Yeah same thing I know I can probably get it from somewhere, just seeing if anyone knows where exactly.
I've only ever used lab grade NaOH, you use caustic soda from a hardware store or something EW ?

Yeah I'll go find some tomorrow in a hardware store. I was reading your 100 g ACRB tek a couple of days ago, I use MHRB - would your tek be any different from Cyb's if I used MHRB ? Your product looks great by the way

Is the mini A/B totally pointless with MHRB ?

Saw it in boots 98 % pure online, anyone tried this ? Doesn't need to be lab grade bro, 98% will work mint. I think mine was 98-99% “Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”

Yes as concombres said it'll clean any extraction up and I combine all 5 pulls back to back then do one or two pulls to see what's left behind and I usually do not do freeze precipes anymore , but you must have quality mature root bark to do so .. let us know of you're results JustCurious ..,

Wilkinson also had NaOH last time I looked. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Can hydroponic ph Up and Down be used if needed ? One can never cross the ocean without the Courage to lose sight of the shore

If you've already got them and can't/won't go to a nearby shop and buy caustic soda for well under a fiver... To substitute caustic soda, you'd need to use the pH up, of course. Seems like a waste of money to me. “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

Hydroponic pH up is likely potassium carbonate (K2CO3).
Swimming pool pH up is usually sodium carbonate (Na2CO3).
Lye (NaOH) is far too caustic for those purposes.
In my country, lye prills are sold in 500 gram bottles in all the hardware stores. Supermarkets here sell either liquid crap with useless additives or lye prills that are mixed with aluminium and nitrate. Avoid those.

Have you used this ? I found an MSDS online which says 90-100 % which is hardly convincing and the bottle itself has no ingredients list; it only mentions 'Hazardous Substances - NaOH'. It should be okay I think...

Thanks for the suggestion but I'll try this Wilkinson's one for now, I think I may still have just enough for one last ex. with the proper lab grade anyway.

I use the wilkinsons one, good stuff it's just sodium hydroxide nothing else and for £2 it's worth it
