Well now, I wouldn't want to do that now! I just want to "compare" and have some fun!good to hear! can't wait to see them!
I am utterly amazed at the low ppm's in this Undercurrent system though! That is day 20 and have not gone above 550ppm!

Thanks for rep FM. I know... it was a huge setback with the root issues, but new experiences and learning to do with the new system I am running. Got it dialed in now and it is time to watch some craziness! 
Looks like my good old g13xhaze is going to outshine most of them once again, but the new BC Roadkill strain I am running is looking very promising.(pic 2 & 6) It was much smaller than the rest due to me killing a couple when I went on vacation by accident, but it has one of the biggest stalks and is short and compact and getting covered in trichs. I can't wait to run this next round from the start! I have 2 clones of it right now vegging, and the fan leaves are much larger than my hands at ~ 1 foot tall!

Flowamasta what are ur thoughts on my lighting situation?? 4ft x 30" grow space. Just have to sour D's. Currently only two 2ft t5's 4 bulbs each. Considering 240w blackstar Led. Found one used for around $230.. Or hydro farm 420w HPS with sun tube reflector for around $135. Will still need a 6" inline fan though.. Any thoughts or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

gotta love big fan leaves!
out of those 2 choices i would easily consider the HPS. = ValueFlowamasta what are ur thoughts on my lighting situation?? 4ft x 30" grow space. Just have to sour D's.

The LED will not compare, the tech is still not par with HPS yet. get the extra 6 inch fan (good one) money well spent. especially for that small grow area. Good reflective material will make use of the HPS.If going the HPS route, does this have a built in ballast? or do you already own one....?
Thanx F.M!! yeah man i been non-stop smoking that shit! vaping, blaziin in the pipe, on top of bowls, in the cracky.....nah jk. good shit man, lovin it! even some of the bits in the full melt you'd think that might not melt, and BAAAAM! instantly bubbles, some of this has almost gone an almost clearish in colour! i've had some biiiig bubbles happening!! i've got 1.5 lb of dry fresh trim from a mate, and its all good trim, but already dried
so i don't think i'll try bubble method, last time i did it with dry i was careful but it still didn't go full melt....i may get some dry ice later today.....clean the bedroom mirror up and give that a run niiiiiiiice!!!! taking over the world with the roots slanty!! next time i think you better use a swimming poolWell, Day 21! Officially 3 weeks!
G13xHaze that is going to grow some monster buds!!!
And a closeup.....
The few burnt spots are due to a big oops a couple of weeks back when I was checking out my roots. Lifted the lid a wee bit too much right into my light!

I just can't wait to see what the final results are going to be up top with a root structure like that! 
I was a bit worried because I have always used 3" net pots and was concerned about stability. Well, that is no longer an issue, because the root structure weighs as much or more than the rest of the plant!

He is somewhat of a THC magician! That oil he makes looks pretty killer as well. I will have to give it a go sometime for sure!

my attempts at dry ice were really great also, good quality hash, even with the purest i still couldn't get even a near melting quality, but still nice and easy on the lungs...that clean bubble is the first time i've had it like that! i was just relly careful eith every process that i did, when i trimmed my plant i got rid of large fans, snipped off the tips of sugar laden leaves to only expose the resinous section, and separated my leaves that way so i was only left with crystally resinous tips and leaves. After trimming i let the pile sit for a few hours long enough for it to wilt and become soft, the i bagged it and froze it. When i did the ice/water extraction, i used a very narrow end spoon so it would mix with little aggitation, just basically bump the trichs and ice around. i made sure all the water with ice was really REALLY cold (condensation covering the outside of the buckets) then i added more ice, the trim, more ice, then iced water that i had in another bucket sitting getting ice cold. Straight after adding erb and ice, and topping up 3 inches below the top of the buckets, i only had around 1/2 lb of fresh frozen trim, so it wasn't a huge amount.....I mixed for around 5 minutes with the wooden spoon, and even though i thought to myself 'surely that can't be enough, i wasn't vicious with the mixing just mixing clockwise then anti-clockwise nice and slowly, the ice, water and erb had enough room to move about freely without being over-crowded. I let this sit for 30-40 minutes.
This was all done in 1 bucket with only the 220 micron bag. I have a separate bucket that has the in this order being the lowest first, 20, 73, 120 micron bags.
After i presume the trichs have fallen to the bottom of the ice cold buckets i lifted the 220 bag with ice/water/erb quickly out of the water like a sucking action to pull out any remaining trichs that may have been down the bottom. I then straight away pour this liquid gold straight into my bucket with the 3 bags. it goes through quite easily this way, no waiting around or having a mate hold the bags and shaking, this way it can be done gently, and everything is left to settle more gently with less transferring of buckets. when i pull my 120 bag out i don't touch this incase contaminants fall through, I do not rinse the 120 bag with the 4 bag bubble kit.
then i'm up to the 73 bag!! my favourite now!! as i pull this bag out it goes quite quickly down to the last litre or so and i can clearly see a greyish colour murkiness building up, as a carefully swirly the bag around, this becomes tricky to hold (if you've seen matt rizes tube vids, my bags cant go over the buckets like that) so i use my other now empty bucket and put the bag in this to empty remaining liquid gold
i fold the edge of the bag over the bucket so the bottom doesn't touch the bottom of the bucket. then i have my spray gun wit ice/water and i slowly swirl the bucket around to let it drain through, i only cleaned this for maybe another 5-10 minutes with the ice/water to make sure any crap falls through and only the goods is left behind. i scrape, collect and pat dry with the drying screen lightly!! then i put it in the freezer for 5 minutes pat dry again with some toilet paper on the outside of the drying screen, pop the hash out onto wax paper and voila! same again with the 20 micron bag, lower grade hash in my opinion, very dark brown pasty in colour, still nice but meh......legend
have some more pics!!! my bud is nearly dry, a few small pieces are close, and looking nice and tight

anytime F.M
man that big pile of bubble i smoked, probably shouldn't of smoked all that in 1 sesh lol! i couldn't even walk straight after that! and i rekon i might of caught a fly or 2 with my mouth wide open and eyes half closed half staring at the screen hehe I'm no expert!! but here goes my ways.....
Wow! i don't know where to start man! i got sooo many ways to my actual technique
I would personally say my 100% perlite method is easiest for me, almost foolproof.
The most important thing i would say to keep an eye on would be safety!! (electricity sockets, adapters/batteries, outlets to walls all plugged in properly and away from accidental water leak....) I secure mine with cable ties! also ideal temperature is almost key to a successful grow. Environmental factors play a HUGE role. Nutrients, have good nutes don't skimp and buy cheap shit, there's places for skimping and growing erb is not one of them if it's for good perso stash.
BUT you said important THING, so i'll say THE most important thing would be the plant/s! learn to read them, look out for health signs, and you can't learn without trying things out, especially sometimes for yourself as everyone does things differently.
Beneficial techniques for me would be my UVB lamp for trichome potency/density ie: please read back a few pages, it's all there
I use a 600 watt minimum for good penetration, and value for electricity usage. I also get really large flowers using this technique with a 600 watt light, as i scrog grow (screen of green....for newbs) and that keeps my canopy at basically 1 main level and 1 secondary level, for support and light spread, as some people forget the HPS lights don't have any good usable light penetration after 28 inches or so. so best to keep them at the optimum (while using air-cooling) within 18-8 inches this ofcourse is determined by how much wattage lights you run, and how big your plants are.
I shall include an update of grow no.5 shortly
