Ok, so tonight sally did her extraction.Some is freezing and some is still evaping. Is it common for the naptha used to stay completely clear? Sally followed a stb tek, adding basified water to the bark, she let it sit for quite a while then added naptha shook and extracted. Pictures ahould be comming your way as soon as possible, that is if sally even gets anything! What are the chances of her not having extracted any dmt at all tonight!? It just seems like it went way to smoothly and was wayy to easy. Is there somethign she could have done wrong? Questions about sallys extraction proceedure are welcome :]

Well how many times did you shake it? I also would not recommend adding the basified water to the MHRB unless you have let it cool down if using lye. Sometimes your pulls will look clear but after a little bit of time in the freezer they should turn cloudy. There are a lot of things you failed to report with your tek.

I only did 100grams of bark. Since it was my first time I didnt want to use all of it and loss everything! I Based till it was a very very black soup. And let it sit for quite a while. I then added 100ml of naptha, with then first pull I didnt shake it much just mixed it around, let it sit mixed some more and pulled. Then I would add more naptha and with the last pulls I did I shook alot more, I never had any problems with emulsions or layers not forming. Everythign I did was at room temperature, no heating, could that have affected anything? And to gratefulfloyd, I actually added my bark to the basified water,would that have made any difference? It was failry cooled down when I did. And onne more thing, If I didnt evap enough naptha, and I already have it cooling, can I re-evap then freeze again? Or will that cause me to lose product?


Oh and also, I checked the freezerr this morning, no white, but it does look cloudy instead of clear now >.<

That means that either your naptha isn't saturated enough (evap it by half) or that your freezer isnt cold enough.
What was your ratio of lye to root bark?

Yea im prety sure it isnt saturated enough. But it was taking forever to evaporate!

And I used 100ml naptha for 100grm of bark for the first pull. Then i kinda just eyeballed it for the others.

And since i most likey need to evap more naptha off, should I just take them out of the freezer and keep them at room temperature now? Should I do a hot water bath? or what?

I have one solution sitting in a small glass container, and it has some yellowish looking gunk at the bottom, and the other i have in a metal dish, has some white specks at the bottom already. Im uploading pictures now, should I just leave them in the freezer to see what happens or go ahead and evape some more?

They havent even been freezing for 24 hours yet

edit: also, what would happen if i just let the naptha evap the next few days. Would the dmt also evap with it, or would it stay in the bottom of the pan? Would crystals form, or would it just be goop?

Okay, so this is from the first pull. I havent yet weighed it. I still have some naptha from other pulls I did, in the freezer. One pull got thrown away :[

But at least I still have this to show for it :)

Alot of my white crystals turned red.

Did they oxidize? If so, its still smokeable right?

And also, isnt there a way to get a pure freebase again from it?

Ok, so I have a question again. I know that if your crystals melt after you take them out of the freezer it means that there is usually sovlent still left on them. But how do you get around this dish you are freezing it in to not condensate and cause the crystals to become watery?

I just encountered this problem when i tried to scrape my crystals up. All the naptha was gone, the crystals were dry, but the dish started to condensate once it was out of the freezer and it made my crystals turn into mush.

How do i stop this?

Here is my procedure.

1. Keep the solvent in a hermetically sealed jar while in the fridge.
2. Warm the jar in my hands until there is no more condensation on its outer walls. The jar is still cold, but not cold enough to collect condenstaion.
3. Open the jar and decant the solvent.
4. Put the jar under a fan until there is no visible solvent.
5. I keep the jar under the fan (on low) even after dislodging and breaking up the crystals to ensure that all solvent is gone.
6. Scrape up the crystals.

I know a person who uses, 0.4ml Solvent per gram of bark, per pull.
So for 100g of bark: 100 times 0.4 ml = 40 milliliters

40ml naptha per pull, and do 5 pulls. Each pull stays in the mix for one day, gently mixing often.
Combine each of the pulls in one container.
Evap half away and freeze precipitate in a sealed jar.
Once its been sat for 24-48 hours, open the lid pour away the naptha through a coffee filter to catch any free dmt.
Turn the jar upside down with the lid on and put it back into the freezer for half hour. (this lets the residual solvent drip off the dmt in the jar, thus stopping it from dissolving as the jar warms up)
Take it out and dry it with a fan for half hour, the crystals should now scrape out cleanly.

Combining the pulls into one jar, evaporating half way THEN precipitating in one go should make things alot easier & efficient.
