Bubble bag question

I have a 5 gallon 5-bag set of bubble bags:
220
160
90
73
25

I have tried using them twice now, with 2-3 ounces of good trim and popcorn bud (no fan leaves or anything with little to no trichs).

Not sure if I am doing it right, but I think so. I put the bags in, 25 first followed by each larger mesh. Add ice and ice water, stir for 25 min, let settle. Ok, so I end up with a little hash in each bag, that's cool. But that last bag, the 25 micron. Both times I have ended up with like a gallon of green water in that and it hardly drains at all. Am I supposed to try and squeeze it through or just let it drip for a week or what?

As far as I understand, just squeeze that water out, like with the other bags. The water should basically be useless chlorophyl/plant grime after that last bag. As I understand as well, the last bag is GOOD hash, but not GREAT bubble hash as it is mostly broken trichomes that have made their way to the last bag. The + - 70 micron bag is considered the best full melt product.

I just shake the hell out of the 25 micron bag this usually makes the water drain. If you squeeze the bag you can potentially force some of the trichomes through the screen.
