making colorfull changa?

[Fractalus]

when swim made is own changa he dissolved spice and maoi in ethanol and throw inside his preffered plants, the final outcome will be basicly black colored herbs and it seems like the alcohol just make the herbs black
.
he saw many changas of other people that was very colorfull and didnt understand how they do it.

so how can you make your changa colorfull

Perhaps you could try using a different solvent? I don't know if that's the issue but it might be.

swim try only 2 solvents, ipa for spice and ethanol when mixed with harmalas

Yeah herbs will turn darker when infused, some herbs get darker than others.. the brightly colored changas have a bit of dry colorful herbs added at the end..

the changa he saw wasnt dark with colorful herb, it was only colorfull herbs with chunks that when you sqush it with your finger it spread apart and revealed white spice powder inside

Then most probabaly it was made with this method.. no solvent.. no darkening..

Yup, this had always been ime. If a solvent's used ime it's always turned the herbs darker. Makes sense though, you're infusing a heavily laden menstruum with alkaloids into inert plant material.

Used to add dried blue lotus after my blend was infused and set out for the days to dry. Though the blend's always remained a tiny bit sticky prior to me dashing it up with a few pinches of blue lotus for color - them blues, purples and yellows make some niice highlights
