Proper A/B PH for Powdered Mimosa

[futura]

I used Marsofold Tek with a PH of 4 for A(Water/Vinegar) and a PH of 13.4 for B(Water/Lye) on Mimosa Pink Inner Root Bark Powder

Is that the right ranges??

1 KG Powder x 3 pet ether pulls gave

7.5 g off-white xtals
1.0 g slightly yelllow x-tals
.5g yellow x-tals

Also I warmed the Pet Ether before pulls...

Did this result in More but Dirtier x-tals??

Would first pull be Cleaner if I didnt warm Pet ether??

Yes, you spice will be cleaner if both the jug and the solvent are not hot. You won't pull quite as much on your first pull, but it will be cleaner. The spice not picked up by the solvent on the first pull is easily picked up by 2nd and 3rd pulls.

HOT pulls more oils, cold/room temp pulls a lot less.

I'm not sure you need to bring up the pH to 13.5. I have always had very nice yields from 12.0-12.5. Raising up the pH past 12.5 really doesn't do much but keep the emulsions down.

Other than that your extraction sounds pretty sound.

Sound about right, 9g from 1000 is about .9percent, good job
