3rd time using Norman’s tek; still only getting .5% yield..

[PsilocinPsychosis]

SWIM has tried multiple times with some great other not so great results so I’m wondering if someone could give me some tips that helped them out through their journey. SWIM FollowS it to a t-first time contaminated with lye but re-x’d and was okay. Swim plans on using 350 shredded, powdering with an expensive blender, using warm rondonsol patroleum distillate for pulls (can’t get VM+P),

What ratio (water/lye/naphtha) should swim use for 350 - 300 powdered mhrb? If SWIM just not looking hard enough I’m truly sorry, I’ve tried three times and seem to keep letting SWIM down.


I have vinyl gloves, safety goggles, 4 wide mouth 8 oz jelly jars, SWIM knowS the whole deal I just wonder maybe my PH levels could be off. Unsure if SWIM should use more or less lye, and just the best way to go about it. 50g at a time? 100? 350 is a weird number to work with lol. Temp too of water/naphtha. Thanks guys love you all so much for everything you do for this world and community. You’re making people like SWIM who wanted to die 6 months ago feel more balanced completely mentally and physically.

Much much love.

Maybe best moved to other thread. Didn’t see sticky thread, apologies

Just a little advice. If you actually want people to help you stop saying swim. You just need to follow the tek and not worry about the heat. There's bunk bark out there. Sometimes you're going to get 2% and other times nothing at all. Are you sure you cant get naphtha or are you just not trying hard enough? Even if you had to drive a few hours to pick some up wouldnt it be worth it? First I would try different bark and if that doesn't work try a different solvent. You need to do more research before you try this again..Best of luck..

Same tek with 1.5%

Follow tek pretty close. 100g bark, 50ml V&P, pulled 30 off and freeze precipitate
