So i recently bought a 5 bag 5 gallon kit and i have been having great fun with them. A decent amount of growers around my parts and they just call me when there crop is done i show up for there waste and do a bubble run and split it with them.
I do however have a few questions, For one How long do i need to stir it? I mix it in a 5 gallon bucket without the bags cause i'm scared to hurt them, I use a paint mixer padel on an electric drill, Then i just pour it all into another bucket with the bags, mix it gently by hand for a second and then leave it to sit for 30 minutes. I had been doing it for about 10-15 minutes but i am coming up with a less then ideal product, The 20 & 45 micron bags produce a decent but dark colored product, but the 75 is hard and not soft and pliable like the other 2 grades. And there all quite dark in color.
Secondly i have been doing 2 runs for each batch and have on the occasion of a very large batch done a third, Should i be doing more?
Also i understand that fresh trim gives the best quality but more often then not i don't have that option since its not my stuff and it's usually already dry before i get there, So i was wondering if it would be beneficial to just let the leaves soak awhile to soften back up before i start mixing them?
Do i really need to let them sit for 30 minutes before i start to pull the bags? Often i am working at somebody elses house and anything i can do to get out faster would be better as long as we get the same yeild
Often when i'm done i have noticed a particulate matter in the water that i was using, these particles must be smaller then the the 25 bag since they seem to have passed through and not been caught, What are they and should i just dump the water back through the 25 bag and try to collect them?
I have noticed that alot of people like to sit it out and let it dry naturally, I press the water out of mine with my fingers right away so we can split it up. Would i have better product if i let it dry naturally?
Thanks for taking the time to read all my questions, +rep for answering them. Thanks Again
