Crystals vanishing

Hello,
I just extracted dmt crystals using Minty love's dptek1 yesterday and stored them in 2 mini glass jars of jam of 50g. One was for the more white crystals and the other for yellower crystals. But today I opened both jars to check on them and the white crystals have totally disappeared and have been replaced by a transparent and sticky goo while the yellow crystals are still a bit visible but very wet and also covered in goo. The temperature in the room was about 30 degrees celcius all day long. I wonder why this storage method was inapropriate and if its possible to turn the goo back into crystals ?
 
Quick question: Do you plan to use lye, or sodium carbonate? Calculations with the latter may need to take its hydration level into account, unless you use anhydrous material.
I plan on using lye, as its the only I have already at home. It is crystals so isnt the hydration level so low we can ignore it ?

If stored correctly - mostly. Lye is hygroscopic to the point of deliquescence if the humidity levels are sufficient, so it's probably worth including a bit extra to account for incidental absorption of both water and carbon dioxide.
