mimsoa extract too condensed?

[LemonScented]

1lbs of purple pink was extracted into around 3400ml, after swim added around 400grams of NaOH the solution turned black but also quite think. solvents seperate but it is hard to tell since the black solution coats the jar. when the solvent is pulled out it is very yellow, like vitamin B12 urine. when swim freezes it doesn't it yield a lot of xtals. the xtals are much more like a powder. how do you suppose i can dilute the soltion/ and or make it not so thick? swim was thinking about splitting the solution in half adding 1800ml distilled water, perhaps add a little lye (like 30-60gram). do you suppose this would work? any suggestions?

anybody have any ideas? swim has been gone for a week. decided to go ahead and diluting the solution and adding much more NaOH. It seems a little better now but he has yet to attempted a new extraction.

the spice he extracted from the thicker solution was very strange. very gooey and looked a lot like jungle spice. after swim washed it in ammonia it turned a yellow color. after storing it for about a day it turned gray.

smoking it was similar to jungle spice however, still akin to dmt. normal length trips (unlike jungle spice which swim feels lasts a little longer) perhaps swim's product was a combination of the two... the effects were very frightening. like swim said, it felt like dmt but very different, almost wrong... definately guilt-ridden experiences. the trips have felt evil and have left him feeling very uneasy afterwards... imagery/visualizations have all been centered around deformity and menacing looking dark forms. does this sound like red spice to swiy?

STB?
If so, yes one needs more water.
My friend has found that yellow naptha doesn't precip well - too much gunk prohibiting crystal formation? He thinks it's just dependant on what's in the bark in the first place though STBs seem to excaberate the problem.
And yes the yellower spices are more similar to jungle than water clear shards, especially when they're oily, and seem more prone to scary trips.

someone i dont know never felt any of these dark feelings when smoking red spice as opposed to white spice. i don't see it at all being more prone to dark trips. but thats just some guy dont rreally knows observation.

but concerning your dilution question. add more water and a small amount of lye to keep the pH up. that should work get more of a solution rather then mud hehe.

the problem you guys are getting when using naptha is that you are dissolve numerous other impurities that are less present in a A/B. however to get around this just evaporate off your naptha. you will be left with your crystals + gunk. dissolve it in a small amount of acidic water just enough to dissolve it. separate your water solution from and left over gunk that did not dissolve. re-basify and extract again with a non polar solvent. or if you have access to a cleaner more pure solvent like hexane use that to recrystallize your stuff after evaporating naptha.
