Thanks.Congrats you got a yield of 1 percent, which is very average.now go and enjoy the fruits of your labor
The tek mentioned a 2% yield, so I got worried
Anyway, how can I improve my future yields?
You probably can’t, I mean if the third and fourth pull combined only resulted in 50 mg you’re pretty sure you’re not getting much more. The one variable that might still have some influence is how fine you powder the mhrb.Thanks.

Ok thanks.
I am shredding it using an electronic coffee grinder. The result is fine dust with some little fibers.
I thought that maybe my solvent isn't good enough.
But thanks for the info! At least I'll know what to expect on the next extraction.
Btw, this thread is gold
2% is often an upper limit. Variables that will impact this aside from the extraction process are going to be the health of the mimosa the root bark was harvested from, time of year it was harvested, and storage after harvesting.Thanks.

The following photos show two different results from same extraction - STB MHRB extraction. The difference in work steps was only the recrystall step. After water washing and freeze-precipitation I recrystallized half of the product with 100/140°C the other half with 40/65°C NPS
Final product #1 The petroleum ether 100/140 charged / used in the extraction bofre yielded the following very elongated crystals in the glass, however with a great deal of dark orange deposits. The crystals naturally cracked/broke when removed from the glass to be placed in the current container.
2) This half was recrystallized with rapidly evaporating naptha, which was uncharged and therefore unused. The result is completely different: small, compact crystals with almost no yellow-orange deposits, very whitish to transparent.
Both smell distinctly like a wonderful, fresh flower meadow, somehow pure and delightful. They are also practically identical except for the intensity. The 40/65 crystals are weak, and the 100/140 crystals smell extremely strong. Do you have any ideas or knowledge about what this could mean? Or is the intensity of the smell negligible?
My other questions
a) Was it a bad idea to use the charged naphtha, Was that a mistake?
b) What else could be the cause of the increased orange deposits compared to the other result? [No oil got into the glass during pipetting; it must somehow be related to the naphtha?]

I don't know what it may mean, but in my experience, polymerized DMT tends to smell stronger. I had heavily polymerized DMT that looked like a chunk of plastic, and it's the strongest smelling I have extracted. I have noticed no differences either vaping it or orally.
Uh ok.
Means the 100/140°C NPS tends to Polymere more? But by what reason?
In case of that is correct, does the polymerized got a shorter lifetime? Or should I use it before the other?
Thanks for your reply btw.
Could it be the Cyclohexane or increased n-hexan? I will use the faster evap for future recrystall then. But this two I mentioned are the direct difference I was more or less to find.
Somehow hard to find what's in really in there anyway...

Healed a molestation that I didn’t even know about
I posted a question looking for an answer now I can’t find it. I didn’t extraction a couple years ago and the bark has been sitting in a mason jar for a couple years. Now it’s all chunky and hard. I’d like to do another extraction. But I don’t know what to do. My brother said just pour some NAPA on it and put it in the freezer and then pour it off. Any suggestions and I can’t fin answers anywhere. .
So I filled the jar and crushed up all the chunks and put it in the freezer. I’ve got the crockpot warming water to put the pour off dish on, to hear for some reason but now I’ll just be pouring straighten nap into it.
I don’t remember how I did it last time. But I do have pickling lime up in my cupboard and I know I useld water when I was originally heating it up and separating the DMT from the bark. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My brother’s birthday is tomorrow and I’d like to give him a present, but I can’t remember how I did it the last time

Mmmmmm, last minute extractions. Be mindful and ignore any pressure you feel.
What caused the hardening? I would've put it the bark in acidic water and done a cook before just pouring solvent on it and throwing it in the freezer. Do you remember what tek/method you're using?

Help! My brother’s birthday is tomorrow and he wanted some DMT. I did my own extraction two years ago and did a couple pulls and got enough to share some and be satisfied.
I have a mason jar still full of all the bark that I’d used and it’s wreaking still of naptha.
My brother, who has also done pulls said just pour some naptha in it and put it in the freezer.
I don’t remember how I did the original pulling of it. I remember heating a crockpot full of water, having a pour off dish, I have pickling lime for some reason, and I left it in the freezer for a certain amount of time, 24 hours add a tilt in the crystals were formed. Now, I’ve just got the jar in the freezer and I crushed all the old chunky dried bark. It’s also full of NAP. 1:2 full. What are my next steps gonna be. I really can’t remember what to do next, and I would love to surprise him for his birthday.
Thanks for any and all help

Yes, last minute extractions. Wonderful lol. I have no idea what mess that I used. I actually used one I found on YouTube that is no longer there. Of course.

The hardening was because it had been extracted already and been sitting in a closed mason jar for the last two years up in my cupboard so it just turned a big chunks of hard bark. I poured a bunch of nap on it and turned it into go and now it’s just sitting.

The shredder idea, the coffee grinder, how would that work. That sounds like a great idea.
If it's not a brick anymore, I'd add some basic water, and perform the pulls. Be safe.

That’s what I was thinking too. Just add some water heat it up in that pie pan and then let it sit in the freezer and tell it crystallizes and then pour it off. Thank you.

you really have no idea what your doing and it can be dangerious , please stop ... and read up abit about extracting , just stop guessing what to do
i am very concernd ,
i am not being mean please ...i just want you to slow down and learn the what and why of steps .
