The wife drug me here to SoCal, i told her, 'the garage is mine!"
I got a stellar deal in this table about 10 years ago.
The process is really easy. When you do your first run start with your least favorite plant products and no more than a 1/4 oz. the bags go into the container from smallest number to largest. The 220 bag is your work bag then the 160, 120, 73, 25. The 25 is the first bag i put in the bucket. Start with a layer of ice, then add your frozen plant material, more ice, and finish with water. Gently mix with hands using chosen utensils. Gently mix to get the best of the best only. Let sit for 30 minutes then collect. At this point you can blender the rest to get the higher yield but slightly lesser quality.
Let me know if you need clarification or reasons for why.
I know little about coco and hydro, im sure you'll do great! I've heard its more work tho. Start slow and grow from there!
