Successful extraction

Found these instuctions and pictures on a memory card. I have no idea what this is but feel like posting them on this forum.

1. 50mg of NaOH was added to 750ml of distilled water and stirred to create a homogenous mixture.
2. 50mg of MHRB was added to the NaOH + distilled water. Contents were shaken vigorously for 1 1/2 minutes and left alone for 1 hour.
3. 50ml of WM&P Naphtha was added to contents.
4. Glass jar was then rolled around in random direction for 1 minute and left to sit in a warm water bath for 5 minutes. This was repeated four times. IMPORTANT: glass jar was never shaken.
5. Naphtha was extracted and placed into a pyrex pie dish.
6. Repeated steps 3 thru 5 exactly 3 times.
7. The 200ml of naphtha in the pie dish was then at room temperature for 3 hours before being placed in the freezer for 12 hours.
8. The crystals were stuck to the pie dish and the naptha was poured out. Contents were then placed in a room temperature, isolated area, and left alone for 5-7 hours (or until completely dry)
9. Crystals were then thrown into the garage because the experiment was over

Smart man with the glass jar. SWIM used a HDPE container and could not tell apart the naphtha from the mimosa

SWIM uses hdpe containers, but pours the solution into a long-necked wine bottle for pipetting.
 
congratulations... feels good dont it:lol: not that i would know but my cat tells me all about it he practically cant stop talking about it.
 
Psychosisdoses - the memory card I found won't shut-up either. It's extremely happy with the results. The memory card told me it weighs just under 1/2 gram.
 
My memory card told me to add a few notes for everyone else.

1. For the freezer part, 150ml of Naphtha would seperate the crystals in a pie dish.
2. For the freezer part, 200ml of Naphtha would NOT seperate the crystals in a pie dish.
Solution: Buy 2 pie dishes and place 1/2 the Naphtha in each. Not sure if anyone else has this issue. Simply a solution so my problem.
3. Covering the pie dish in alluminum foil or not covering makes no impact on the final result (for the freezer part)
4. Getting the "strains" from the first batch yielded a semi-yellow batch. This was smoked anyways and not harsh.
5. I've used the above method 3 times now with a 100% success rate.
 
the only problem with not using a cover..is when you are taking the naphtha and pie dish out of the freezer...water will condense on the glass as soon as you bring it out...and will get water in your spice..which just means it will take a lot longer to fully dry
 
This is what makes SWIM mad. SWIM used the same method and proportions as Guards951 (san the freeze percip) and all he got was a tiny amount of goo.

That's cause STB sucks. Do an A/B. Much much better.
Science and experience demonstrate otherwise.
 
Well, SWIM has done his 4th extraction now. The last extraction yielded zero crystals. SWIM believes that 200ml of Naphtha in the freezer will not allow the crystals to seperate. He's decided to place each extraction of 50ml into their own little jars. Hopefully a bunch of snow globes await him in a few hours. Will report my findings.
 
swim recommends stirring the naphtha base mix in the jar for at least 10 mins he usually does 20/25 per pull
(he thinks it gives the naptha more chance to pick up spice). That and he uses a lil more lye, are the only difference between swims method and swiy's and swim always yields over 1%.
last extraction got 750mg from 50g of powdered mhrb and that's after a clean up. give it a try:d .

Peace
 
An update... SWIM has been experimenting with different ratios and techniques. From SWIM's test runs, the fallowing has been concluded.

1. Agitating each pull for 30min-1hour pulls more crystals.
2. Hot Naphtha pourned into a warm NaOH/MHRB/H20 mixture pulls more crystals.
3. Placing into freezer is ideal for crystalization.
4. 50GRAMS ;) MHRB + 750ml distilled water + 50g NaOH is the ideal ratio.
5. Meth pipe works wonders!!!

I know many people already know this, but SWIM would like to emphesis their importance after a few crappy pulls.
