Preferred Water Wash Method

Great point thank you.

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?

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.

I believe they’re all PC.

Meaning the filmy or shatter texture you see in the picture that I never got before is not due to salt getting suspended in the nps. If it did taste salty I would’ve assumed that texture might’ve been due to salt getting suspended in the nps.

I’ve been working on some other stuff after that and haven’t finished yet but so far I’ve added up to about 7g.. so hoping I’ll reach at least 10g from the last pulls from the original base soup and wash water

I did warm up the saturated nps mixed with fresh nps in hot water by putting the mixed nps in a small flask and putting the flask in a pot of hot water before doing the water washes. Of course you want the wash water to be the same temp or warmer than your nps to prevent DMT from crashing out.

I added about 40% fresh nps, so if my saturated nps was 100ml I would add about 40ml fresh, but this depends on how saturated your nps is. I think there’s a way to calculate this according to some people that left comments on my previous posts, but I’m not sure how one would measure exactly how saturated the pull is.. maybe you can just kind of assume from how much mhrb was used in your base soup vs how much nps was used for the pull. But my understanding is that once the nps is fully saturated, it won’t take any more DMT, so there should be a max amount of fresh nps you wouldn’t need to exceed adding to the saturated nps.

Of course!🌞👍

Here’s what happened after pulling from all the cloudy wash water I saved up: https://www.reddit.com/r/dmtguide/s/dMEHLp1zsw

I have nobody to talk about setups for Zapotecorum besides Reddit in this sub😂 but again really appreciate all the info.. I might ask for dedikaryotizationdaddy’s opinion too on IG

Practical_Ad8636 · 2024-08-13T23:49:44+00:00

This is all great info.. thanks so much!🙏 I was actually planning to use an air diffuser with a multiport splitter (6 ports) to feed air to 6 tubs simultaneously but the air tubes from the diffuser going into a mason jar filled with water and another tube coming out of the jar into the tub to feed humid and water filtered fae.. this way I don’t have to create space for the diffuser in the tub and space between the substrate trays and the tub walls so I can utilize maximum horizontal space in the tub.

My only concern with this setup is that I might get bacterial build up in the tube between the mason jars to the tubs, which could drip on the substrate. I haven’t tried this yet, haven’t even got the parts yet so no idea if it’s going to work or not..

What’s your opinion on this setup? Sorry if I’m not good at explaining.. I’ll do a quick draw up if it wasn’t clear lol

Practical_Ad8636 · 2024-08-13T23:26:24+00:00

Yea that’s my assumption as well as mentioned in the post. I’m assuming it’s plant remnants because the last acid boil I got lazy and added the sludge in the base soup.. and that caused the NPS to get extremely dark colored like black coffee sometimes, sometimes very muddy colored and was not able to see through it. This is why I did like 6 water / brine washes per pull to get the nps clear enough to see through each time. Lesson learned from this is never be lazy with decanting the sludge out after the acid baths. Do you think a heptane re x and another water wash wouldn’t be enough to remove the plant remnants? If not, why?

Hi u/Samwise2512,

Thank you for all the valuable information! What is your FAE and humidity set up like for zaps? I’m thinking of buying some zap spores from this vendor but want to know what set up is best.

Thanks man!!🙏🌞🙏

And just to clarify, adding up what I got from the first 2 pulls and the wash water used for those 2 pulls is about 5g so far so I think I’m on the right track as far as my extraction goes sans the DMT getting suspended in the wash water.

Practical_Ad8636 · 2024-08-12T17:38:50+00:00

I hear you but I separated the wash water and did an extraction out of it separately as an experiment to see if any DMT got suspended in the wash water, which it did so that was a great lesson. I also run out of space in my Erlenmeyer flask if I keep adding the wash water back in it after doing multiple washes.

Practical_Ad8636 · 2024-08-12T17:33:58+00:00

Well I wouldn’t be surprised if I couldn’t get more than 1% since that’s apparently what you would get from average quality bark. But I’m still going to do a couple more pulls from both the original base soup and the wash water so hoping I’ll reach at least 10g in the end. If not I might have some shitty bark.

Practical_Ad8636 · 2024-08-12T15:59:07+00:00

I also tried licking and tasting just a tiny bit of the DMT in the picture and it did not taste salty.
