hey everyone this is my first post in nexus! i live in sydney and my local is (acacia obtusifolia) good ol blunt tip wattle. and i dont know anything about the flowering seasons of this plant, since were at the start of winter now, would (acacia obtusifolia) wattle be in season? any answers will help me greatly for i live by myself no-one knows about the species my area, and twigs and flowers i always thought they have a good percentage of alkaloids, and what difference does 5meo dmt and normal dmt have? thank u guys for this stop any un educated estimations, please excuse me if i sound un educated it is my will to learn 4 now on

Hey mate welcome to the nexus
good to have another acacia enthusiast i the midst..
pretty sure obtusifolia flowers in summer? phyllodes would be a good sustainable way of harvesting spice too, though I think they often have nmt in them too. just in case you weren't aware obtusifolia has been subjected to disturbing levels of wild harvest and its populations have suffered badly as a result of greedy people. i would highly reccomend not using trunk bark for extractions.. but yeah you seem to have the right idea anyway I just thought I'd put that out there

twigs are apparently the purest part of obtuse and are also a sustainable method so I'd reccomend that route

good luck brother

hey mate they do flower in summer. it is quite hard to find one when not flowering though. you can perform the extraction and test the final extraction with a testing kit. it can be practice of how to do the process just do it in small amounts eg 250-500 grams of bark. a good method to finding a sustainable source is to only remove around 50% of the bark from one side of the tree. this let the tree survive cause it can still get water up through the bark and should recover eventually.

Welcome to the Nexus, do write an introduction essay with a bit more info so we can get to know you

Regarding Acacia, have a look on this thread if you havent yet: https://www.dmt-nexus.me...spx?g=posts&t=23472

and the Acacia link in my signature too. Take your time reading, and let us know if there's anything you cant find answer to.If you do get to extract from Acacias, as it has been said, make sure you are sustainably harvesting (info on above thread too). Also be sure to update us if you make any experiments!

See you around.

the best tek i found is lextek for extraction but search for the dmt hand book and give it a good read. its great for beginners. if u have any answer after reading it try researching in wiki then if that fails put up another posts
