Update: waiting worked, xtals formed in the jars. Snowglobe party for sure. This was my first tek and despite initial troubles I got amazing results and learned a lot. Thank you to all that helped develop it, especially you loveall.

Still curious what to do with the dried goo, which is orange when dried and more rocky and less xtaline then what came from the collection jars. I tried washing it in fresh EA but that didn't do it. I am thinking about adding 5/10 ml of hot water, mixing with 500 ml of fresh EA, fridge resting, decanting, filtering, and then leaving for 3 days? Think that will do it? Or do you think I will need to rebase it first? Or add fresh citric after decant?
Can this be done without the addition of water? It makes me nervous to add even 5/10ml since water may have been the culprit in creating the goo in the first place.

It seems the goo formed the way it did instead of xtalizing was because of plant fats, chlorofill, or machine oil residues from new equipment that I cleaned with water but maybe should have cleaned with ISO or something before first use. When mixed with citric and water this made the goo. That's my theory at least based on this process, but from reading the main TEK thread and related comments it definitely seems like excess water slipping through the decant step is chiefly to blame. Interested to see how that understanding develops as more people try the TEK and more data is compiled.

Overall, it really was easy and straight forward, and just takes patience and care. ANyone sitting on the sidelines intimidated, if you are called to it, just try it! It's simpler than it sounds.

Feels a lot like alchemy, and I look forward to seeing how the end product influences my spiritual work and personal evolution. The goal here was to understand the chemical process of these plants and their alkaloids, ultimately to aid in meditation and attainment of deeper spiritual understanding of our reality and my place in it. May I have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, and may it be so.

Thanks again to all that contributed here and to the development of the tek.
