Some pretty wild pics there, Jef! The xtals look like they are protruding from the the ground of some alien world! Neat-o, never seen that, must be some pretty saturated stuff.
As for the green pulls-:!: Is that not a sign of rust-inhibitors or other chemical impurities that can migrate to your spice? Please be careful, read the MSDS of your solvent and all that good stuff before you partake-and especially before you share!

Is the DMT green? I don't have the best eyesight so it is hard to tell from the pictures. Either way, green spice is a no go and I can't imagine green solvent pulls being a good thing either, but I'm not an expert on chemicals. As Null mentioned, be sure to check out that MSDS if you haven't already. Be safe:

The green is suspected to be merely Chlorophyll (the ground phylodes were similar bright green). [Edited] closer to a yellow-green and the resulting spice on the edge of the plate is white with the stuff in the centre a light beige colour (although this initially appeared grey until all solvent was evaporated).
Using the same Shellite as always, it evaporates cleanly on the plate (though purchased from a different outlet)...and bioassay on the end result is ALWAYS done before sharing with anyone else. Do the remaining pulls with Xylene just to check the difference with mini A/B to clean up.
This particular Acacia is pretty alkaloid rich as it is- so that level saturation is expected, but to see the crystals form like that is exciting as ! It seems the length of time sitting was what aided this strange, otherworldly appearing formation.

Hey guys. Trying to get lucky here... I'm doing the extraction tek below and have ever item except I'm using citric acid instead of white vinegar.
I do not have a ph meter or ph strips, does anyone have an idea how much I should use to get it down to 2-4 ph?
Max ion says a minimal amount in 50 ml filtered water. I'm guessing maybe 5g?

If I remember correctly I used - 1 acid / 5 water - concentration. My ph meter isn't very precise(only has 4-8 scale), so when the solution got red(ph 4) I added few grams more just in case.KosyPanda said:
Definitely, measurements weren't accurate but got 1.8% from 20gr mhrb(~0.5% more than I got with stb from same bark) so I think it worked fine.

Quick question guys, I've been taking my time with this extraction and had my naphtha sitting in the base soup ready to pull for several days now. I shook occasionally but upon shaking one time it separated looking rather murky. Did i mess something up and is it salvageable?
Attachments
probably plant powder got stuck in the naphtha somehow..
you need to do a mini AB; pull the naphtha, salt the dmt out with vinegar and water, base and pull again

Can I leave my freebase DMT suspended in iso or IPA for storage?
You see it melts here with the high humidity, it'd just be very convenient.

I dont see why not. I usualstore my dmt in the fridge. Any excess dmt i turn to fumarates but but an AB FASA tek is my tek of choice plus i do alot of pharma.

It's still susceptible to degradation. Best bet is to make a salt, either solution or solid salt. Or smoalk it all before it goes off.

^Even 10° benefits the temperature/solubility curve, see what I'm sayin'?

Hi I'm about to finish my first DMT straight to base extraction, I have some powdery crystals on a dish to dry out and the solvent in a measuring cup to evaporate. I tried heating the solvent placing it in a pan with the bottom filled with hot water but it doesn't seem to speed up the process. it's been there for almost 24 hours and the level has gone down about 10ml ... i was doing an evap test of the solvent as well and placed a few days ago a bit of solvent in a normal glass and it still hasn't evaporated all.
So, how long does it normally take to evaporate?

you want to put your solvent on a plate or baking dish...more surface area for evaporation.
Have you tried placing a cool fan over it...this can speed the process up to only a few hours for 10-15 ml of Shellite in a fat dish as opposed to 12-24 hrs without
