So good news. I added the fresh ethyl acetate to the original jar and it crystallized. Same as starbob described. I am so happy. Difference between his approach and mine is that I added no crystal seeds.So what happened:-Got goo after adding citric acid.-Decanted most of the EA and added ~80ml fresh EA. Goo turns white and sticky (Elmer glue).-Let it sit for another 24h. Decant EA again and add fresh EA.-Decant EA after another 24h and let glue dry. All the 3 different EA's are combined.-Nothing happens to the glue but the combined EA starts crystallizing.This makes me wonder if I used too little EA in total. My extracts are really dark green. Difficult to see through but definitely clear. Maybe adding EA to it to make it diluted could help.I also did another try on 50g powder. No debris and clean extract, used distilled water and lab grade anhydrous citric acid, but got goo again. I exchanged the EA now and will see if I can reproduce the previously described acquired crystals.I still have some powder left and will try an extraction by using more EA to get a less dark green extract and see if I still get goo.
