Sure!! Just post in the extractions section!

Looking forward to it. BTW what method are you using? What chemicals? STB? Or A/B? Did you take a look in the tek wiki to see if it is already in there?

Cheers!

i use an a/b method with NaOH and naphtha that's pretty easy. i seem to find some contradictory information about ingredient ratios and pH values when it comes to extraction, so i just thought that some people may like to try what i am doing.
here's a pic of my last results, (btw it's dmt), do they look good? i can't seem to get rid of that yellow - i don't know where it's coming from.. this alkaloid isn't yellow, is it?

looking forward to sharing more

ReCrystalize cleaning will get it whiter and more pure.

Pics look good. There looks to be some goop on the top of the upper pic. Or is it something else?

I'm not a pro but it just doesn't look right to me.looks wet and sticky ~did you spread it out and let it dry after this photo? Have you tried it yet ?And hello by the way lol

looks like there is a lot of plant oils and tannins still in it. A few re-x or a defat would fix it. It would work to vape it like this but it's a little messy. it's always nice to know the product is pure, imo.

..without wanting to sound like a pedantic geek..
NO tannins should make it past the basification/NP stage..i have seen NO scientific evidence of the fabled 'plant oils' in M. hostilis..only some very trace fatty acids..
endlessness' tests of various Jungle Spice extracts showed traces NMT and ß-carboline and a few other alks..this is more likely the color..

nen888, yea you're right it could also just be some extra alkaloids. Maybe i was jumping to conclusions too fast. I would just re-x then. but it would still be interesting to see what a defat would do to the color, if it helps then that says someting.
