SWIM found his card reader and his wife pictured the shit out of this extraction:
-~=List of Items SWIM used=~-
1500mL H2O
250mL Naptha
Lye[NaOH] (unknown amount, eyeballed ~100g)
100g MHRB
WEED <- (critical to production in SWIMs case)
Turkey Baster (Yes SWIM used both turkey baster and syringe, He also double sometimes triple decanted into different glasses for extra clean spice)
Syringe
3 glass jars, for decanting
2 martini glasses, for freeze precip (They are very WIDE mouthed, extremely shallow, and very easy to scrape spice out of.)
Freezer
Funnels (random sizes.. 3 dollars at publix, best thing SWIMs ever bought from them.)
Patience
-optional-
Sleep
-~=What you want to see=~-
step1
SWIM added H2O to HDPE2 jug (1500mL).
step2
SWIM added Lye(NaOH) to H2O (notice gloves!!! and please don't try to measure Lye.. just put in enough to see it turn white and cloudy *(This normally occurs when you are S t i r r i n g the lye around, it may clear up, it may not.. Mine does not)*, then shake it around gently and make sure you remove pressure otherwise it might esplode!) This process basifies the H2O, allowing the breakdown of the plants' cell walls.
----(STEP 2.5)---- Optional (many people have stated that this step is also crucial..)
Smoke joint.
HA HA SWIM did not notice til right now, but there is a shotglass SWIM uses for re-x right THERE. Its all dirty from a recent clean XP
step3
SWIM measured out MHRB. This is the part that you want your scale, the more accurate you are, the less product you waste. The FIRST extraction SWIM did, he didnt measure out carefully enough, and ended up having uneven measurements, and lots of math, and other bullshit that he didnt really need to be dealing with.
step4
And added to jug, it gets darker
and darker
and darker
and darker
step5
SWIM then shakes his jug like a morocco. then lets it sit for an hour or two. (dont have to be too accurate but make sure its over an hour, and leave it alone, you dont have to continually agitate [SWIM finds that picking it up and shaking it once or twice after the first original shake is fine, if your antsy])
step5.5
Important step as well. Do nothing but patiently wait, maybe eat dinner if its that time, watch a movie, or smoke, or play with more animals. This inevitably helps to make you a more patient person, which is essential.
step6
Take a look at your jug, and get your surplies ready.
step 6.5
Heat your naptha SAFELY IN A POT YOU HAVE BOILED WATER IN, REMOVE FROM STOVE, AND SET JUG GENTLY INSIDE AND WAIT. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU EVER HEAT NAPTHA EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO A FLAME. (SWIMs stove is all electric and he made sure that it was completely turned off, and moved from the burner!) and dont cover it! WTF YOU ARTARDED????
step7
SWIM measured out his naptha (~75mL per pull) and added to jug. then he rolled end over end 3-4 times per pull for 2 minutes and let separate. (next time he will use much less naptha..)
step7.5 (NOT OPTIONAL)
PLAY WITH KITTY AND PUPPY WHILE WAITING FOR SEPARATION. THIS IS A CRUCIAL PART.
step 8
SWIMs wife decanted naptha from jug carefully, but got a bit of black stuff, so she syringed the naptha into his mAgIcAL martini glasses.
step 9
Continue with Pulls. I usually do 2 big pulls and set a third in overnight. After thats done. You cover martini glasses in
THE GREATEST PLASTIC WRAP EVER! Make sure your glasses are "air-tight" so as not to let any cold air make condensation.
step 10
Chuck your glasses in the freezer overnight or for at least 12hr. Be patient.. your not going anywhere, and its not going to hurt.
step 11 (extremely optional)
If you got a yellow pull on one of your glasses, you can simply do a recrystallization after you have precipitated it by Freeze.. I suggest slow evapping, but something people miss is explaining a bit on how to do this.
~~~####~~~Proper Recrystallization teknique type thingamajig.. for learning and tweaking ~~~~~####~~~~~~
Take a shot glass and pour your yellow gnarly spice in, then get a measuring cup and fill it with water, put the water in the microwave for 2 minutes. So it gets hot. then get a separate jar and add some naptha to it.
Once your water is done, put the naptha jar in there and wait a minute, let it get a bit hot, and then either dropper it or gently syringe the naptha onto the spice, youll see it start mmmmmeeeeellllltttinnnnnggg!!!!
Stir it around a bit, no.. a bit more than that. A bit more. a bit....good. you should have only used about 15mL of naptha or abouts PER GRAM OF SPICE. That means if you have 100mg, you want 2mL MAXIMUM, ITTY BITTY BIT.
If your having trouble dissolving something, chances are its not spice. If it is spice, and you know its spice, then put the shot glass that now holds your heated naptha/spice in the water that you heated up.
NEVER I repeat: NEVER get that naptha near the microwave. If the water has turned cool, then heat JUST THE WATER up.
Once you are pretty sure all your spice is dissolved (making sure the other shit isnt), then you can decant the naptha into another shot glass, and put it in the fridge.
--------*****For The Slow*****---------
After you have put it in the fridge for 2 or so hours, youll see it be really cloudy with the spice that was in there. What you now want to do, to get those cool huge crystals, Is take it out of the fridge, and place the cloudy, cooled naptha in a nice place that it will sit literally still for a few days. Instead of having the thing be air tight, put a small gap in the seran/press-s-seal/aluminum foil, or put a few pin holes in the top. Then leave it alone!
come back in a few days and be like waow!

SWIM will continue posting once he gets the freeze precip results, but he had to go to sleep, and didnt want to talk to gir anymore..
I couldnt find anymore pictures that SWIM wanted to post either. these took long enough to resize to a decent size (they were all over 2500x2500 :shock: )
Okay, jbark brought to my attention I forgot to post my yeild! in total it was 1g, 754mg. ~1.7% total of ~103g MRHB
