ILPT never follow teks exactly. HE DOESN`T NEED A TEK because he is a chemist, He need to only know the `behaviour` of desirable alkaloid like solubility in different solvents, creation of salts , melting point etc... Then he knows what he doing all the time and doesn`t need anything to follow. He also like to do many different modification because he is imensly bored when doing the same process many times.

Anyway So far he found that only 1/20 from total amount of epsom salt added would sufficiently release more limonene.

Means  10 grams of epsom salt added to mixture of 30 g flesh 7,5 g calc and 90ml water affter couple of pulls will do the trick.

For this very first time ILPT followed Ron`s measurement of `ingredients` to dot and it was TOO MUCH WATERY !

Maybe he has different flesh or calc or whatever but it was too much watery for sure.

It easy to found  the right  ammount of water.

50 g of anhydrous epsom salt can absorb roughly 50 grams of water.

Means 10 g would absorb just 10 ml  what leading to conclusion that the rigt amount of water should be 80 ml water to 30 grams of flesh and 7,5g of calcium hydroxide

Means one just need slightly less then 270 ml of water to 100g of flesh and 25 g of calc

When he started adding more epsom salt he  reached the point, where mixture of water flesh and calc get extremely viscosous and sticky like some resin which is not good as it makes extracting(acces of solvent to alkaloids) difficult.

In this point it can be only saved by adding the whole ammount of MgSo4. This solidify that watery flesh-calc mixture to sand like texture.

This mean that a lot of epsom salt is added{3 times more then weight of flesh} what raise the volume of mixture tremendously. This shouldn`t be problem when  using THP method, ILPT presume, but for  normal liquid/solid extraction is inappropriate as solid phase trapping solvent inside and have to be rinsed many times.

Only ONE EXPERIMENT was done so far.He enjoyed it very much and would experiment further
