Thanks for this thread guys I have found reading through very helpful..

I am currently trying CIELO for the first time with 100g bridgessi (whole plant powder) and have ended up with a crystalline goo after salting, like a thick gooey oil with chunks of mescaline citrate crystals throughout the goo.

After salting and waiting 48 hours I ended up adding extra citric acid and a stir to see if that would help force any remaining mescaline to crystallize, now ~80 hours am still left with the crystalline goo layer underneath. After reading through the thread I am now assuming successful options for goo recovery are

Option 1*
Love all says ". One thing that has worked for me was to dissolve in ~100 ml of hot water, base with 10g of sodium carbonate (washing soda), pull several times with EA (verify no dropplets, rest well), and salt again with citric acid. I've done this to convert the sulfate salt to citric. This should remove whatever was in the coagulant"

Option 2*
As per Black Roses attempt

1. Decant salted EA and set aside for wash
2. Allow any remaining EA in the retrieved goo to evaporate
3. Add fresh dry EA to the dried goo (~100ml)?,stir/settle for ~24 hours, decant & repeat x3
4. let all 3 combined EA pulls sit for ~48hours+ for xtalisation
Optionally try re x opt1* on remaining goo

Can anyone see if I'm missing something or if I can do something better?
With option 2 adding fresh EA to the goo, how much fresh EA is recommended? Black rose said he used ~80ml, I may need more as I used more starting material (cactus powder)

Thanks again appreciate any help..
