Hi All,
I have recently identified a number of Acacia Cyclops, and have obtained many twigs to use in a test extraction.
I grabbed a wide range from various shrubs, mostly from the older looking specimen, as I recall reading that Acacia often produce DMT in more mature specimen.
I do have a few questions though.

Firstly, is it okay to use twigs without any leaves...the more dead looking bark (grey instead of of green), they still have seed pods, just no phyllodes, and as such, would be easier to blend. The whole plant is very much alive and well, just some of the stems are absent of phyllodes (I`ll upload a picture later to demonstrate).

I plan to run through a similar tek to the following

Would a single soak with boiling water be fine?
I simply want to determine if there are any worthwhile alkaloids.
I also do not have Hydrochloric Acid, but was thinking of 1:2 ratio of Boiling Water to Vinegar, does that sound suitable?
Otherwise, I will run through the same steps, and hope to get some cloudly naptha...but with my never ending failed attempts, I will not hold my breath :/
I will update this thread with my results, thanks for any replies

if there is dmt in there, then the twigs should be fine. dead bark probably won't give you any luck though.

if your mainly looking for dmt then it won't hurt if you boil it. soaking on the other hand is better if you leave it for at least 12 hrs per soak, as it will not draw the alkaloids as quickly and efficiently as heat

1 boil wil be fine for seeing if theres anything in there, though another couple won't hurt especially if it has a low yield

oh and vinegar is fine.. just a dash though now not much is requried
good luck

Thanks, the main reason for a single boil is to reduce my time to reaching my expected fail, I don't care about extracting out all the alkaloids at this stage, simply would be happy with some result, to know whether or not to pursue any further.
I`ll try the twigs that I got, but I guess I won't expect much considering your comment regarding dead bark. Unsure of what would be considered dead bark when seed pods are on the stems. hmmm.
I will get fresh alive material next time...hopefully I get some result tonight though :/

Why expect a fail? a member here has had success with this species it seems like a reasonable candidate.. his yield was pretty small if i remember so a few boils might be worth it if there are any actives in there

if the bark is dead it will be dry and crumbly and will have lost much of its colour... it doesn't matter if its dead but rather if its rotten. i only ever use fallen material and it works fine

Because every extraction I have tried has failed :/ unsure if it's due to the plant matter or not.
It doesn't look rotten in the slightest, never the less, i took some green leafy stem, and will use a 50/50 mix incase, and try for a 150g extraction.

Trace amounts of goo resulted...probably less than 10mg :/ I wonder if I am doing anything wrong here. An A/B extraction sounds very basic, and it was definitely Acacia Cyclops. *grumbles*
I`ll try one further extraction on the Acacia Victoriae I have identified, grinding the bark to near dust, 3x boil...if nothing results, think i`ll give up until I can either get my Phalaris to grow, or my Acacia Accuminata to arrive.
