Need some advice white widow not doing well

ok so i have a 1 1/2 month old white widow plant ive been growing in my small cabinet. i waited way to long to flower and im pretty sure there isnt enough space. so ive been pondering the idea of moving outside. it is small, right now its in a 1 gal container under a 92w cfl fixture. my plan is to transplant it to a 2 gal and move it outdoors in my backyard. would this be a good move?

my main concern is bugs/pests and mold. i have a small pop-up greenhouse by flowerhouse but the plants ive grown in there developed mold spots on the leaves. i would like to use the green house if i move the widow outdoors. i have a small 6" personal fan i could put in there but should i have it blowing are in or blowing air out?

and for pest control would a army of lady bugs work? theres a bug net on the greenhouse so i could seal the flooring with a rock floor and release them with in the tent.

its also showing signs of nitrogen problems. the lower leaves are turning yellow. i just feed it 1/2 strength grow big and 1/2 strength big bloom by FF and im using FF ocean forest soil mixed with perlite. after feeding i havent noticed much change in fact it almost seems like its getting worse.

thanks for any help or input

Post in the Infirmary for problem solving and you will have better luck. Re-pot, dont feed for a while, harden off gradually moving to full sun after a couple days outside and she will most likely do the rest for you. Dont kill her in a small poly oven please. Good luck with everything.NS

The best solution against mold outside I've found so far has been to flower under a roof but without sides. I do a few small plants every year like that under the roof overhang on the southern side of my house and I always get indoor quality buds. A greenhouse gets too humid.

i thought about building a bug screen house i already have a wooden frame for a box i was building, with a peice of plexiglass and bug netting on the sides it would make a sweet breeze house
