Just experienced my first major cock up with an extraction.

Powdered and acidified bark (vinegar) Then freeze/melted it 3 times. On the last warm up the bowel fell over and got contaminated with the water in the water bath.

It wa sitting there for about 5 mins like this before I noticed, freaked out and filtered all the excess water off and put it all back in the original bowel.

I think I lost about 20-30g of bark but have no idea if I've actually stuffed it up.

I basified the paste with lye anyway, mixed it thoroughly for ten mins and have left it to sit for a day.

Can anyone chime in on how badly I may have messed up?

I would hate to have to throw 200g of good bark Sad Still, everythings a learning experience and next time I wont be quite so lazy.

I hope you didn't throw away the excess water... Anyways, nothing to worry about, either just do a liquid tek or evap all the water if you want to do a dry tek. Don't throw anything away!

Are you adding Viagra to this extraction? Laughing

What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent? Then the closest we get is through being true to and with ourselves.

Unfortunately there was about 5 litres of it (full sink) so it went down the plughole.

Looks like im gonna have to chalk this one up to experience and hope theres still some goodies left in the bark.

Lol That could be interesting but I think I'll stick with Mesc if that sort of thing is gonna be on the cards.

Did a naphtha pull, lost about 50% to the paste but thats OK as it means its the proper consistancy now. Pulled Naphtha was ever so slightly yellow, reducing it now and will report back when I have a yield.

Well, that was rather unexpected...

Once the paste had cooled down another 100-120ml of NPS came out so I added that to what I had which totalled about 85% of what I originally added.

Reduced it down to 100ml and stuck it in the freezer.

Woke up this morning, went and had a look and found this (See pics) The stuff on the filter paper was floating in the solvent but both pics are from the same pull. Its not dry yet but eyeballing it I'd say it was approx 2g.

No idea why it ended up working so well but I will be using lye instead of Lime from now on in my dry teks.

Im not sure if its worth writing up the method as its basically Q21's Vinegar/Lime tek but using lye instead and doing the full powdering and 3x's freeze/thaw on the bark.

Happy to do so though if a written up version is warranted.

E2A: Doing another pull right now but I would be very surprised if theres more than 1g in this one.

Looks good to me. Make sure you let the tiny crystals you caught in the filter to air dry more than the larger crystals from the dish as they tend to hold a bit more solvent. I've noticed those tiny xtals smelling like solvent for 20 hours before, but next day smelled like flowery DMT. Naphtha smells more than Heptane.

Water is ok to get in your soup, you just don't want water in your solvent pulls or else it won't freeze precipitate properly.

Yeah seems everything has turned out roses. My eyeballing was well off though! When I finally weighed it there was 0.75g.

The second pull has sat in the freezer overnight and there looks to be a similar amount in the dish.

Once this bark is exhausted Im gonna do a test run with a small amount of bark to try and dial the dry lye in a bit more.

Think im gonna do a Bob and declare this a happy little accident Smile
