Hey guys, my latest batch isnt going correctly, and i think i may know why. i did the lazymans tek and got a great result the first time, but this time i mixed the bark with the water BEFORE putting lye in, and i'm thinking that may have converted all the DMT, as the solution was steaming hot... i put naphtha in and stirred for half an hour and let it sit for 24 hours covered, then i did the freez precipitation. some crystals formed, but not nearly as many as there should be.. havent tried just letting it evaporate yet, but i will.. any suggestions?

Whatever you do, dont toss out anything!
Someone will be here to help soon.

Keep pulling until it no longer yields, should be fine. Exothermic reactions do occur and they aren't anything to worry about.

Just remember to evaporate half your naptha or more before freezing, as to saturate the solution. Alkaloids crash easier this way.

That doesn't sound at all like it's wasted. DMT doesn't degrade at 50-70 °C and I highly doubt the solution got hotter than this. As the other posters already said: saturate your solution and keep doing pulls, you will get the results you want.

thanks guys, i put it straight in the freezer so i know what not to do now.. thanks!!

So I have it in a glass dish with an industrial fan blowing to help it evaporate now, then I'll put it in the freezer over night and if there's anywhere near as much as there was last time in it, I should have around 40 doses

Good luck man, I once made that silly mistake and it actually did cost me my batch. It was boiling hot and coagulated into a thick black hot syrup. Nothing came out of the pulls, but it was only a small test batch. You'll probably get something out of a batch like that

So it was in the freezer for 5 hours, and there's quite a few crystals now... should I let it stay longer or empty the naphtha now?
