crystal formation

I'm not the greatest expert, but if that would show up in my jars after an extraction, I would be happy, scrape it out of the jar, let it dry, and then after a while smoke it!

I've done several extractions, and this is normally what I would hope the result to be like. If you're looking for big crystals, I've read on this forum that they form only when the cooling process (towards the -21 C) takes place over a longer period of time. So that would happen if you did not just put it in the freezer, but put it in cooling, and then made that colder, and then put it in freezer, and made it freeze colder and colder.

I hope it's clear what I'm trying to say. I do think you've succesfully extracted DMT, and wish you happy travelling on it .

Thank you friend! Your advice gives me great confidence! I am content with what I have, but I will try the very slow cooling process on my next pull to see how that works out.

looks like dmt to me

There's DMT in them thar hills, nicely done. I dry my jars by keeping a fan on low, blowing over the jar, not into the jar. A few hours later, you simply scrape up the crystals with whatever tool works. You can find a good one if you look around your house. I use a clay sculpting tool that works great, it has a curved blade the gets those hard to reach corners quite nicely.

Just make sure there is no solvent smell whatsoever prior to smoking. I like to keep the freshly dried crystals in a sealed jar for a few hours, open and sniff for solvent, evaporate as needed. But they dry pretty darn fast.

Very nice work, nice and white.

How much did you extract in the end?

Or rather, what did you start off with, 100g's?

The smell should be very distinct too - does it smell like new sneakers / mothballs?

 

[Tranzcentral]

I don't get any new sneaker smell from my DMT...maybe my nose is broken.:lol:

 

[HumbleTraveler]

The gum sole sneaker smell is the nuttiest thing ever. Beautiful pic Utah!

Do you think this procedure you mentioned will yield any more from a fixed amount of bark?
You are saying its better to put the extracted mix into the fridge first (how long) and then into the freezer?
I am about to embark on my first extraction

Its a good way to develop larger crystals by having them in the fridge first, say around half a day, etc, then put them in the freezer on the highest setting for 18-24hrs.
