Gday team, I've been doing extractions for a few months now, have ended up with white crystals from acacia acuminata root bark every time but a repeat problem I'm having is that the first run of pulls (5x50ml with xylene then 5x50ml shellite/naphtha after mini a/b) are resulting in low yields, but when i use leftover soup and solvent and do a "leftovers" mini a/b I'm ending up with more fluffy white goods. I'm wondering why my first pulls from a batch are not "saturating" as much alks as possible? I'm happy to yield more from a follow up batch but would also like to save the time, effort and extra resources required and just pull as much as possible from the first attempt. Currently doing 50g cyb salt tek, adjusted NaOH to 25g instead of 50, pull with xylene 5x50ml then mini a/b those and pull 5x50ml with shellite, single water wash then freeze precip, 2 pulls per dish. Any help is immensely appreciated
