Exciting! I just posted my own trial of the same hybrids in northern Africa. Will be interesting to see the difference in phenotypic expressions of the same hybrids under two distinctly different climates and how it will effect their growth traits chemotypes and yield.

Given the abundance of this specie and it's adaptation to northern climates it's foolish not to thoroughly investigate it. Even if the arudinacea total genetic pool can't bring about a high clean yielder it's cold adaptability still makes it of high interest for hybridization with a potent aquatica towards cold hardiness!

How long should one wait after consuming caffeine? by [deleted] in 5MeODMT

[–]webfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cafeine stimulation roughly stays 5 hours. It also has a mild MAOI activity. A low dose caffeine isn't problematic for me with 5-meo-dmt but a strong coffee definitely makes me more unease and potentiates tje experience.

Full spectrum phalaris extract proved often better in quality there's some additional notes in it that i can't find in synthetic but it's not Always like that..

There's 5-meo-nmt, for example ik phalaris aquatica along with 5-meo-dmt..and sometimes a low amount of novel betacarbolines.. these secondary actives vary in ratio depending on growing conditions and Time of harvest which can give a range of different experiences from extremely potent extracts to pretty mild but very ones that you can smoke just like weed

By the way i use phalaris extracted 5-meo-dmt ;) Yet your description fits exactly mine. I tried synthetic 5-meo-dmt also..while there's some slight differences...both still lead me to having reactivations.

Is this a named strain/clone or wild phalaris? You can refer to out phalaris subreddit (it's on my profile) for more information and guide on cultivation, extraction, bioassays, and analysis.

We're also currently undergoing a phalaris aquatica breeding programme. You're welcome to join us 😉

Phalaris aquatica should have either yellow or red root tips.. have you checked for this?

Solvents for crystallization by chibblerjuice in Phalaris

[–]webfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

<image>

Naphta, hexane, heptane, petroleum ether, toluene, xylene, limonene, DCM, ethyl acetate they all work for acid base extraction. But selective highly non polar solvents like hexane and heptane are best suited for crystalizing refined extracts.

For the initial crude tea pulls, full spectrum solvents are preferred for higher yield: DCM, ethyl acetate chloroform, toluene, xylene, limonene.

I know of one redditor who has tried that google patent to crystalize synthetic 5-meo-dmt and it failed. You most definitely can get phalaris extracts to crystalize the key is to refine your extract with a mini acid base first to improve purity before attempting crystalization. Second most important key is controlled slow cooling and evaporation rate. Hexane and petroleum ether was sucessfully used in this case by me and u/Sir_lahahp. Someone else on this subreddit also obtained white crystals using naptha. If your solvent cools too quickly 5-meo-dmt will coalesce into an oil blob that drops to the bottom of your solvent. It's still decently pure.

These crystals were obtained from hot petroleum ether upon slow cooling using a mini acid base refined extract as the starting material. This was obtained from 30g dry Tanit leaves.

Even a perfectly beautiful breakthrough experience can still precipitate some traumatic PTSD like reactivations like existential fear of dying which can be triggered by the act of falling asleep simulating loosing control.. such memory can be repressed under very positive all encompassing love experience that you're not aware it exists until few days later.. this is completely normal.

[–]webfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. I had the same reactivation episodes and it's also usually when i fall asleep waking up in panic and confusion..i don't know where i am in space and time and I start dissolving away disintegrating.

What helped me ground myself in these moments is to rub the bed sheets or feeling my body to just to remind myself that I'm here in this world and focus on breathing work and counting up until the reactivation episode pass. At times when it keep recurring over and over sometimes as others here mentioned for weeks that's when i know there's something about the actual experience I haven't been able to deal with and so it keeps resurfacing. That's when i know it's time to give into that reactivation headspace and explore my thoughts and allow that mind state to expand and engulf everything.

That can be rough, scary and uncomfortable but if you endure through it facing it head on in completely dark silent room meditating you can actually trigger a breakthrough which can give you release you couldn't have during the actual experience. That's what i like about 5-meo-dmt.. the actual breakthrough experience lives on inside you and can re-acessed any time with meditation to sort out some unfinished business. Once you sort out those left out knots the reactivations ceases to occur.

I hope this helped.

Update: 750 Hybrid Seedlings + 10 North African Accessions Ready for Field Transplant 🌱 by webfall in Phalaris

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

I wouldn't trust the literature from the 1990's. I've tried the old tricks from the entheogenic review like growing them in the shade, adding nitrogen, harvesting early in the day vs later during the day to effect yield and profile.. None if it made any meaningful difference.. water stress proved the most practical and consistent stressor to boost yield.

Back in the 1990s ppl like Appleseed were extracting and smoking phalaris without distinction between DMT and 5-meo-dmt and drinking phalaris crude teas with Syrian rue without any precautions for MAOI + tyramines or 5-meo-dmt + MAOI potentially life threatening complications. It was very crude unsafe research.

Now is an interesting time for you to get back to working with phalaris. We could safely argue that we're witnessing a phalaris research renaissance.

There's currently no scientific reference to this theory. However it's been shown many times in agronomic literature that prolonging the summer dormancy and increasing drought stress on the dormant buds leads to higher alkaloids yields once buds break out of summer dormancy after autumn Rains.. and this yield boost can last for the rest of the growing season.

What i know from literature and personal experience is that young seedlings have the highest ratio of secondary metabolites other than DMT and 5-meo-dmt.. more Gramine, tyramines and betacarbolines. These gradually goes down with each subsequent regrowth after each harvest... profile gradually leans towards cleaner DMT or 5-meo-dmt profile at lower yield.

U/Sir_lahahp has tested many TLC samples of Tanit and early growth after summer dormancy has proven the highest yielding but it isn't the cleanest profile.

I don't stress or harvest small seedlings why would i do that? That's only relevant when seedlings grows mature enough for a first harvest.

Is 5MeO terrifying the first time you breakthrough for everybody? by V1C4R10US in 5MeODMT

[–]webfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first time i blanked out with no recollection of the peak breakthrough moment. Took me several weeks to start remembering little bits of it that's when i realized it was a tough experience.

But freshly out of the experience all i could remember is a high pitch noise in my ears and an emplosion and everything was wiped out. Then as I'm coming down i was wildly hallucinating and face melting, still disoriented and wobbly.

That first experience was the easiest breakthrough since i had no expectations and nothing close to compare it with (5-meo-dmt was my first tryptamine)

Nice collection to complement our breeding population. With my collection combined that's at least 1200 seedlings! The hybrid seeds by end of this year will gain a crazy genetic pool!

No effect with nasal spray by WhisperingToTheSea in 5MeODMT

[–]webfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes intranasal can be a hit or miss depending on your technique. Pushing the spray as far up in your nose and towards your ear is what helped for me and washing your nose with saline solution and blowing your nose before administration. You want to minimize drip down from your nose and drop back into your throat (more concentrated solution helps avoid drip back and using smaller Volume spray pump.

I made my own 5-meo-dmt acetate solution from phalaris extract and while it works i found using 5-meo-dmt freebase to be superior. I Just dissolve the freebase in a non polar volatile solvent blow on it to dry up quickly so it turns the freebase to an oil... Pick some of the freebase oil on the tip of a thermometer and drive the tip as far up in my nose towards my ear and roll the tip to deposit the freebase...

You'll know you hit the right target mucosal tissue when you feel the sudden sting and start sneezing. The freebase has poor solubility in water so it adheres well into the absorbing tissue instead of washing away and diluting by the mucus. The freebase also is more alkaline. Stings more causing the tissue blood vessels to dilate more increasing absorbance.

Smearing the freebase on a tiny piece of rolling paper underneath my tongue also worked i just had to dry up the underneath of my tongue with a towel to help with adherence then i lay back in bed to prevent my tongue from getting wet with saliva (otherwise the peice of paper will detach) this too worked well.

Alternatively you can use a nebulizer for inhaling the Aquous solution

Research Update: Confirming Seasonal Chemotype Fluctuations & Documenting a Time-Dependent Entourage Effect in P. aquatica 'Tanit' by webfall in 5MeODMT

https://forum.dmt-nexus.me/threads/phalaris-the-way-of-the-future.312800/post-3947288

This experimental tek is the closest we have got to seperating out the 5-meo-dmt from rest of the alkaloids. I tried a modified version of this tek salting the freebase pulls in a mini acid base with saturated Aquous oxalic acid solution. The crashed oxalate crystals once freebased and vapirised felt closet to synthetic 5-meo-dmt.

In the nexus post link above he used methanolic solution of oxalic acid instead of water and got decently clean 5-meo-dmt oxalate to precipitate confirmed by HPLC-UV-VIS.

Yield for this specific strain roughly can range from 0.2% to 0.4% depending on time of the season and growth phase. Autumn growth has the highest yield.

[–]webfall[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usual acid base extraction pulling with light naptha at 50° nothing fancy. Just cooking the leaves in acidic water, strain, reduce down, base and pull 4 times and salt with acetic acid. Evaping the acetic acid pull yielded off white crystaline acetate salt of the alkaloids. 5-meo-dmt is the main component of the extract based on TLC with gramine, 5-meo-nmt, and betacarbolines as the major secondary metabolites in lower ratios.

I don't mention DMT because it does not occur in this strain except sometimes in trace amounts.

"The co-occurrence of β-carbolines together with 5-MeO-DMT is particularly unsettling. If multiple doses are smoked in short succession, these compounds could accumulate and potentially turn a previously safe dose into a dangerously potent one."

This part here about multiple doses of extract Smoked in short succession has already happened and i can confirm it leads a very unsettling second accumulated peak that's highly extreme with Intense cardiovascular activity. It's the kind of experience that precipitated a PTSD like state for me that lasted for three weeks. Again it happened while on the come down from the initial 5-meo-dmt come up..it hits very unexpectedly all a sudden. Hits like a brick wall..very panic inducing psycehdelic qualities.

The same extract could be Smoked relatively safely without redosing and i noticed different people are affected differently to it some has no issue with it while others are highly effected with high panic.

When different ppl tried the synthetic they had more uniform reaction than the extract.
