I prepped a 1.858kg log of fresh torch and weighed the separate parts - just thought it would be interesting to compare results across spp. The weights were Dark Green outer layer = 622g Lighter Green inner layer = 880g Core and Wood = 286g Skin and Spines = 70g antrocles wrote:...purity of intent....purity of execution....purity of experience...

Phluxy, is SWIY planning to dry? If so, post the results here: http://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=4475Eventually, if we get enough data like this, we could chart the results and get a nice average. Maybe we could even develop a calculator.

Great! I can then create an online calculator for it with approximate results.

49cm - 7cm(tip to tip) of Pachanoi: 1336g Total weight 969g White flesh & core 319g Green flesh 48g Outer skin & spines The strips of green flesh have been airdried at about 35C, which took 2 days. The weight of the strips dropped from 319g (wet) to 19g (dry). So thats about 6% dry matter. “The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.” -Nikolai Lenin

There is some info in Trout's Notes about this... I'll try to get it up soon. WARNING: DO NOT INGEST ANY BOTANICAL WHICH YOU HAVE NOT FULLY RESEARCHED AND CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED!!!I am Teotzlcoatl, older cousin of Quetzalcoatl. My most famous physical incarnation was Nezahualcoyotl, but I have taken many forms since the dawn of the cosmos. In this realm I manifest as multiple entities at a single time. I am many, I am numbered. I am few, but more than one. I am a multifaceted being, a winged serpent with many heads. We are Teotzlcoatl. "We Are The One's We've Been Waiting For" - Hopi Proverb

Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose = Penis plants
greenhouse grown given good organic food and ample water (fully hydrated).
30 small-medium stems of newer growth (no woody stuff) and spines removed.
fresh 575g
dried 35g
=94% water
batch 2 drying now but its also 30 stems.
fresh 677g
dried 45
=94% water
so a total of 1252 grams made 80 grams dry (almost exactly).
so about 6-6.5% of fresh cactus is the real weight of cactus (minus water) for well watered TBM.
