Research Acacia floribunda - Workspace and information

Research done by (or for) the DMT-Nexus community
Migrated topic.
I'm excited to share my latest floribunda test .. for a couple reasons. The first being, that the yield was by far the highest and seemingly cleanest I've found in the phyllode .. at 0.67% (1.02g from 152g phyllode), the second being that it was from a smaller, more prostrate and foliage abundant variety. If this is a form thing, then this could possibly be a very good variety to cultivate as it has an abundance of foliage that if consistent will be a very sustainable source in the garden which can live a long healthy life. Although more tests need to be done.

Bioassay last night very successful :)

Impressive yield! Really nice looking prostrate tree, exceptional research bro. You must be getting your extraction tek super dialled in and efficient by now too. I’ve got my eyes on a couple of unique specimens that need testing, they should go to seed real soon.

Thanks, @CheeseCat ! I have been doing a bit of tinkering with different approaches.. fairly standard A/B works pretty well with floribunda - but extra cleaning steps during the acidic phase helps in cleaning up the extract. Backsalting the alkaloids from solvent into dilute acid, re-basifying/extracting with fresh solvent, has given me the cleanest extract so far. That or a very thorough defat as I did with the above phyllode test. But I think the double A/B result is cleaner - you just need to be thorough in making sure your getting all of your alkaloids out of the solvent.

Below some pretty floribunda crystal formations. Unfortunately they didn't solidify and remained a clear oil - but still the cleanest extract I've had from the species. Effects are stunning at higher doses.. but then DMT is always pretty stunning.

Interestingly there is something in the extracts that is not soluble in cool-ish DCM when trying to redissolve. It leaves behind an off white waxy looking substance. I can only get it to dissolve with warm solvent. DMT is very soluble in room temperature DCM so my guess is that cooled extraction from the basic solution may help omit whatever compound that might be. That is, whether it even need be removed.

Interesting, so do you prefer DCM to Toluene?

I was thinking of giving DCM a go. Is it a standard A/B tek still or are there changes? From memory DCM doesn't sit on top of the basic solution
 
I prefer DCM to anything else I’ve tried thus far. Toluene takes a lifetime to evap.. DCM disappears before your eyes. And it pulls more! It can have it’s own issues .. but I will go into those after I finish work.
