https://wiki.dmt-nexus.m.../Lime_A/B_Extraction_TekQuote:Note: The mix will form a "dark crust" that is fine. It does not affect the yield at all, it is a sign you are doing the tek right! It will actually tell you when most of the alkaloids are out. When there is no DMT left, the mix will not crust, but just stay dark!
When SWIM has added 1:2 mhrb to lime, or 1:1.. SWIM is getting nothing like a "dark crust", just a dark, somewhat gooey mix that is dark brownish. It even mentions in the tek that the mix will turn somewhat of a greyish color, but that is not happening at all. Am I doing something wrong? I have followed the tek precisely up until this point.
