Results Table from Cactus Analysis

Migrated topic.
I see that you can't see it unless you are a logged in member...

I'll try to get it in a public format but copy & paste looks like shit...:thumb_dow
 
I love your work ! More, more, more :)

Thank you! I will be sending more samples off to Energy Control pretty soon here.

If you or anyone else is good at interpreting mass spectra then we could figure out what some of those mystery alkaloids are...
 
Latest. Move over Lumberjack.

Maybe someone can screen shot this or tell me how? :oops:

You are welcome!

I have been doing the math to figure out mgs mescaline per foot of cactus, it is interesting how it kind of levels the playing field between some of the clones and species.
 
Also brewed up some PC recently and it sure was active, at a dosage that this chart says is not possible, so what's up with that?
 
Here it is with the mgs per foot...

Personally, I am not sure how much I would learn from the mescaline content per foot. As the diameter of the cactus is not taken into account, this might vary a lot between cuttings.

I would go so far to say that even per kilo is not the best measure. The active compounds seem to be are concentrated under the skin. Thus, having a bigger diameter will make the cactus less potent per kilo.

I have two suggestions for a reasonable measure:
1.) percentage of mescaline in the first 3 cm of the outer cactus flesh. I guess this is impractical.
2.) mescaline / kg /volume [cm^3] - not sure how practical this is.

Plotting the second measure against the the volume of the sample should tell us if the assumption is correct and the mescaline is only in the outer parts. If the relationship is proportional, it is in every part of the cactus. If the ratio goes down with volume it is only in the outer skin.

Do you still have the exact sizes and diameters of your cuttings?
