Manske Question - in The Tao of Rue Extraction

[Pup Tentacle]

I am at step 6 in "The Tao of Rue Extraction".


I have added my salt (not iodized - 10g per 100ml of solution)

Now, it has only been about 14 hours, but the solution has been fully cooled for a while and I see ZERO crystal growth.

My question:

If, at the 24 hour mark, I still see no crystals should I heat, add more salt and let cool again? Is it just a matter of not having enough salt in the solution?

Thanks

Please ignore my impatience

Crystals are forming as I make pancakes...

What is the reason for doing a manske in the process if you're just making freebase?

It removes unwanted alkaloids from the final freebase product.

And let me put in a plug for the tao of rue extraction... works like a charm, just follow the directions. Also... filter filter filter

Peace

What unwanted alkaloids? I've never done a manske and use my harmalas for changa with good results. What would I gain by getting rid of those unwanted alkaloids? How would my changa improve?

P. harmala contains non-RIMA alkaloids (such as vasicine and vasicinone) that, by definition, lower the potency of your extract by weight if you don't remove them. They do have other positive properties, but are also abortifacient, and their desirability may differ from individual to individual, depending on the intentions behind their ingestion.

Here's an old thread on it, there should be others as well.

Nicely done! I need to try this when I order some rue.
