Retreiving DMT from sodium carbonate wash

[cassini]

I had to leave my second solvent pull in the mixture a little longer than usual. When I pulled the solvent I noticed that some distinct DMT shards were forming. During the sodium carbonate wash I noticed that some of these crystals are present in the water layer. I haven't separated the layers yet.

Is there a way to retrieve these crystals? Add more water? More sodium carbonate, or heat the solutions?

I used a good pinch of sodium carbonate added to 15ml water which was added to 150ml solvent.

Thanks.

I would try heating the solution, shaking hard and seperate as quickly as possible. Evaporate the water and you will have sodium carbonate and whatever dmt is in there. Someone else will need to tell you how to seperate any dmt thats in with the sodium cabonate as i dont know.

If you could accurately weigh the amount of sodium carbonate used then after evapping the water you could weigh whats left and see if its gained weight in dmt

Evaporate everything: Then you should have DMT mixed with Sodium Carbonate left. Then you add water, decant and got your DMT back.

Sorry for bumping, but I have the same problem, and it was a bit unclear. Will the DMT end up on the bottom, with no adding of any solvent to get it back?

And if I have 250 mg of spice which I wish to do a sodium carbonate wash on, which ratio should I use (spice/water/solvent)? There's so many ratios floating around, and I mistake I have picked one of the bad ones...
