No crystallization from Noman's Tek

Hello Yall,

So, I've run into quite the dilemma regarding Noman's Tek, which was expected as it is my first time making Spice. I followed everything step by step, and i am currently at the Freezer stage. After 3 hours, i went to check (8:00 Pm) and saw no crystals, so i left my one Naptha collection jar in the freezer over night, and when i checked it in the morning (7:30 Am) I still had no crystals. I'll walk you through what I've done so far.

Mixed 1L Water with 66g Red Devil Lye until dissolved.
Added 66g MHRB from ForestRX through amazon.
Carefully mixed the MHRB into the Lye-water mixture.
Added ~66ml Naphtha
Violently agitated three times, allowing the mixture to separate before another agitation.
Pulled roughly 50-60ml of Naphtha from the mixture and placed inside a Mason Jar for storage. (a little bit of the lower layer got into the holding jar)
Stored the Mason jar in a dark area, and repeated adding the Naphtha and Agitation.
Repeated the pull with 45ml of Naphtha.
Placed in the freezer with mason lid jar on.

AS said before, Im getting absolutely no crystals, and Ive no where else to go!! I'm completely stuck right now, and have no idea what to do. I've read possibly evaporating it, but I don't want to do anything that could damage my final product!

Any help is greatly appriciated.
 
Ooo yeah you confirmed my suspicions about them. No good. Couple things, no mimosa on amazon would be hostilis after the whole Sonora thing happened. I just looked at their amazon listings. You got mimosa acasia. Which apparently is non active/: sorry for your loss man. We can't talk about suppliers here by the way but I'd suggest going to the sustainable seeds section. Look at the seeds by a supplier called gaiana. Go through the ENTIRE website and look at all the seeds. Hope I helped. Again sorry for the bunk mimosa hope your next extraction goes better!
 
Like I said. Can't talk about suppliers here. Got me banned once so let that be a lesson! Sonora song sold mimosa hostilis on amazon and got raided by the dea. After that pretty much all u.s vendors shut down

Wish I could talk about suppliers, I just completed my first successful extraction from a great supplier after many bunk MHRB from different vendors

Well the reason I went with who i did, is because of how cheap it was. that shoulda been a sign right away. was your supplier up in the 160 USD range??

Not sure if this is 'supplier' talk, but have you used that one certain supplier? It seems a little shady to me.

Sourcing talk is not allowed... Check out the ATTITUDE page so you have a better idea of what the rules are and the general attitude we try to maintain here.

Okay, how long did you let it sit in the basified solution. You have to let it sit for a long time to let the basified solution break through the cell walls. That is probably your main problem.

And what do mean by agitation?

rofl got banned once, at leaste they let you grad sapling. i also am looking for a tek and a plant to use now, any help or a direction would be nice


If you do some research around here you will get all of your answers. Again check out the ATTITUDE page and you will get a better idea of what we encourage members to do.

I would suggest MHRB and any of the a/b teks.

hostilis
