My First DMT Extraction, 250g Acacia Acuminata (Typical Variety), S/B Room Temp. Tips for goo harvesting/storage?

[ForgingNewPaths]

Hey all,

Wanted to share my results from my first two attempts at an extraction. (One soup was 100g bark, other 150g).

I used the following Tek:
"Phoenix Academy Continuing Education The Wonderful World of NN-DMT Extraction and Making Your Own Vape Pens"

I realised my bark was harvested in winter, so there was less DMT content (bummer).

Also, initially, I attempted to scrape the yellow goo and crystals out of one dish into the small cosmetic jar, then did a hot water bath to dissolve them to be added into vape pens.

There was a few small red crystals leftover. I was surprised that they would not melt. Could these be potentially contaminants from using tap water to clean the pipette, or is it just stubborn DMT that has perhaps oxidised?

I am now left with yellow/red goo and crystals spread across a few dishes after freeze participation. (The condensation in the pictures is on the outside of the dish).

What's the best way, with the least wastage of product, to extract the goo? Should I bring the dishes out of the freezer into the fridge overnight, then leave out at room temperature to evaporate any extra solvent? (I haven't done a wash at all).

Kind regards!

Troubleshooting AARB extraction

Hello Nexus, I'm currently troubleshooting my first attempts at extraction. I'm a novice, but I can follow documented procedures methodically, so I figured an A/B extraction would be relatively straightforward. However, my two initial runs have challenged that assumption. I'm working within...

Some - hopefully relevant - acacia goo discussion here^

Thanks, I dont mind the goo tbh, as long as I can get it into a cart!

Crystals are pretty, but there still will be plenty DMT in the goo I have no doubt.

Next time you could try boiling your bark for longer without any ph adjustment, boiling with store bought spring water at around 5-6 ph should work just fine if you do it long enough, you could even try freezing and thawing the bark between boils.

If you’re going to adjust the ph, maybe don’t use vinegar and try something else.

Don’t add too much base either, especially if you didn’t ph adjust in the boil you wouldn’t need to add much at all.

Try do some solvent pulls at room temp (below 30 Celsius) then raise the temp of the vessel to about 50 Celsius, or anywhere in between, and do more pulls.

You could apply the above concepts to a mini ab on what you have for similar results perhaps.

Do you put your product into a cart because it’s goo or just cause it’s easier for people to smoke? If you ended up with crystals would you still dissolve them into a cart?

I didnt boil the bark at all actually, I followed the linked tek exactly. Straight to base.

So doing a boil would be a good step, and maybe in an acidic solution? Then freeze in between.

I put the product in a cart because it's convenient and predictable to dose, and I'm not a fan of smoking anything due to the associated carcinogens.

If i ended up with crystals I would still dissolve them anyway, crystals just are much prettier and easier to store.

Why do you recommend this?

I’ve read that using vinegar instead of something else is a factor that can cause goo but I’ve not tested this theory, removing the acid all together seems to work in the jungle and in the kitchen.

Spring water off the shelf and room temp pulls can give you fluffy white crystals from Acacia Courtii, not sure if it’s the same for Acuminata or perhaps down to the quality of the bark al together.

I’m just wondering if this method leaves other alks behind though.

I’m not able to read the tek sorry as it requires a log in, my advice is a very stripped back acid base method.

The acidity in the first step I believe is just to speed things up and also perhaps convert more than just dmt into the solution.

Heat over an extended period of time and freeze/thawing should do the trick.

If you read that post that Transform linked, scroll down to “I know nothing”’s post and that should be more suited to what you’re doing maybe.

From my experience with smoking lots of different things in lots of different ways, putting anything into a cart makes it far too accessible and easily attained.

There is a ritual and safe passage to smoking anything, when they harvest Ayahuasca in the jungle they burn tobacco leaf around it because the smoke carries your thoughts and intentions into the spirit world.

Take all this with with a grain of salt, oh Yeha also I don’t know how necessary back-salting is.
