This is exactly what I did for my first extraction, except I took it even farther and used a full pound of bark (~454 grams, I never actually measured it) with a pound of NaOH. I tried doing the whole thing in one 80oz glass jar with ~2000cc's water, but it ended up being way too thick so I had to separate it into 2 80oz jars with +2000cc's water each. I also had a wicked emulsion that formed on it, but I simply sucked the emulsion layer out into a separate jar and added sea salt+lye+water and the emulsion disappeared. I ended up doing 5 pulls on each jar with about 200ml of naphtha for each pull. The individual naphtha pulls from each jar were combined then evaporated. I just kept doing pulls until the yield significantly dropped (pulls 1-4 yielded above 1 gram each time, pull 5 was ~500mg). I ended up yielding ~7.05 grams of barely yellow DMT.
Smaller batches do have their conveniences over big ones, and big batches have some convenience over small ones, I think its just personal choice. Someone feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong, or if you have better advice.
Good luck cosmic butterfly (love the name BTW)
Peace, and Love.
“Surrender is inner acceptance of what is without any reservations. If you have lived long enough, you will know that things “go wrong” quite often. It is precisely at those times that surrender needs to be practiced if you want to eliminate pain and sorrow from your life.”
