thanks for all the help

, i just ordered the 1 Gallon, 7 Bag set

, i was gonna go for the 5 gallon but with the 1 gallon i'll be able to try it quite a few times with smaller amounts to help me get used to using them, can't wait to givwe them a go

, do you guys use a wooden spoon or an electric mixer?

For the amount of plants you'll be processing the 1 gal set is ideal

. I used to pull a 1/8 a run with my old 1 gal set using Black Domina material.
Each batch of material you process do it twice, once with a large wooden spoon or broom handle, once with the electric whisk. Broom handle is better coz it goes deeper.
Get your water ice cold 1st before you start, even if it means letting most of a bag of ice melt in your bucket of water before you begin. Use lots of ice. Each run stir for 10 mins, let it settle 1/2 hr..do this twice (using broom handle) then lift....replace bags and repeat the process twice again using the mixer. If you do it properly you'll have got all the trichs.
Happy Bubbling!
