i was thinking of going with something simple like lazymans stb tek because i had some troubles with yield my last time with acacia. any suggestions or experience you had doing a stb with acacia is appreciated as there isn't much ive found looking around the site

There are many threads about exactly this. STB doesn't with well with ACRB. I tried once, total waste. Best to do an A/B. Thick-light's tek is golden.
i appreciate your input and have heard this exact advice before to use thick lights , but i have also read a succesful report of boiling the bark then basify and let soak for 3 days, pull as you would with any other tek. have you seen this i cannot recall the exact location

Sounds like a changa tek to me but not sure if any of the teks call for the amounts that you are describing as it might be misconstrued as a "commercial scaled extraction". Check the Attitude page for references on that one. :surprised :

you are mistaken my friend their are teks on wiki using 2 kilos of bark so i cannot see how this would be misconstrued as "commercial extraction" or maybe i have missed your point. :?

In my experience it's been best to go with a hybrid route, I've tried Thick-light's tek and only got 1.5% and that seems to be pretty common from what other users have posted. Using Cyb's Salt Hybrid tweaked a little bit my highest yield ever has been 2.6%, the time you let the acid mix sit is crucial, I always let mine sit for a week while freezing and unfreezing it before I basify
 
If you are new to extractions its recommended to start with a smaller amount.
Something like 250-500 grams of material to extract is plenty for personal use.
It is much easier to work with smaller amounts while learning the process. If something goes wrong all of your bark won't be screwed and it will easier to save. Just my opinion.

The WIKI is not a law enforcement officer knocking on your door or a lawyer or a judge. That is my point my new found friend. :thumb_up: Just trying to help keep you as safe as possible. Good luck trying to say that a 1 or 2 Kilo extraction is for personal use in front of a judge... I think you can see what I am getting at now. Sincerely.
