Welcome to the DMT-Nexus,

This is NOT the place to be looking for others to meet up with.

Everything you need to know and learn is right here, and in our Wiki [linked above]
and if you have any questions you can ask us anytime.
After reading through the wiki a bit, why not let us know what you did, and see if you can figure out where you went wrong.

Peace + Hyperspace

What went wrong?

 

[lasvegas]

In my final steps i took the top layer and put it in a glass pan to evaporate but it left alot of brown residue?? not yellow or white like the pics i saw

You pulled some of the base mixture. This can easily be fixed with recrystallization. Next time, be more meticulous with your pulls.

so is it still ok to smoke?

Definitely not. Recrystallize it. We have techniques on how to do this in the Wiki. It's really easy. Remember, health = wealth.

I usually put my solvent into an intermediate collection vessel and then decant from that a little while later, if there is anything suspended in it it will settle and decanting is easy.

Freeze precipation is a better bet for initial pulls (in my opinion). I save evaporation for later on if I want to grow prettier crystals.

Did any of the bottom layer get mixed with your solvent(top layer)?
