I'm doing a stb extract as we speak or read .lol. I have the mixture in a jar rolling it on floor with my foot .been doing this off and on for 4 hours now.how long should I do this before pulling the naptha that is a very milky white.thank you and sorry if this is redundant.
 
Not that I have any idea what I'm talking about but... either that yellow is from the naptha or perhaps it's oxidized DMT from being left open in a freezer? If it's at all like my freezer there's a decent amount of air flowing around whenever the cooling mechanism is activated, so that might be contributing to your problem. I wouldn't trust my thoughts though! Or are you covering the martini glass while it's in the freezer?
 
Lookin much better. Let it dry fully. If you want fluffy white stuff then you can do a cleaning of it. There are teks on here for that, or just ask someone.

Jayjay - there are two ways to do this. Either freeze it with a lid on it for 12 - 24 hours and then pour off the solvent and flip over the vessal and let the rest drip out and evaportate. Or the the other method is to evaporate all of the solvent. The later method can be done in a freezer or out, but the fumes can be overwelming for the house or freezer. So pourting off the solvent seems to be the most popular method.
As for oxidizing... I think that takes months for that oxidizing thing to happen. If anyone knows about that, please let us know!

Yes the martini glass is covered while in the freezer.as you can see by the pic some of the stuff that was on the bottom of the glass is darker and more oily.I took a very small piece of the darkest oily stuff and smoked it.I saw a chesire cat with a crazy spiriling eye .it was moving awy from me and gesturing me to follow.so IKnow its very potent.I can't believe how much I got from the first extraction from 112 g of mhrb.just did second extraction.keep ya posted!

I cannot thank you enough forr suggesting eye droppers.works soo good.I'm not going to try and clean the xtals .don't want to mess up a good thing.lol.thanks for responding and following up with this thread.I honestly thought by joining this site there would be more feedback.they sure do look at the posts but don't respond
 
You are welcome. I think it has to do with the time and day you post. Weekends might pick up and get more responses. People are busy working and maybe a bit drained of posting and looking. Plus maybe there are new extractions done every day with the same questions.
 
TimeCat, congrats on the first extraction success!

You can recrystallize that if you want, but if your chemicals are clean, that yellow is probably just small amounts of plant oils, n-oxide, which ime shouldnt really affect the trip. But make sure there are no solvent traces left (redissolve in non-denatured ethanol/acetone and re-evap). Recrystallize at least a small part of it and see for yourself if its worth the trouble.

Here's a thread that might be of interest:

Thank you ,I will try to dabble in a re x on the next pull that's in deep freeze now.I'm just totally in shock of how powerfull even the smallest amount is.when transfering my xtals to a suitable container there were a few crumbs on the mirror that I wiped up with my screen.my room came to life,there were a lot of hands being extended to me like they were saying here ya go .and that literally was a few crumbs.wow!
