thanks in advance this is probably really simple I am just not understanding.
last time I am sure I removed all the goodies and saved pure stomach ache.

step 2 says Do a naptha wash, so add napta until 5cm above the seeds.
?so when I get to 3 ? has the naptha been removed and discarded or do I add-
[4x] (for votka and everclear), [10x] (for acetone and IPA --to the naptha.
and then again at step 3. are supposed to strain after wash?

and then on step 5 define pull please sounds like we are straining again?

I posted the procedure for discussion purpose

---

Step 1

Grind the seeds to powder and put in one jar.

Step 2

Do a naptha wash, so add napta until 5cm above the seeds.

Step 3
Repeat step 2 [4x] (for votka and everclear), [10x] (for acetone and IPA)

Step 4

Discard the naptha save the solids (powdered seeds)

Step 5
add pure IPA or acetone for powder, everclear or vodka for liquid. Let it stand for 30 min.
pull 2-3x

Step 6

Take your solvent off

Step 7

Evap totaly for powder, and evap until solids form from the liquid

I am not exactly sure what your problem is.
In step 6 you have to discard the seed powder and keep every ethanol/ipa wash to evaporate in step 7.
Discard the naphta!

Maybe that helps?

wash does that mean wash then dry or wash then add
step 4 says discard naptha not 6

or as I understand naptha wash = soak 5cm above seed powder for ___ minutes
and strain. or soak for ____ minutes and add to that mix without straining
seems a little vague for a important step

and on step 5 what is a pull

Step 1

(i suggest to remove the thin coating from every seed with your fingernails,but you dont have to)
Grind the seeds to powder and put in one jar.

Step 2

Do a naptha wash, so add napta until 5cm above the seeds.
(everytime 15 to 60 minutes, shake or stir occasionally,discard naphta!)

Repeat step 2 [4x] (for vodka and everclear), [10x] (for acetone and IPA)

Let the seedmush dry to evap the leftover naphta

Step 3
add pure IPA or acetone for powder, everclear or vodka for liquid(to the dry seedpowder). Let it stand for 30 min.
pull 2-3x

(stir or shake occasionally,after 30 min let the solids settle and pour of the solvent (everclear ,vodka,ipa... the LSA is in there,keep it)
a pull is one step with fresh solvent, repeat it 2-3 times)

Step 4

Filter the solvent with a coffee filter.

keep it (the LSA) in solution (for everclear and vodka)
Evap totaly for powder(when you use IPA or acetone)



I hope this exlains everything !

thanks

What works better for a polar lsa solvent, pure acetone or 99% isopropyl alcohol?

Both will work, but acetone is generally preferred.

I add for safety :

- make sure you can measure your doses ( I have 1ml pure ethanol containing 1,33 seeds)
- make sure you have drinkable ethanol (when usinh pur ethanol)
- dont drink pure ethanol , delute before consumption

Thanks dude... I wasn't sure becuase I read somewhere that you shouldn't use isopropyl alcohol for extracting and you should use acetone... But then again, most people always have teks that involve isopropyl and not acetone so I appreciate the feedback! I also noticed that Kash happens to list acetone in his extracts and he seems like he has a lot of knowledge on LSA

this tek is also suited for heavenly blue morning glory seeds as well?

Yes

After an extraction made from morning glory seeds with isopropyl alc. i end with some very fine GREEN crystals. Is that LSA ? Because i believed LSA has a brown color
