first step of the max ion tek reads instructs to heat for 1hr , then freeze solid, and it specifically states to repeat this process 3x

my pal is about to try a 100 powdered acrb max ion

can anyone help me to twist his arm to include the heat / freeze portion of the process or is the general consensus this time consuming part of the tek is " not really worth the hassle"

thanks in advance as i relax and wait for the answers to come pouring in .

Doing a freeze/thaw will maximise your chances of getting the alkaloids. I've had extremely high yields without doing freeze/thaw, but this was with powdered ACRB. If you have other plant material that isn't powdered, doing a freeze/thaw will help with the extraction.

Freeze/thaw is optional for powdered, and optimal for other forms.

Freeze/thaw will never hurt doing.
I agree that powder needs less effort.

yeah its powdered .

thank you both SO much for the responses .



my pal will be pleased to know he was correct in his thinking and pleased to feel confident it will not be extremely detrimental for him to skip this step in his situation .
