I moved the tray with smaller BMR seedlings to join the big seedlings under 300w LED. I added a flat of Bhodi Dragon Blood Hashplant seeds below the T5HO light.
I also planted the seeds removed from green peppers after making vegetable soup. the backyard container garden has 3 new candidates.

RSC Afropips Malawi Gold plants are FUNKY on stem 
rub; the funk slaps you after the tent is unzipped. I did stem rub to verify the source. The plants have received well water mixed with silica and soluble calcium after the transfer from solo cups to 1 gallon nursery pots.
The larger Malawi Gold is 9 inches from mulch layer. Here are random pictures of the larger plant.

The first Blood Dragon x Hashplant has raised its head from dirt nap. The seeds were placed directly into a flat of living soil under single T5HO on 18/6. The flat has a circular dome to match the oil pan tray: the Dollar Store has useful alternatives. The living soil is 6 years old.

I am almost out of LABS (lactic acid bacillus serum. I am preparing rice wash with a combination of Basmati rice and dry black beans. The rice was chosen because I dropped a bag on the floor; black beans used because legumes are very limited on the kidney diet.
Rice wash inoculated by resident floating organisms in the kitchen and strained into a clean jar. The rice and beans can join the compost bin. Use clean jars to mix rice wash with milk; advised ratio is 1 unit of inoculate per 10 units of milk; 1 cup inoculate and 10 cups of milk.
I fill clean jars 3/4 because a curd will form on top. Cover top of jar with coffee filter and place in dark space until the curd forms. The curds will be strained and I refrigerate my lactobacillus serum until used.
1 to 2 tablespoons of LABS per gallon of clean water is usual ratio; water plants or foliar spray. LABS prevent and treat powdered mildew; clears drains; deodorizer for pets, chicken coops; decomposes compost and can be used to mix top dressing.
I will add photos; the entire process is posted on the internet and YouTube if anyone is interested.
Carbohydrate wash, 5 clean empty half gallon Mason jars, 2 gallon whole milk, measuring cup, Mason jar bands, coffee filters:
1 cup carbohydrate wash per half gallon Mason jar:
Add 5 cups whole milk to each half gallon Mason jar. Never fill jars completely; allow space for curd to form. Use coffee filter and band to make breathable lid. Store jars on dark shelf until the curds form.
The curds are forming in the jars of carbohydrate wash and whole milk:
