Demetri Extraction Questions

Hey there friends, I was just wondering how long I have to wait after my first pull to do another pull from mhrb? I heard wait 4 hours.....and if so how many times can I pull from 50 grams of mhrb? Thanks for the help.

I don't believe any waiting is required, especialy if you gave the lye bark mix enough time before you started extractions in the first place.

Normally I do like 3 sessions of 3 pulls.
You can pull till no more xtals form, then go over to xylene to grab some more.

What do I do with xylene? ha Doesnt that make the crystals ultra dank?

Oh yeah and I was wondering when I should add more lye and how much for 50 gs of mhrb?

For 50g of bark, id start with say 60 to 70g of lye, you won't realy need to add more unless you add too little to start with. rememebr to add it slowly and have a basin of cold water to cool the bottle in as it is an exothermic reaction.

Well th efirst part of the xylene tek is the same in terms of pouring some in the mix and seperating it.

then one dries some acetone with baked epsom salts and saturate that with fumaric acid, this gets added into the pulled xylene dropwise, makes these real cool milkey smokey swirls.
Anyhow, when you are done with this step you are left with DMT-fumaric salts and some excess fumaric acid deposits, so you wash the mix with some dry acetone.

NExt you use some baked bicarb of soda 1:1 ratio with the salt xtals you have seperated and dried (it dries fast) and a few drops of water to work it into a paste and form thefreebaseand let it dry while crushing any particles.... DMT freebase is soluble in acetone... now you perform a number of small washes with acetone and collect them together. Evaporate this to form a plate of earwax like DMT freebase + jungle spice. Use very small bits, this stuff puts normal DMT to shame whne it comes to potency.

I dont think there is any set time you have to wait, I usually wait 12 hours each pull for about 3 days or until the returns are not worth anymore pulls. I have a busy working schedule that prevents me from doing 3 pulls a day.

I have never used xylene in a STB tek so I am ignorant as to its properties.

My best results have been 6 tablespoons lye to 150g MHRB with 2 more being added at the 3rd pull.

I use around 50 gs of lye but i still get a good bit of deamster out of it. ill use more next pull I guess. And how long do u have to roll the mixture for before u freeze it i do about 3 to 5 min or should i agitate longer?

My procedure as follows: add naphtha to jar, roll invert tumble every couple of minutes for a couple hours, take out naphtha with a turkey baster, evaporate of a little until its a milky liquid, seal in mason jar, stick in freezer and check in the morning. Pour remaing naphtha back into the lye mhrb solution, and repeat. leave the jar with the crystals in front of fan to dry out, shouldnt take more than 20 min.

The whole point with the lye is to hit a certain pH zone, I think its 13. some odd, you'd have to google it. If you ahev one of those electronic pH meters you would then know precisely when you are on optimal pH. Unfortunatley papers don't realy work due to the staining nature of the bark.

aight cool, thanks for all the help guys.
