Greetings all, I am very new so please be gentle haha
I am not sure if this is already posted in a thread, if it is I would appreciate it very much if I was directed to it

although I have researched on a few threads here, I am very new to posting and I'm having a difficult time navigating the posts directly. Any help would be much appreciated

I am having a difficult time producing good results with acacia confusa root bark. I got it from Hawaii after failing miserably with a UK source, 2.5 kilos wasted >.< My friend and I have worked with mhrb and produced amazing results. Just having a tough time with this new material. I'm wondering if an stb extract should work with acrb or if we should just take the time and extra work necessary to do an a/b tek? We've tried both but after researching I'm not so sure we did either of them correctly. I am pretty much learning the whole process from my buddy and haven't had much hands on work with it myself. I want to do be able to do this on my own since he has gotten very sloppy in past year from an opiate addiction :/ it has started affecting every aspect of the project (plus starting to affect our relationship, which sucks) which is costing a lot of money, to say the least.
I know I can handle doing this on my own, I am very precise when following directions. I have just been under his wing and he feels the need to micro-manage everything and gets very moody very easily so it's been difficult to fly on my own.
Can someone please just help me with information on an tek is desirable for acacia confusa and also let me know if the stb tek for mhrb would work for it please please please

Thanks to anyone who will help this little birdy fly!!!
