Thanks grollum. What water to dry cactus ratio worked for you? The experimental TEK recommends 3:1, along with 1/4 part of lime (I think lime also modulates the wetness/consistency). This is simply the "standard" starting paste for the limo tek.

Regarding dissolving citric acid, I've done it many ways and they all worked - but yes sometimes transparent xtals can stick to the wall (not a big deal though as they can be recovered with water + evap). Tests included simply dumping the citric acid into the extract and letting it slowly dissolve over a day. The usual active mescaline citrate precipitated also, just took longer. Magnetic stirrer works well also.

Looking forward to any bioassay results if you want to share. Wanting one more confirmation before moving the TEK to the main WIKI.
