whoops posted the pics in the wrong thread. here ya go Zen. My finished product. Im super happy with the color but will try again in a flat dish to try to get more individual DMT-urchins

WOW that's some funky looking spice!

The one word that keeps hitting me is Glorious.. Especially that colour (wow=WOW)..

Looks like a nice healthy yield.. I am getting bored waiting for chems to do new pull so am going to take some old vials and re-x for kicks over the next couple of days. See what I can come up with and try out this dish I think was a wasted purchase.

Infinite thanks for the inspiration to continue

This bright yellow spice is my personal favorite. I have always felt that cleaning my crystals up beyond this stage was a serious injustice. I love everything about it, the beautiful floral boquet is incredible, the taste is delicious, and the potency is... Hehehe!

Great job brother! I look forward to sharing some of that around the fire very soon.

The key to yellow is heating the basified solution and using heptane yeah?

I hope so as that is what I just did after taking those 2 vials and Re-Xing hehehe.

I reckon I got at least one more pull in these badboys before I hit up another 250g that's sat waiting for more experimentation.

MOOOOAAAAR SALT!!!!!!

awesome.
evap is totally not required - recently i had some amazing xtals grow in 1 hour flat(average time seems to be about 4hr) (3.5g xtals returned from 4g of colored spice) - with a mix of 2 brands of naptha that had done approximately 40 pulls without being washed other than salting on pulls 12-15.

the trick is getting the naptha hot enough to disolve all the spice and getting it fully saturated - then leaving it to reach almost room temp - without disturbance(maintaining clarity) then pouring off into another very clean preheated vessel.

the impure stuff comes out on letting the solution stand - the shards grow fast if the saturation of the naptha is perfect.

if the naptha is too saturated the spice comes out too fast and doesnt grow xtals, if the naptha is not saturated enough - then the solution has to evap until the perfect amount of saturation is reached - at this point xtals will form.

a very clean new unscratched vessel is best for re-x as there are less points for xtals to form on - meaning fewer actual xtals - thus larger individual xtals.

Cool info from the master... Much appreciated... Am about to add todays attempts as a new post

Phlux!!!!

I feel like were eating in a restaurant and a celebrity just sat down at the table next to us lol!
Hope you got a sec cuz I gots some q's for the Jedi Knight.

Does the way one stirs the dissolved hot heptane matter? If so whats best.
Im working with 75ml now. Hoe much dmt is good for a flat dish? Its a small little pyrex one.

I know growing xtals is part art part luck but any tips to grow them like the long sharded clusters you get would be super appreciated.

Im trying to find the sweet spot between good color and not too much fats that stop good xtal production. My other glass that should be done today has too much fats. Its not making nice xtals but kinda sediment and xtals.

Lastly..,any new pics?

Todays Re-X (If you right click and "view image" they are MUCH bigger hehehe)

Starting amount - 0.648g

DMT heat bath melted into dish (image 1)


Heptane heated and 15ml added to the melted DMT. Stirred with glass stirrer and left in dark room with minimal airflow to evap over 6 hours

The final result


Hmm buttery goodness at the base of the formations


Final amount - 0.605g (Very happy with this)


Example of differing 'grades'

Stop it you guys, you're making me wet

Makes my spice look like soft porn

hehe nice addition... Boom chicka waaaaaaaa

Cheers Zen. I need to get into this re-x crystal porn malarkey

ZEn, those look great! Im gonna crack open my 3g of pure whites and re=X at least 2g of them. The other I need to make more yellow.

Im finding this helpful to color the dmt. I separate the fats and oild from the pure white dmt, then add it back in during a re-X to control color.

Too much and its too Oil=y and wont make xtals, too little and its beige and looks like dirty spice.

Got be just right to get Big Yella.

I have 2 jars of separated fats, one is amber orange the other yellow. This I use as my pallet so to speak. Im going back in. Going to re'X in a flat dish my yellow dmt ans ad 1g more white x-tals to it as well as a hint more fats too keep the color vibrant.

Somebody actually said today I should clean my dmt!

Art + Science =

As per "Cleaning your DMT", I hope you gave that someone a lil "what for" hahaha

Decided to use heptane for a pull.. This is my fourth pull and still grabbing mad spice

Figured some pics of pre re-x spice that has been pulled straight from basified solution might be of comparative use (Base was with added salt + warm mag-sulphate solution, repeated heat baths between and during pulls, being left for a week to sit without any solvent and also various pulls using LPD and HPD before this final Heptane pull).

Bro thats damn fine work. All Im getting in the latter pulls is fluffy non crystalized powder. ITs still just as active with dmt but wont make xtals.

Im super impressed your last pull was with heat and came out looking that good. Do you think adding more lye and letting it sit without solvent for a week would give similar results as your getting for the last pulls?

Am most appreciative.. uberthanks hehe


I reckon so. This is pretty much what I did (as well as adding the mag-sulfate solution 2 pulls prior to leaving for a week).

I have another pull now sitting in the freezer to see how much more is left in the basified solution jars. Then one mammoth Re-X session awaits.

I will also endeavour to repeat what I did on this extraction and take full details on my next 250g, in order to fully work out yield percentages etc. Only difference is that next time the pulls will be with heptane only I reckon (though I might just grab some LPD to do a couple of early pulls), defo no HPD at all.

My next extraction will be my last one for a while, I think.. So I am gonna try to make it a real good one
