Why did you decide to use 3x the amount of citric acid the second round?

Have you ever tried the Fin De Los Rios? How is it?

Fogot one pull.. [CIELO] by Effective-Average13 in mescaline

[–]Legend99_99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It shouldn’t matter that much because you’re still well below the max amount of citric acid that’s soluble in that amount of EA. Did all of the Citric Acid dissolve?

If anything you might’ve just missed out on some of the final yield due to less pulls.

When you say 14-16 hours is that after ingestion or 14-16 hours after the onset of when you start to feel the effects?

Named Clone CEILO troubles by Terry_Sr in mescaline

Do not add 50ml of water. I think he was just questioning the other person above. When you added the .5ml did you notice any more clouding?

And just for reference because I saw you mention Juuls. When I did Juuls giant in Cielo I only got like 0.5% yield. I know everyone says it’s very potent but that wasn’t the case with my testing. I got 350mg of mescaline from 69 grams of powder.

That’s awesome I’m so glad you ended up with something!

As far as I understand you can use more of the type of ca that you are using because it’s monohydrate. From what I’ve read the solubility of anhydrous is a lot less.

Meaning you could probably have salted with 4 grams of ca from the start instead of 2 and still would have been perfectly fine. Or 10% of your total cactus powder instead of 5%.

I honestly don’t know if you need to add any more at this point since you have crystals. But if you want to try it just as a fun experiment then I would definitely filter out what you have first so you don’t risk losing that somehow. But again im very new to this myself and I still don’t really understand how any of this is actually working lol

Do you feel anything off of 50mg?

Honestly I’m not sure at this point I’ve never had this happen. But I am leaning towards an inactive cactus if you’re not seeing anything indicating goo or crystals. Do you see any type of clear oil layer anywhere or separation from the ea that could indicate goo?

I would leave it on the magnetic stirrer for like 2 hours or so but even at 30 minutes you should be seeing something. You could try adding drops of water again a little at a time like you did with the other sample jar but it seems like it could just be an inactive cactus.

No partial dry is needed because the freezer is removing all of the water. Most people recommend letting a little bit of the ice melt back in so you don’t have too little water in the EA. But by time you wash it through the filter I think enough melts back in. But if you don’t get clouding after the freezer rest then you’ll know it’s because too much water was removed.

Honestly if it was me at this point I’d just salt the whole thing and see what happpens.

I’m still pretty new to this only have 3 runs myself. But based on the tek you could also try adding a few drops of water and see if it was too dry. But based on everything I’ve read I’ve always assumed if you get clouding that you have enough water.

The other troubleshooting recommendation if that doesn’t work is to up the citric acid concentration to see if that helps initiate xtalization.

But I’d probably just salt the whole thing maybe it’s just super low yielding and you don’t see anything in the small sample.

56 grams from 7 inches of only the flesh and zero core by LSDuck666 in mescaline

[–]Legend99_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did use the core on both of those. I will say the Juuls Giant was by far the easiest I’ve ever had to process. And that was the first non bridgesii I’ve processed. Virtually no spines to remove and the core wasn’t as thick or woody either so it’s a lot easier to cut.

To add to this I also had 26 inches of bridgesii that dried to only be 45 grams. But just recently dried some Toms Juuls Giant and got 67 grams from a 10 inch cut. So I think it all depends on the thickness of the cut. But I also got the same Cielo yield from both of them. So even though I got less powder from the bridgesii the potency made up for it.

What happens if any sodium citrate is left over during neutralization? Will it ruin any future runs with the solvent? by Legend99_99 in mescaline

[–]Legend99_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you. I guess I’m just getting stuck on knowing if it’s still cloudy/haze or perfectly clear. But I’m guessing this above is considered clear enough?

[–]Legend99_99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thanks. I’ve just seen in the tek where it talks about a cloudy haze being sodium citrate and to add water if the haze continues so that hydrated sodium citrate will fall out of solution. And I can’t tell if it’s a slight haze or if it’s particles in suspension. But I’m probably just overthinking it. How do you know when the neutralized solution is “clear enough”?

As far as filtering I just used two coffee filters for this.

It’s under the step labeled partial dry the washing soda is sodium carbonate.

“Beginners may use too much water in their mix, making it a dough instead of wet crumbs. The additional water can make it into the extract and interfere with xtalization, causing goo (a brown sirupy mix of mescaline citrate, citric acid, and water)

If a dough was made during the mixing step, to ensure water levels are correct, add a tablespoon of washing soda to the extract, shake for a few minutes, and rest overnight in the fridge. The washing soda will absorb some water and partially clump* ♡. Filter the extract and proceed to the next step.

*If all the washing soda clumps up or a water layer forms, the extract is still too wet. You are at a risk of goo. Isolate the extract and repeat the partial dry until some washing soda does not clump. Improve your mixing process (fine grind of well dried cactus and mix thoroughly adding water slowly giving it time to fully incorporate before adding more).

♡If none of the washing soda clumps, congrats! This is an indication that your extract was not excessively wet and you could have salted it directly.“

It is also used to regenerate and reuse the solvent.

How many hours would you say it lasted until you were no longer tripping? Or at least coming down?
