I introduce myself, I am a psilocyman, a great pleasure to have been able to find this place.
I am an "empirical chemist" I have never studied chemistry but I really like to read, learn and experiment.
I have been using xanga and mushrooms for 4 years, I have been doing the dmt extraction process for 1 year, I speak Spanish and in my language there is very little information, so I reiterate that it is a blessing to find this space and have all of you.
I will quickly tell you my process:
It has always been STB, but I have several questions since I have read the tek of lazyman and noman and I have also been reading something in the forum.
I have always used 100G MHRB extracts.
My proportions have always been -100 G MHRB
-100 G NaOH
-700 ml distilled water
This time I come across 500G of MRHB for the first time.
Reading on the forum I saw this:
What ratio of MHRB:
bleach lye: water is the best?
For STBs, 1 g of MHRB: 1 g of
bleach lye: 15 ml of water is generally accepted as a good ratio.
So according to this, my previous process of 100 G MRHB x 100 G NaOH and I used 700 ml of distilled water according to those proportions I was lacking water, okay that is clear to me.
But I see something in the lazyman tek that makes me curious.
"Break a pound or 454g of dried Mimosa Hostilis root bark into small pieces so that no pieces are longer than three inches, allowing them to fit well in the bottom of a large 5-liter mixing bowl with plenty of extra room leftover and voila on the side.
Prepare some basified water by completely dissolving 200 g (~ 13 measured tablespoons) of NaOH powder in 2 L of tap water in a large measuring cup.
Add the basified water you just made to the container of broken root bark, stir for a few minutes, and set aside for two or more hours (longer is better).
The proportions used would be for 500 G MHRB x 500 G NaOH x 7500 ML distilled water. But he only uses instead of 500 G of NaOH he uses only 200 for 500 G of MHRB and the water should be 7500 ml while he recommends using 2 L would be missing 5 liters for the proportion. Noman tek on the other hand follows those "standard proportions that I saw in the forum" he says the following: Extraction procedure Mix 15 ml of water and 1 g of
bleach lye per gram of bark in the mixing container. For example: 50 g of bark would require 750 ml of water and 50 g of
bleach lye. And I add something that they put in the remarks: Kerberos would like to add to the advice given by Entropmancer: following Nomans tek and comments regarding 1.5x water needed for activated root bark and Entropmancer advice on using less naphtha per extraction. SWIM used 50 g of root bark in 750 ml of water and 75 g of NaOH, then SWIM used .6 ml of naphtha per gram of bark So here it is even going from the ratio of 100 x 100 bone 50 MHRB x 750 x 75 g of NaoH. Sorry to write so much but you do not know how I long for someone with more experience to help me in these mental holes. What are the proportions for which I should opt for a 500 G MHRB STB extraction, how much
bleach lye should I use? How much water do you recommend for 500 G MHRB? Finally, can someone recommend a process to remove any trace of
bleach lye and any trace of naptha? I say this because I have never cleaned my dmt, it is for my brother and me. And my brother smokes more than I do and I'm starting to worry about the way my brother wants to smoke my dmt and maybe he has some residual
bleach lye or naptha in it. Thank you in advance friends for receiving me!

Mod edit: replaced "bleach" with "lye" for harm avoidance purposes. It seems their could be an issue with term 'lye' in Spanish-speaking countries. It may be a good idea to look into ways in which this could be addressed: see post below.]
