Wow, that really picked up some color! Are you going to use xylene for your last pull?

Ladies and gentlemen, my first attempt at extracting an entire kilo in one batch! I'm making history boys!

Yeah I'll probably do a xylene pull at the end

I been working on extractions all day long. So here's some drug porn boys! The dish is the DMT from the last extraction in this thread. The 2 jars are some honeycomb bho. The fuller jar alone has an ounce in it. Good God this wax is

Wow El_Ron, those look incredible!

Ok boys...1 kilo of MHRB was ground up and 3 water and vinegar washes were done on the material. The 3 washes were finely filtered then combined and reduced from a gallon and a half to less than a liter. Now I can add lye water and solvent and still have enough wiggle room in my sep funnel to tumble it end over end (but I haven't got there yet.) I'm so fuckin stoked to see how this turns out! It's not always my first pull that ends up being the biggest, sometimes it's the second one. I'll post more pics when we got something interesting to look at

Edit:this is the most material I've ever processed in one go therefore I'm hoping to see the biggest chunk of DMT I've ever seen! 1% yield would equal a 10 gram chunk of DMT! 1.5% would be 15 grams, etc. I intend to crystallize the entire thing into one solid chunk! God I'm getting a chubby just thinking about it!

Ok so I learned a lesson, maybe some of the chemistry people here can explain what happened in science terms. I can't explain it in those terms but I'll try my best to convey what happened. Ultimately I condensed it down too far, that's the lesson I learned. When I was adding the lye water, the reaction was different than any other time I've done this. Once again, please forgive the simple language. Adding the lye water was causing a "thickening" of the whole reaction whereas usually it causes it too become "thinner" and more "slippery." Some even condensed to a solid on the spoon I would stir it with. For whatever reason, intuition or something, I knew what the culprit was. I immediately added 100% more water to it, bringing the total volume back to over one and a half liters. At this point, adding lye started to cause the reaction I'm used to and was expecting. However I thought I could have destroyed everything. That was until a couple minutes ago, the first pull is showing its first crystal formation. Perhaps I did do some damage, maybe I destroyed some product. But there's still goodies in there. Fuck I'm relieved. That would have been a lot of lost work. I'll post pics later. Have a nice day boys
