First A/B Extraction

Okay so SWIM is nearly finished with his first ever A/B extraction using Q21's tek! Pull 4 and 5 are freezing right now. One concern is the yeild, SWIM used 100 grams with appropriate proportions used. Yeild as of now only seems to be approxomitly 350mg. Does this seem accurate for this tek? I thought yeild should be around 1%.

Also the spice is mostly white, however there does seem to be some brownish/amber colored specles here and there. Is that normal? SWIM remembers reading something like that somewhere and can't seem find it. Is this okay to smoke as is or should the specles be removed?

Appreciate the support and guidence fellow Nexians!
 
with using q21q21's tek 2 I've always got near the 1.5% yield, and always pure with, my guess is you just got some bark with it.
 
Maybe you have done something wrong, maybe your PH wasn't good, maybe you wasn't rather patient (when I did my first extraction, i was so impatient to have DMT that finally I had nearly nothing) or maybe your MHRB wasn't very good, there are a lot of explanation I think...
What amount of solvent have you used for each pull?
 
That happened to me my first and second try's with that tek, what fixed my problem was keeping the naphtha nice and warm for 15 minutes or so and evaporating the naphtha down at least 50% this got my yeilds to 1% with only 3 pulls
When I add the lime it takes me an hour to pour it all in then another 30-60 minutes to make sure it's all mixed

It will take a couple of tries to get your tek down correctly. Keep at it and you should be fine. As for the brown/amber specles, you mightve got bark or plant oils in your natpha when you did your pulls. This has happened to me, and yes you can smoke it. Maybe start with a small dose just to make sure youre okay with it.

Much love & Sincerity,

Thank you everyone! I will strongly consider all the suggestions everyone has post here. I will continue tweeking and mastering this tek until I achive desirable results. One aspect I neglected was Ph testing as I was so sure of the tek I didn't feel it was neccesary so I will try this with the next batch to be sure!
