a possible alternative to cleaning after freeze precip: adding another pull?

[temeculove420]

Hey everybody, just wanted to pitch this and see if it would be feasible idea. I've been using Noman's tek the last few weeks, and have been getting excellent results. My first batch ever yielded nearly 1%, which I would call a success for never having done it before. My last two batches have been even better, pulling nearly 2% from a 150mg batch!

I'm working another batch(100g MHRB) now, splitting three initial pulls(100ml/each) across seven 4oz mason jars(43ml per jar). I put the non polar solvent seps in the freezer for 2 days before separating & discarding the excess naphtha. I have let the crystals set in the freezer for the last few days, and have been turning a forth 100ml pull in the mean time, agitating it once or twice a day for about 4 days.

Could I split this fourth and final 100ml naphtha pull into seven 14ml pulls and add them to the crystals & recommence the freeze-precip, or will doing so crash my beautifully formed crystals? Or should I just add this 100ml final pull to its own freeze vessel and do a normal pull/clean freeze precip?

Your pretty crystals will just have some slightly yellower crystals formed on top of them.

Why have you separated it into 7 jars instead of just freezing in one jar to begin with?

So I wont LOSE any crystals if I do this?

For categorial purposes. It allows me to see the difference in yield between the earlier pulls and the later pulls.

How do you think you COULD lose crystals from this? If the solvent is reaching its lowest solubility point and dropping out the spice that no longer fits then it is impossible for the solvent to take any of the crystals away.

That doesnt make sense to do it for categorical purposes since you separated the same pull into several different containers. Ya? And in reference to the first question, that is the opposite of what you're doing.

I dont really see the need to separate them though, you know? Most people combine the first 3 pulls or so because that's where the bulk of there yield is. They might separate out the later ones though for the purpose of seeing if the bark is cashed or not. But its all up to you really. I honestly just think its best to combine all pulls, so that you can clean all pulls together. But then again... I understand the NEED to KNOW how much each pull is and how clean they are. lol

EDIT: You should put each 100 ml pull into a separate 4oz jar if youre trying to do it for categorical purposes.
