Earthwalker's 100g tek question.

[GoldJesusFeet]

Friend just finished the tek for my first time and was curious as to weather or not this looks normal.

3 pulls/50g Instead of 100

Really. I always filter my sediment meticulously. Is this a waste of time. I let it sit in the fridge for a day and let it all fall to the bottom. And then recook my leftovers. That last dish u saw from me was actually a recook

Not sure mate. Maybe experiment without it and let us know.
I personally don't bother removing it and just work with it.

Don't get me wrong, you will certainly end up with bark in your pre-cleanup pulls if you start with finely powdered bark. The initial solvent pulls can sometimes have a purple tint. However, I leave those in a separate beaker in a heat bath for 30 odd minutes and all the junk/bark falls out to the bottom. Then I'll decant that into the A/B cleanup.

The mini A/B removes the rest of the junk and a re-x seals the deal if you are worried further. I don't see too many impurities in a re-x to the point that I'd be satisfied not even bothering.

Hi everyone. Noob question. I've had my DMT floating around in my jar now for a few days & it's not milky anymore. I wanted to know if the yield gets affected in any way depending on how long you have it floating around? I ordered some Naphtha online & it might get here today or next week that's why.

 

[DansMaTete]

It will be there next week, don't worry.

Don't be disappointed if what's floating on top is fats even after the mini a/b.

 

[MrHonekyDonkey]

It doesn't look like plant fats. The white layer looks like little white flakes. I might get my naphtha today so I can finally extract the floating white flakes. Hopefully it is what I think it is. One last question, should I add a little bit more lye so it can turn milky again?

 

[Spaced Out 2]

I get them flakes too. And most the time it's fat and what not. If your ph is where it needs to be then then there's no need to waste more lye. When you get the solvent do make sure it's hot before putting it in the jar. :thumb_up:

 

[MrHonekyDonkey]

Alright will do. I just got the naphtha this morning so I'm going to start heating it up as we speak.

Cool, let us know the outcome, good luck.

It's some kind of other by product, definitely not DMT. I got the same thing in an extraction a little while ago when I left my base in the cleanup phase for a few hours. Got some out on a little spatula and dried it. Didn't smell like DMT and burned when heated with a torch.

It does break back up when you put the aqueous solution back in a heat bath and agitate it though. I was thinking maybe It was Salt (NaCl)? I wasn't keen enough to taste test it for obvious reasons.

Good luck with the rest of the extraction HonkeyDonkey, I think you'll be proud of this one.

 

[MrHonekyDonkey]

Okay guys, so I just took it out from the freeze precipitation and letting it dry using a fan (I also have my windows open). This is what they look like so far

Now scrape them up and enjoy:thumb_up:

 

[MrHonekyDonkey]

This is all I got after I was done scraping. I don't have a scale that measures in mg so I weighed it in grams & it all of it weighed 0.00g. Should I go ahead and try it anyways? Or should I weight it under a different unit? My scale can measure grams (g), carrots (ct), penny weight (dwt), & grain (gn)

I'm really surprised that's all you got? Might be time to start working with some new bark.
Try a grain measurement dependent on the resolution of your scales.

1 grain = 64.79891 milligrams. Measurement generally used to load firearm cartridges.

 

[MrHonekyDonkey]

I think my poudered bark isn't high quality, but it's all I can get my hands on since I don't know where else to get it. As for the weight, I'll weight it later on today

 

[Spaced Out 2]

That's why I mentioned not to be disappointed when all that stuff you seen floating turned out not to be dmt. Dmt should stay in solution until there's something for it to migrate to (solvent). How much bark was used?

Hello friends,

I did almost 10 extractions from ACRB, all of the same source. Today I took 3 pulls with fresh naphta from a already pulled ARCB-mix for the mini A/B clean up, nothing special, but this is the first time the naphta appears yellow in the acidic phase. What happend there? Anything to worry about?

love, tseuq

My naphtha always goes yellow. without heat it doesn't happen but it is perfectly fine.

If you finish the mini a/b it may still come out yellow but a sodium carbonate wash & a few careful recrystallizations should get rid of most of the yellow.
Yellow crystals are perfectly fine to smoke though :thumb_up:

Is it ok to use this yellow naptha for future extraction's on base soup? I have quite a bit it sitting around in jar, would be nice to re-use it.

 

[Spaced Out 2]

It can be reused many times, use fresh solvent after mini a/b.
