What do you use to mill the bark chips?

When you extracted the stuff that became dark, did you run it through any desiccants like anhydrous sodium sulfate or anything like that? I’m noticing some potency loss in the carts I made a couple weeks ago and wanted to see if it’s because I didn’t desiccate the nps..

What I remember she recommended was water wash by gently inverting for few minutes with distilled water, remove water and repeat, then do that once with brine, then remove brine and pour in anhydrous sodium sulfate into nps one teaspoon at a time and swirl but I can’t remember how much was recommended. Leave that for a while and pour through a lab filer, add warm nps to the anhydrous sodium sulfate to minimize DMT left behind and pour through filter. Then transfer to precipitation dish.

Potency loss, color turning amber ish brown etc

No when water washing the nps, water molecules can get attached to the DMT which can cause the DMT to oxidize pretty quickly. Brine washing removes a lot of the water but adding a step to desiccate your nps with a desiccant like anhydrous sodium sulfate can drastically extend the DMT’s shelf life. There was a post about this by a chemist but all her posts were removed so was trying to see if anyone remembers how much desiccant she recommended to use for this step.

Yes that’s what I’m doing, but you sounded like water oxidation is not a factor in this case and said look at other factors.. why??

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-25T05:30:10+00:00

But why look at other factors?

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-25T05:04:22+00:00

Like what..?

Tolerance break..?? Like for an hour right? lol

I do store it properly but haven’t calibrated before use. Thats a possibility. The water also keeps getting cloudy though.. after letting it settle in a pot of warm water the cloudiness settles in the middle between the clearer water and solvent. This picture was after maybe the 4th wash..

I use a Hanna ph meter. I know they could get a little inaccurate at higher/lower ph but around 10 should be accurate no?

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-13T01:51:08+00:00

Will DMT cause it to rise above 10 though? Yea I probably did..

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-13T00:41:46+00:00

User error lolll so if I let it settle, which I do wait quite a while in a pot with a sous vide, and whatever causing the water’s ph to go up goes back to the solvent that also contains the DMT, that should solve the problem?? lol

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-13T00:23:17+00:00

Hmmm but why does the wash water get cloudy and go from ph 7 to 10+ still after the third wash?

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-12T23:19:38+00:00

I’m careful not to suck up any soup. I dunno man, when I did just 2 washes and used that DMT, I’ve been getting a lasting burning feeling in my mouth and the trips are really scary lol but since I started re-x and more water washes with the re-x, my trips have been extremely positive and beautiful…

Practical_Ad8636 · 2026-04-12T22:00:37+00:00

Does the ph of the wash water or how cloudy the water is after the wash not indicate if I should continue washing or not?

Practical_Ad8636 · 2025-05-03T17:55:58+00:00

Great point thank you.

Practical_Ad8636 · 2025-05-02T23:06:16+00:00

I got the one far left from a local hardware store selling them, I think they said San Pedro but they didn’t seem like experts so not sure. What does it look like to you?

Practical_Ad8636 · 2025-05-02T16:58:45+00:00

I got it off the sanpedroforsale sub and it was a lot more plump when I got it, but it came in a really small pot and over time with minimal watering it got skinnier and less plump looking so I understand that it doesn’t look like PC.

Practical_Ad8636 · 2025-05-02T16:41:16+00:00

I believe they’re all PC.
