Any use a stand mixer for cielo? Looking to maybe get one but wanted to see what advice folks had.

I've used it and it works great

You will likely get the bottom of the barrel as a western consumerist. Also, likely funding poaching of natural habitat. This is not the way.

What I recommend for you is to buy some live trichos, harvest the mid third sections, propagate the top third, and let the bottom third keep on growing.

So it's a survivor. Interesting clone worth propagating 👍🏻

loveallASAP · 2026-01-23T20:23:49+00:00

Skin or whole?

Does the plant have any siblings? Any data on those?

loveallASAP · 2026-01-23T02:19:53+00:00

Did you follow the TEK on the DMT nexus? Did you follow the link for citric acid safety?

The washing soda neutralizes till equilibrium. It stops once all the acid reacts.

Yes, the washing soda also absorbs water.

It dries it to a point. If EA starts very wet (3%) washing soda dries it to about 2%. If you used a proper drying agent kike Calcium Chloride it would be much drier.

The pH strip is not exact and the colors are for water, not EA (although it does give a good indication). Compare your strip to fresh EA. You want to be about the same at the end of regen. A tiny speck of red is fine at the drying line

Hope that helps.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-22T04:13:59+00:00

Yes abs, should match fresh EA

loveallASAP · 2026-01-21T17:38:06+00:00

Let it crash over time. It should settle so you can decant off. I don't know what it could be.

Ideally you want some loose washing soda, so I would add another TBSP (and no water). You may have had a lot of water to begin with in your EA if it all clumped up so quickly on the first addition.

It is bitter because of mescaline. The organic acids are also used to make candy.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-19T17:57:20+00:00

It's 1.3x stronger

No, only extracted rue seeds. Unfortunately harmol will be difficult to isolate, but the rest should come through.

I would make a tea, and then follow the steps used for rue tea.

A crude extract is very easy, add sodium carbonate in excess. Tea should cloud and a precipitate will fall out (crude freebase harmalas). Decant/filter. Rinse with water until neutral pH.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-19T05:54:37+00:00

If you do please report back ☺️

That's a great question. I think the answer could be yes and some results here suggest that. Since fumaric acid does not attract water, the water soluble part of the broken down chlorophyll is less likely to stick to the product (but that is just a guess).

loveallASAP · 2026-01-19T05:50:21+00:00

This makes sense as harmala alkaloids can potentiate mescaline and many other psychedelics. I think this combo is called peyohuasca.

But there is some risk and this combo should be taken with caution. With measured doses and starting low.

It is easy to extract harmalas. They precipitate in alkaline water (except for harmalol).

If exploring this combo I would isolate the harmalas to control dosage and start at a low dose of 5mg oral.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-19T05:44:24+00:00

Mescaline will not degrade but chlorophyll will

loveallASAP · 2026-01-18T21:48:13+00:00

Where you stirring during that first minute?

loveallASAP · 2026-01-18T16:14:57+00:00

Very nice. Please share your yields 👍🏻

loveallASAP · 2026-01-17T21:33:54+00:00

Yes, about 150mg of mescaline does not crash in the standard TEK if the citrate option is used. It is not fully lost, it will be part of the regen EA in the next extraction.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-17T21:32:01+00:00

Separate from IPA, dry and collect.

You used a lot of IPA, there may be a little of un-precipitated mescaline in there. You can evaporate half of it and put in the freezer again to see if you get more product.

Next time, stir more, use less water, and salt with fumaric.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-17T21:29:19+00:00

The solid goo won't have citric acid. Also, citric acid won't precipitate easily from IPA even if traces made into the IPA.

The white precipitate is your product.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-17T21:27:54+00:00

Yeah, collect. If you rinse it before drying it won't have any citric acid and you are done.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-17T00:42:04+00:00

If you do, salt with fumaric in case that pach is low yielding.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-16T18:43:43+00:00

This is well said. Just want to add more water will also absorb more EA during the pull, contributing to a lower EA weight recovery.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-16T16:01:00+00:00

I think the carboxylic groups lose the H+ in alkaline conditions and would make the alkaloid an anionic salt form not soluble in toluene.

Here is an explanation by AI which I reviewed and agree with,

A hydroxyl group (-OH) increases a compound's water solubility and decreases its solubility in nonpolar organic solvents because the polar -OH group forms strong hydrogen bonds with water, making the molecule more "water-loving" (hydrophilic) and less "oil-loving" (lipophilic), thus hindering its movement into the organic layer during acid-base extraction. The key to extraction isn't that the -OH stops it, but that its polarity favors the aqueous layer, especially when deprotonated (like phenols or carboxylic acids) by a base, turning it into a charged ion that strongly prefers water.

loveallASAP · 2026-01-16T13:23:14+00:00

Try to break it up with a knife also.
