It's basically a typical non-polar/polar extraction tek, nothing wild.

Do a naptha wash, so add napta until 5cm above the seeds.
So discard the naphtha and keep the solids??? Here or add the IPA or acetone to the naphtha and pull off the IPA or acetone and keep to evap I don't get this please explain
In every wash, you add the naphtha, shake, let it soak a little, and the strain off the naphtha again.

Repeat step 2 [4x] (for votka and everclear), [10x] (for acetone and IPA)
So with acetone or IPA even though stronger than votka and everclear either wash after washed with naphtha then discarded and with solids wash with IPA and acetone like naphtha but keep the IPA or acetone for evaporation
You do these above naphtha washes several times. As acetone and IPA are better solvents and will also dissolve some unwanted stuff, you do more of the naphtha washes to get them out, before extracting with IPA or acetone, or...
I would just say, do as many naphtha washes as needed (until the naphtha evaporates without any residue).

Discard the naptha save the solids (powdered seeds)
please explain what this means from what step in what bit of the extraction exactly from what solution is it coming from and how exactly I'm not stupid but ??? Or was naphtha men't to be IPA or acetone ????
After the last straining of the naptha, let the remaining seeds mush dry off, and continue with it, all the naphtha you used for washing can be discarded (don't just let it go down then drain!)

Quote: add pure IPA or acetone for powder, everclear or vodka for liquid. Let it stand for 30
pull 2-3x
Where do I and what do I add this to and when does it mean
after doing what do I do this
Now you add the IPA or acetone to the dried seed mush coming from your naphtha wash, and let it soak for some time, to dissolve the ergolines in it.
Then strain and repeat a few times more, to get all the ergolines out. Keep the strained IPA or acetone.
If you want a simple on-the-fly non-polar/polar extraction tek, which is for immediate use, then I can recommend this tek:
A non-polar/polar extraction tek, not needing any special solventsThe whole preparation takes less than an hour time, only using food grade household "solvents":
Grinding: Grind the seeds to a fine powder, either with a coffee grinder or a high speed mixer (only use in short intervals, to not heat it up too much), or pestle the seeds into a fine mush.
Non-Polar Wash: Soak the seeds in vegetable oil (e.g. canola) for a few minutes. Strain the oil and repeat with new oil. Do this at least about 3 times. The last time, you may soak a bit longer. To increase efficiency you may heat the oil to about 40-50C.
Polar Extraction: Get some cold distilled (or just bottled) water. Add the water to the seeds and some foodgrade unproblematic acid (e.g. lemon juice), and shake at least every minute. After 5-10Mins you can strain and drink the water.
Remarks:* Some remaining oil will float on top of the water, and so you can gather and discard it. This is easiest, if you put the water in the freezer for a short time, as this will solidify the floating oil, but not yet the water.
* If you use a high speed mixer, you can do all in the mixer. E.g. throw the oil and the seeds into the mixer, grind the seeds smaller, strain the oil, add again some oil, and switch the mixer on again, etc. The mixer makes the soaking extremely efficient. Just make sure, that the water doesn't get heated up too much from the mixer. I always add some ice cubes (from distilled water) for this. The high-speed mixer has the additional advantage that it heats the oil, making the non-polar washes more efficient. But only let it get lukewarm, not hot!
* The LSH will decompose over time in the water, so drink ASAP (btw the added acid to the water will make the LSH much more stable, that's why you add the acid).
I claim not that this is the truth. As this is just what got manifested into my mind at the current position in time on this physical plane. So please feel not offended by anything I say.
