Got FOAM from STB straction and after cleaning. Not sure if it's spice or dirt.

I left 10g powdered mimosa hostilis rootbark in a bottle in cold water in the fridge for a week, shaken often. A layer of foam has now formed, what should i do with it(discard it?), does it contain dmt? I'm planning to separate the clear part and brew/pull the solids and boil all the liquids down to half a cup to drink it orally

Hello nexus fellas!

My issue here is pretty weird and I've checked on the FQA and didn't see anything quite similar. The reason is that after getting some pretty dirty (brownish) powder, I wanted to clean it and I mixed up with solvent again and give a shaky bath of water and sodium cabonate.

After this process the resultant was not clean enough and I decided to mix it uo with solvent again and this time, heating the solvent in order to disolve everything inside and let the dirt precipitate. I put it on the fridge to accelerate the solidification

I was specting some brownish stuff to go down, but instead after a night y saw this white thin foam floating around instead of the separated dirt. Because of the aspect, I'm asumign it's DMT.

My quiestions if any of you guys could hel or had a similar experience on cleaning.
Do you think if I figure out how to separate the foam that'd be consumable? How could I separate it from the solvent?
Do you think it got all mixed with the sodium carbonate soup or something and now I've lost it?

Any feedback would be super welcomed. Thanks a lot!!

Hey. I just got the same problem but with after a carbonate sodium cleaning some days ago and only one night in the fridge, i was trying to separate the dirt but instead of that I got some white foam... you did anything to it? Was it consumeable?

This is normal. Do not discard the foams as it is just water reacting with the plant material.

That sounds like an emulsion.In Na2Co3 washes they generally appear when the water temp does not match the solvent temp.I wrote you another advice in a previous post you had..Add salt to the water layer,warm up the mix,wait for separation...et voila!

Warming the water/solvent mix is best to be done in a double bath style.Leave you solution containing vessel in there until the water reaches RT and replace with warmer water when/if needed.If you will be patient this should work out just fine.

Thanks man!! I just put salt and let's see if it works heating it up all together. If not I've been reading some cleaning teks using acrivated charcoals and that looks it could work if i have it all mixed up.

Yes, salt is qnown to be a very good anti caking agent. You might also saturate a minimal amount of hot water with salt and add that to your mix.Stir again to homogenise and proceed to the warming up part.

This would work for solvents only also ones loaded with alks. It is a good way of cleaning up if done correct but it can not involve water.
