I didn't know where to publish this one, but here goes a little introduction of myself:

I'm a psychedelics lover. I experienced my first LSD trip at 17 years old, and since then I haven't stopped tripping. I made my first big mistake on LSD when I took almost 10 tabs (nine and a half), even though my maximum had only been about 3 tabs. It sent me to the hospital, with the police and everything. I cultivate my own psilocybin mushrooms, and now I'm about to attempt extracting DMT.

put together my own step-by-step doc for my setup (500 g batches, freezer path, 4 washes + water wash), pulling bits from [The Super Simple DMT Extraction Guide, Noman's tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki] and adapting it to the gear I actually have. I also built a small visual walkthrough (html, css, js) to follow in the lab so I don’t skip safety steps.

i made this one for a better way to follow steps (a least for me) what do you think ? will I get some good products ? (forget the 1kg batch ) - made with AI

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DMT — MAX YIELD
2 days · freezer · 4 washes · water wash · 500 g/batch
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

CONCEPT
Canonical method: long soak + 4 solvent passes + water wash
→ freezer → filter the next day.
This file = fixed numbers + troubleshooting. In the lab use the wizard.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1) NUMBERS PER BATCH
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

500 g powdered plant material
200 g NaOH
2.5 L warm water (30-40 °C)
100 ml solvent × 4 washes (400 ml total — almost half the bottle)
50-80 ml water (water wash at the end)

1 kg plan: 2 batches × 500 g — same recipe.

Approximate times:
Day 1: ~2-3 h of work
Day 2: ~30-45 min

Solvent note: listed in lista.txt as Primus Power Fuel (VM&P naphtha).

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2) SAFETY
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

✓ NaOH only in 2 L glass pitcher. Rinse the pitcher afterward.
✓ NaOH into water — never the reverse.
✓ Safety goggles + gloves + vinegar always within reach.
✓ Solvent: open ventilation; mix GENTLY — do not shake.
✓ Jar to freezer: foil on the glass mouth + plastic lid on top.
✓ Dry filter product IN OPEN AIR — NO fan overhead once dry.
✓ Weigh with a scale.
✗ No ammonia at any step.
✓ Solvent evap test once before the first batch (see §4).

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3) EQUIPMENT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

From Amazon (lista.txt):
5 L graduated bucket (Vitlab PE-HD)
2 L glass pitcher with lid (max 2 L per charge — see step 2)
NaOH 1 kg + solvent 1 L (Primus)
4 × 500 ml glass jars (1 collection, 1 recovered solvent, 2 spare)
scale + thermometer + pH strips
60 ml syringes ×5
coffee paper filter (Melitta) + funnel
safety goggles + nitrile gloves
white vinegar

From home:
plastic tray under the 5 L bucket
immersion blender
aluminum foil
Pyrex glass dish (evap test + filtering)
silicone spoon or spatula
freezer with space
dust mask (powder in step 1)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4) EVAP TEST (once only, before the first batch)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

5 ml solvent on Pyrex dish → air dry → dish clean with no greasy stain = OK.

If it leaves greasy residue → do not use that solvent lot for extraction.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
5) DAY 1 CHECKLIST
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

[ ] 500 g | 200 g NaOH | 2.5 L | 100 ml × 4 written down
[ ] Evap test done (first time)
[ ] ~400 ml fresh solvent available
[ ] Clean 500 ml jar for collection
[ ] Foil ready
[ ] Tray + 5 L bucket + 2 L pitcher
[ ] Goggles + gloves + vinegar + scale + pH
[ ] Ventilation from step 5 onward
[ ] Freezer space (jar upright, stable)

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
6) DAY 1 — PROCEDURE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

STEP 0 — Set up the bench

WHAT YOU DO:
Tray → 5 L bucket on top. Pitcher, collection jar, vinegar, scale, pH, syringes.
Goggles + gloves.

---

STEP 1 — Plant material

WHAT YOU DO:
Weigh 500 g powdered material. Pour slowly into the 5 L bucket.
Dust mask recommended.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Powder ~1/4 of the bucket volume.

DO NOT DO THIS:
Do not inhale powder.

---

STEP 2 — NaOH (2 L pitcher — 3 charges)

The pitcher holds 2 L. Do not put 2.5 L in at once.

WHAT YOU DO:
CHARGE 1 — Pitcher: 1 L water 30-40 °C + 100 g NaOH little by little → 5 L bucket
CHARGE 2 — Pitcher: 1 L water + 100 g NaOH little by little → 5 L bucket
CHARGE 3 — 0.5 L water into bucket (500 ml bottle or ~8 × 60 ml syringes)
Rinse pitcher → pour rinse into bucket
Stir 1 min. If the mix is hot, wait 1-2 min.
Measure pH: dip strip 2-3 s, compare to chart. Target: pH > 11.
If pH low → add NaOH little by little, stir, measure again.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Dark thick slurry. Total ~2.5 L.

DO NOT DO THIS:
Do not pour water onto dry NaOH in the pitcher.

---

STEP 3 — Soak (1.5 to 2 hours)

WHAT YOU DO:
Stir 1-2 min with long spoon or gloved hand.
Timer 90-120 min. Total stillness — do not touch the bucket.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Quiet slurry. More time = better extraction (max-yield advantage).

---

STEP 4 — Immersion blender

WHAT YOU DO:
~5 min low speed.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Uniform mix.

---

STEP 5 — Four solvent washes (ventilation REQUIRED)

All clear liquid goes into the SAME 500 ml jar.
Repeat 4 times:

WHAT YOU DO:
1. 100 ml solvent into 5 L bucket
2. Gentle mix ~1 min (tilt bucket, slow rotations — DO NOT shake)
Use spoon; blender OFF for this step.
3. Timer 20 min without moving
4. Syringe: clear top layer only → jar
5. If cloudy → stop, do not keep sucking mud

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Wash 1 = most abundant and clearest.
Wash 2 = less volume.
Wash 3 = small amount.
Wash 4 = very little — normal. Be conservative with the syringe.

Solvent per wash:
Batch 1: fresh solvent from bottle for all 4 (400 ml total).
Batch 2: you may reuse recovered solvent on wash 3 or 4.

DO NOT DO THIS:
Do not shake. Do not smoke. Not near open flame.

---

STEP 6 — Water wash

WHAT YOU DO:
To the jar with solvent from all 4 washes: add 50-80 ml clean water.
VERY gentle rotations. Rest 10-15 min.
Two layers: solvent on top, water on bottom.
Syringe: top solvent only → clean jar (you may empty and reuse the same jar).
Discard bottom water.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Separated layers.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG:
Milky mix that will not separate → skip water wash, go straight to freezer with what you have.

---

STEP 7 — Freezer

WHAT YOU DO:
When the jar holds all solvent (after water wash or without it):
Aluminum foil directly on the glass mouth (touching the rim).
Plastic jar lid on top of the foil.
Label: date + "batch 1" (or 2).
Freezer 8-12 h minimum. Jar upright, stable.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Yellow liquid in the jar. Next day there may be crystals or precipitate — normal.

DO NOT DO THIS:
Do not fill the jar to the rim — leave air space.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
7) DAY 2 CHECKLIST
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

[ ] Paper filter + funnel + Pyrex + spatula
[ ] Empty jar labeled "recovered solvent"
[ ] Small jar for dry product

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
8) DAY 2 — FILTER + CLEAN UP
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

STEP 8 — Filter and recover solvent

WHAT YOU DO:
Remove jar from freezer. Let sit 5 min at room temperature.
Set up paper filter + funnel over Pyrex.
Pour jar contents SLOWLY.
With spatula, scrape anything stuck in the jar → filter.
Liquid passing into Pyrex = recovered solvent → labeled jar #2.
What stays on the paper filter = product → let dry IN OPEN AIR.
When dry: spatula → small jar. Label · store cool and dark.
Used filter → trash.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE:
Filter with solid material or crystals on top.
Pyrex with yellow solvent below (= recovered for batch 2).

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG:
Little product on filter → normal in batch 1; air-dry longer.
Filter very wet → dry longer without fan overhead.

DO NOT DO THIS:
NO fan directly on dry filter — yellows the product.

---

STEP 9 — Clean up

WHAT YOU DO:
5 L bucket (mud): vinegar + plenty of water → drain.
Rinse bucket, syringes, collection jar.
Store remaining powdered material for batch 2.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
9) BATCH 2 / 1 KG PLAN
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Another 500 g. Same recipe (§1–§8).
You may reuse recovered solvent on wash 3 or 4 of batch 2.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
10) QUICK REFERENCE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

DAY 1:
500 g | 200 g NaOH | 2.5 L → soak 2 h → 5 min blender
→ 4×(100 ml solvent + gentle + 20 min + syringe → jar)
→ water wash → foil → freezer

DAY 2:
remove from freezer → filter → Pyrex (recovered solvent) → air-dry filter, no fan
→ product to jar → clean up

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
11) IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

pH < 11 after all 3 charges
→ NaOH little by little, stir 1 min, wait if hot, measure again

Hot mix when measuring pH
→ wait 1-2 min, dip strip 2-3 s, read

Water wash layers do not separate
→ skip water wash, go straight to freezer

Little product on filter (batch 1)
→ normal; air-dry longer, no fan

Filter very wet on day 2
→ more air time; do not speed up with fan

Syringe pulls mud/cloudy material during washes
→ stop that wash; do not continue; better to lose a little than contaminate the jar

Strong odor in freezer
→ foil poorly applied or jar filled to the rim; fix next batch

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SAFETY (reminder)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

✓ NaOH + solvent = work with ventilation and full PPE
✓ Vinegar neutralizes NaOH spills
✓ Evap test before the first batch
✗ No ammonia · no shaking with solvent · no fan on dry product

Edit to say: welcome to the Nexus. I hope you find your time here engaging and rewarding.

There's a few things about your tek i would advise against specifically but in general i would draw your attention to this section of the Attitude page


There's no reason at all to attempt a 500g extraction for you first run, or really ever. Unless your intent was to break the rule referenced above.
Use Cyb's Max Ion tek, run it on 50g at a time til you can do it without checking the notes, then maybe do 100g.
A successful 50g run with a decent yield will provide easily 15 full breakthrough level doses which will be plenty for you to begin your exploration of hyperspace.
 
Hi @dvn999 , welcome to the Nexus.

Besides what @redbird said, there's another issue. While LLMs can be helpful tools, they aren't reliable and so their output needs to be critically reviewed. Without having already successfully extracted and understanding the basics, you won't be able to do so. I understand you expect other people here to review it for you. Unfortunately, it's not too likely that other people will want to put more effort into reviewing something than was put into writing it.

Besides, there's no reason to use a LLM-generated tek for your first extraction (if ever). In the Wiki, you'll find several tried and true teks, like Noman's, which you seem to already be familiar with.

If what you have posted is supposed to be just a rewriting of Noman's (or another one) in a way that helps you, then fine, and it will work well as long as you follow it. If it's something else (or it was supposed to be a rewriting and the LLM modified it), it may or may not work.

In any case, in the future please avoid requesting other users to review raw LLM output, and posting it unless there is a good reason to do so. LLMs can generate an unlimited amount of text and "teks", their capacity to produce text exceeds greatly our ability (or desire) to review random samples of their output.

Thank you.
