Each time I've tried to extract from ACRB, I see white lumps (rather than crystals). I always have a nagging feeling that it's just the salt or something. Does anyone else get lumps? primordium attached the following image(s):  20140207_152455 - Copy.jpg (2,475kb) downloaded 360 time(s). photo 4 - Copy.JPG (2,023kb) downloaded 360 time(s)."The infinite vibratory levels, the dimensions of interconnectedness are without end." -- Alex Grey

Which tek are you using? How certain are you that what you have is actually ACRB? Have you dried these white lumps out?

Here is a couple photos of my acrb one with flash and one with a lamp..compare.. Your inner material looks a little light in color? Shouldent it be more red?..or is it just your photo? starway6 attached the following image(s): DSC08109.JPG (2,906kb) downloaded 337 time(s). DSC08108.JPG (3,077kb) downloaded 336 time(s).

You're bark is so much more fatter in diameter and mine is I think stem bark , but I don't think it's confusa I think it's a sub species as it only gave a small amount of unactive goo !!

If not that would explain the poor yields.
No I'm putting it in whole root , dirt , cigi lighter and all !!  No I blitz mine up in coffee grinder till it's full on powder !! It still has a little bit of fibers here n there but it's pretty fine , almost dusty !!!

I get lumps ,but thats a bunch of chrystals clumped together. When i have removed the naphta ,and used a fan for ca 20 minutes,the white lumps turn to white fluff when scraped from the pyrexdish. I belive you should get a new supply of bark... TT Travling Tommy attached the following image(s): DSCF2354.JPG (4,459kb) downloaded 305 time(s).Im a liar.

This was acrb,picture from 1 pull from a 75g exracktion. I used cyb`s max ion tek. Went wery well,i did not measure everything,i pulled 8 times.the last two pulls only gave 40mg of golden goo (not Worth the job).But i got about 2% yeild in totall  I`ll be doing only 6 pulls from now,as the tek says. Im a liar.

Yes I like cybs TEKs I was thinking of doing the ATB hybrid salt TEK but throwing a defat in there to get rid of the yellow goo ,, some ppl like it , but it gives me a bloody headache !!

Yes i tried that tek too (the ATB hybrid salt TEK) without the defat step. worked well too. I have used the same bark all the time ,and have the impression that the max ion tek has a slightly better yeild,and purity. But its fun With diffrent tek`s I have four diffren colurs of goo from diffrent extractions: black,brown,red and golden...the goo seems to get pulled in the later pulls,i actuall never tried to smoke any of it  as i am not sure that it might be some base-stuff still left there? But i once got pinkish spice, i think it was red goo underneath the white fluff that goy scraped upp and mixwed together so it was a little sticky , that dmt had a spesial pleasure to it Im a liar.

TT Nice clean looking lumps.. Still..When ever the crystals melt the turn back to amber goo anyway..dont they..? Thats why.. [with acacia].[unlike mimosa that is so easy to get crystals from..] i sometimes dont bother with the extra work ..and just evaporate everything ..because it seems that goo and crystals are one of the same/? arent they? cxrystals are wearing their dress cloths... goo is just naked..

I freeze 12-18 hours. The lumps i get are not melting,i take out the naphta and use the fan wery quickly it does not have time to melt,but i dont think it would have melted anyway even if i wasnt in a hurry. Heres a pickture after removing naphta and finished With the fan(below)... I never had any chrystals melt here as i have seen. strange Sometimes there is goo that lays like a very thin layer beneath the x-tals in my pyrex dishes. so it can be difficult to colleck the x-tals without some sticky-icky.. I save the goo also but havent really tried it yet. Travling Tommy attached the following image(s): DSCF2356.JPG (4,880kb) downloaded 296 time(s).

I ask this because cybs teck is usualy for mimosa bark... If its working that smoothly for ..[acacia].. ..thats great... It looks super easy and without doing hours of acid boiling ... I hate doing 5 hours of acid boiling the acacia bark ..! will cybs teck work for .... acacia confusa bark??? thanks..
