flower mode, or even make one branch switch by covering it or the rest of the plant with a lightproof bag, and giving the branch it's own light schedule. Within a week or two of doing so, gender will become very apparent. Then you can dump the males and revert the females back to veg or continue to flower them.

I save the good cat litter containers and use them for all sorts of stuff. I think they hold 4 gallons, and they work very well for a DWC set up for an individual plant.

Temperatures in the 70s at night are fine. You don't need a temperature fluctuation, it's just OK to have one.

Be careful, if the soil dries out she should probably watered, not misted.

Bozo is right about the colors of light. The best is 5700K for vegging and 2500K for budding, but you probably will have to settle for 2700K. It's best if you can have a mix of about 85% blue and 15% red for vegging and the opposite for budding. Blue promotes bushiness, but you can still get pretty good results with all 2700K, the most common and least expensive CFL.

thats right repotting time!

my plant has a strong enough root to have broken through my litte bio-degradeable pots so im going to move up to a half gallon pot.

[marijuanavillebilly]

I GOT PRE-FLOWERS!!!

10 days old and she has pre-flowers!!!
fingers crossed that she is a she, but i think she is cuz the leaves glitter and glisten!
males dont produce very much D9-THC right?

[marijuanavillebilly]

the plant is calling for a repot soon.

should i cut off the old pot and only leave the parts around where the roots broke through, or just dump her direcly into a new pot?

[Opie Yutts]

If by biodegradable you mean that you're supposed to be able and just put the whole pot in the ground, then you don't need to take the roots out. Otherwise take the root ball out and rough up the outside roots a little before repotting.

[marijuanavillebilly]

Well, I'm pretty damn sure it is a indica dominant.

here are some of my shitty photos.
