Sooo happy right now
after some fuck ups along the way I finally extracted my first mescaline sulphate ever! Thank you dg for your awesome tek!
from 815g dried material, complete pedro with core and spines and all, from my garden, I yielded 5,8g of what seems to be some very clean crystals. Not too bad me thinks.
I probably lost some yield since I had to re a/b half of of the xylene pull (I split the xylene in half after the pull, unfortunately I overshot the first salting to ph 3, so I had to restart that)
I did not combine the saltings as I was curious to see how my mistake would effect the final outcome.
Now if you check the attached pics you will see a clear difference in appearance. One half is very fluffy, with the typical long needles, and the other half is more dense but also very shiny, it looks more like the pics Benz posted in the 'simple titration tek'. Both are tasting very bitter, with no salty taste whatsoever. How could this be explained ?
My theory is that the denser looking pile was more compressed during filtering, and it also took a longer time to filter, because there was simply more mescaline to be filtered, in less solution (this part was reduced more before adding the acetone)
I just hope that it is as pure as the fluffy looking pile...
Thanks again to all the nexins who shared their knowledge, I couldn't have done it whitout y'all
