Hello Nexians.. So i followed noman's tek using 100g powdered rootbark, 1.5L H20, and 100g Lye. I let the mixture basify and mix with the powder for about an hour or so like it said..

then i threw in 100ml pure naptha, tipped the jug end over end 4-5 times for 1 minute and let it settle. then i extracted the naptha and put it into a collection jar. i repeated this step once more to get a second pull and also put that into another collection jar.

i threw these in the freezer last night and now there is white stuff clinging to the sides of the glass and a lot stuck to the bottom. i was expecting some "snow globes" floating on the top like the tek said so im not sure whats up here.. this is my first extraction.. if i am being any sort of vague then i apologize.. check out the pics.. what should i do with this?

Looks like a nice clean yield!

While still at freezer temperatures, pour off the naphtha and leave glasses/jars upside down on a 45 degree angle or so to allow excess naphtha to drain off and dry. After several hours, the crystals should be dry.

Once the crystals are completely dry scrape them off, gather them up, and ...

Awesome to hear! I am pretty psyched! Yes its all very white so I don't think I am going to do a recrystallization.. I will pour off the naphtha and then should i let it sit at an angle in the freezer til it dries? Or outside the freezer? May seem obvious but im not sure. Thanks so much for your help!

Pour it off outside of the freezer. The crystals won't re-dissolve.

(Inside the freezer will make your freezer, refrigerator, and any food in either smell like naphtha.) :(

ok sounds good gibran.. i took everything out of the freezer to let dry upside down in the jars. i lot of it is white and some is yellow.. there is also a tiny bit of yellow goop looking stuff to what i imagine is dmt oxide.. doesnt look like more than a couple mg's tho so thats pretty awesome.. i really did not expect to get anywhere near this much.. once everything is dry i will post the final weight.. thanks so much for your help! I will have to try the fruits of my labor soon :)
