Greetings fellow wanderers of the mind. I wanted to post up a detailed pictorial Tek for newcomers to extraction. There seems to be a lot of confusion following Teks so I have devised an easy to follow guide. (I have intentionally omitted all the why's and wherefore's of the chemical processes to avoid confusion.
These can be easily found at the Nexus for those who are interested.)Especially hereNote that not all barks contain the same percentages of actives...End Results Will Vary!! This is for small (starter) amounts of powdered mimosa hostilis root bark (and ACRB) (50g)(Note) 1.Although I have included an Acidic bath to begin with...this can be omitted and the extractor can go STB (Straight to base) if they wish. (Just start with the Salt and make sure you end up with 700ml of liquid). 2.You can also omit the heat baths if you want to do the Tek 'cold'. ( yield maybe affected.) ( Please Note: Heat baths should ' WARM' the mix... NOT heat them excessively.) approx 40-55*C bath water is optimal. This Tek should produce around 2% Yield (depending on the bark)...that's 1g per 50g Bark...(30-40 hits) Enough for any beginner! Anyway I have included it here in PDF form (download at the bottom of this post below the flowchart)Enjoy....  Love Cyb EDIT: New research by users indicate that Salt can be used (with good results) with Acacia Extractions;
especially A/B (Just add the salt before Basing) ALSO a mini A/B on the collective pulled solvent will clean it very well.

looks good cyb, its always nice to have decent pics to go with the text. 1 question though, is there any reason you choose to re-x in a glass as opposed to a baking tray? INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT it's all in your mind, but what's your mind??? fool of the year

i didnt think it would make any difference, but easier scraping and drying is the way to go i think. good work  INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT it's all in your mind, but what's your mind??? fool of the year

Wow Cyb, really, really well done. Perfect tek.

Well done Cyb! Nice pictorial! Listen to a man of experience: thou wilt learn more in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach thee more than thou canst acquire from the mouth of a master. St. Bernard

BOOOOOOOOM, 50g of mhrb turned into 950mg of magic. Gotta love the salt tek. INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT it's all in your mind, but what's your mind??? fool of the year

really great pictorial you have made here cyb, good job "science never proves anything; you can never duplicate an event precisely at the same moment in time as the initial event. science can only show correlation from the evidence and data derived from it." -benzyme

The icing on the cake is that the 950mg is all white and fluffy, even before re-x. I've got pulls 6-7 in the freezer now, I've gotta hit the magic 2%. INHALE, SURVIVE, ADAPT it's all in your mind, but what's your mind??? fool of the year

Hey guys
running an Acacia extraction atm and wanted to add the salting part of this tek to my extraction.
My question is you would obviously up the amount salt for the amount of plant material you are using right?
Like say i had 500g i would use something close to like 400g salt?

add salt until it stops dissolving in your solution and your solution is fully saturated. it worked for me.
|
|
|
^^^ SLiCeR. The object of the salt is to potentiate or amplify the ionic strength of the Basic (Alkaline) mixture, therefore more 'clumps' of molecule will migrate to the Solvent. It will be down to the amount of water/liquid you have overall, not necessarily the amount of bark. I would just add a heavily saturated solution to the mix...( I don't think you can over do it)You will find that your first 2 pulls of solvent will be the most saturated...most of your product will come out here..following pulls will diminish in yield....but keep going till nothing comes out...then the bark is depleted.

I hadn't seen this Tek before, but it's an absolute beauty! Well explained, great pics and a few really handy tips in there that I haven't come across elsewhere, e.g. using a sieve in your pan to prevent your naptha from bubbling too hard. Thanks Cyb! I may well try this with 50g of the MHRB I've got on order as it's a really good and straightforward tek for noobs like me. Fantabulous! When it blows, it stacks...

Fantabulous! If you are new to MHRB extractions, I suggest you try with smaller amounts like 50 or 100g. That way will gain more experience (due to multiple extractions) which may help you understand the process a bit better. Also this will reduced the amounts of "lost" material if something goes wrong.

I had totally missed this one, cyb. Great work, great document. Thank you! "The Menu is Not The Meal." - Alan Watts

^^^ Absolutely Yes Non Dua.. Start with 50g (1g yield = 30 - 40 hits) and perfect the process...then you can knock out a bigger one later..  Please do not PM tek related questions Reserve the right to change your mind at any given moment.

Thanks for sharing cyb! It is very nicely laid out with great pictures to help along. Still got 75g MHRB that I may run through this tek in the future. The inner soul is full of joy. Reveal my secrets and sew me whole. With each day, "I" heeds your call.
You may not care the slightest and may not be the brightest, but from here "I" sees you're mighty for you created it all.
And the jumbling sea rose above the wall.
Through this chaos comes the order you enthrall.

Oops! That was a typo, I meant to say 50g rather than 500g!!  I'll edit the post. When it blows, it stacks...
