Hi all, So a little background on my current grow, and specs that I know, and my questions and plans.

SO. Last year I got to reading here and decided to grow 6 plants in a tupperware tub in my computer desk.
3 were male and were pulled, ground and used as a m ix in the new soil. A return to earth in a sence, but anyway.
3 females grew into beauties, then 1 ws early, the other started getting bad looking after a limb hit it, the therid was killed by the frost but only a little wasys from done. I took 9 clones from the one that was killed by the frost, thats why it wasnt dont, I basicly stripped one of my femaled but didnt rip out the stem from the tub, thinking it would die, it soon was 5 times the size of the other 2. LOL I wouldnt have guessed that would happen, but i took the clones when they started flowering, then the clones went right to 12/12.
Summary: I rw 6 indoors till they were too big, I sat them outside in the fall to flower and took clones that day i sat em outside. in 3 wks, the momma to the clones was way bigger and faster glowin g.
9 tiny pot pplants now flower indoors from bagseed that are goooooooood!!! smaller than lowriders, NOT autofower but athough a small yeild Im proud!!!.

I have 4 23w cfls that are plenty, but adding 4 more in a week..
MG soil ORGANIC mixed 30% vermaculite, and my nutes are Greenlight bloom buster, 1/2 strrenght, temps at 78f* and my fans are 2 thermatake PC fans. NO PESTICIDES AT ALL ON PLANTS, but a painted on line of poison around the growbox. I have a coo2 tank and regulator with electronoc solonoid for electric on off. and time to boot....... wich leads to my ?s

If i wanted to add co2 I need to mesure the co2 level., SO what is the cheapest way of monitoring the level? and
Is using superthrive recomended? it looks like it is a decent product but will my bud benefit? thats whats really important!

heres some pics

Im aware that my 5 inch tall pot plant will barley fill a joint but!!!! i am all about minatures and small stuff, its more of a novelty and a game for me UNTILL, my next question .... which is.... based off of my plans....

Next yr, I want to grow this same plant, I dont know the breed but it was wonderfull, it came from bagseed, I have 25 seeds saved and plan to make a male and some seeds on 1 next yr. SO my ?
I want to harvest these pplants and at the same time I want to clone or put these back into veg, and ither reflower and wait till spring or veg some babys till next yr then theyll be huge for outside to grow in the si\ummer till fall, by ten theyd be MASSIVE. in 3 weeks the veging ones took over my 3 ft space, and werent streached, but full and bushy!!!.

How would I go abut re vegging these?, just cut off the bud and go to 24/0? or what?

I also, after seeding and getting some genetics to save for the future. I want to grow some small GOOD seed from a reputable breeder, what are some decent EXTREME potency strains that will do ok as indoor cfl plants with largeest yeild for size?

Thanks all, enjoy my pix.... BTW that bowl is 2.44 inches long! as a size reference!
