So SWIM ordered a pound of mimosa hostilis, powdered form, the package it came in called it mimosa tenuiflora which SWIM know is the same thing. So SWIM decided to do the lazyman's tek, seeing as SWIM is a lazy person. SWIM added 200g of lye to about 2.2 liters of water, poured the powder into the container, and waited about 2 days. After that SWIM added 300 or so ml of naphtha, as usual, and stirred it in a pan for like 20 minutes. then SWIM let it sit for awhile, stirred it again, let sit again, then pulled, this was all done within an hour. Well this is where everything gets a little odd, only a little layer came up, maybe 10 ml, dried it and got nothing, only a yellow layer of what SWIM presumed to be fats, so SWIM poured a SHIT-LOAD, for lack of a better word, which amounted to like 700 ml. SWIM let that sit over night and he found a layer of naphtha about 2 cm thick!!! So when SWIM went to pull this, he still didnt get ANY DMT. wtf mate? is there something we keep doing wrong? Any input would be appreciated.

Here's a few notes that may help.
* The pan we mixed it in is about 12in in diameter, and about 8-10 inches deep, nonetheless it held everything fine, here's the thing though. There is no top to the pan so we simply stirred it around...pretty intensely, instead of turning the jar. SWIM mixed it so vigorously because he believed that that amount of force was needed seeing as they are a polar and non-polar substances and the naphtha would resist the basified water.
* SWIM's friend thinks that some of the naphtha evaporated in the two days it sat and the DMT fell to the bottom. He says this because as we stir the solution around, we feel a "something" at the bottom, it feels hard and encrusted on the bottom, SWIM dont think this could happen, but what do you guys think?
* SWIM and buddies decided to do a scale, seeing as we have a jar that we can turn, only its small relative to the pan we are using, and that is brewing(?) now but there is a significant level of naphtha, say if the jar is 6 inches in diameter and about 9 inches deep, it is filled about 4 inches of the root/lye mix and about half an inch of naphtha on top. SWIM and friends are going to let the sit for a bit, pour off the naphtha into a cup and let it sit in the freezer tonight, hopefully something will happen, again, what do you guys think?

If SWIY's figures are correct, 200 milligrams (?) of Lye isn't nearly enough, not even close. SWIY is going to need around 300-500 grams of Lye for a pound of MHRB. No wonder SWIY didn't get any DMT.

appologies, i did use 200 grams, must've zoned out or something. Anything other than that though?

Well DMT shouldn't bind to glass surfaces, so SWIM doesn't think it sank (it usually floats if you have enough lye in solution). SWIY might just want to try adding more lye. 2.2 litres is a lot of fluid for only 200 grams of lye. One needs to really crank up the pH to liberate DMT into its freebase (and make sure SWIY stirs the hell out of it -- add the lye slowly though, it heats up the solution). SWIY should try a 1:1 MHRB to lye ratio, just in case. So add another 200 grams and try again. If that doesn't work, SWIY may have received bad product.

kk ill report back.

If youre lazy, i'd say q21q21's tek 2(White Fluffy) is best. It can be completed in 24 hours
