I was thinking the same thing. I find it confusing though that the mescaline is in the EA and not in the goo. Do you think I should add the leftover goo to another extraction attempt, try to extract any possible mescaline left by using the method you described earlier in this thread to skelly0311 or discard the goo as the mescaline crystallizes now in EA?

As said in my first post I tried this but got afraid because of the condensation that occurred. I should try again and decant directly after taking it out.

I also need to figure out why I have excess water. It is currently very hot where I am at (over 35°C/95°F during the day). I have no AC and let everything sit at the current room temperature my living room is at. I have been adding the citric acid in the evening letting it sit overnight when the temperatures drop to around 25°C/77°F. So maybe that makes the excess water go out of the EA. I also did not add huge amounts of citric acid as I was going for the slow crystallization attempt. For my next attempt I will let the extract sit in the fridge over night and add citric acid in larger amounts in the morning to see if I can avoid the goo.

I hope to learn to do the TEK properly soon! Thank you for your thoughts on my situation.
