Ah, I hadn't thought of the color combo, makes sense. That supports the possibility that baking soda in water at room temp may not be strong enough to elute psilocin out of the resin I'm using (if binded to it).

I've looked into innert atmospheres, they are a bit tricky to set up. Vacuum evap is easy though. It can also also be put in a small freezer. So, for a couple hundred bucks freeze drying should be possible. I got a list of hardware ready to order if needed. If we get a positive bioassay coming out of the ion resin and we can't crystallize it, I will pull the trigger on the freeze drying setup to see what happens.
