Hello brothers and sisters. How is everyone this beautiful rainy morning

I'm about to get started on my first extraction using...

2nd 100g Extract - STB

This is whats confusing me...Please and thank you for any help or info provided...

"SWIM measured out his naptha (~75mL per pull) and added to jug. then he rolled end over end 3-4 times per pull for 2 minutes and let separate. (next time he will use much less naptha..)"

this has me a little confused.

So this is my understanding in a nut shell.

1500ml water:~100 grams mhrb:~100 grams of lye in milk jug. (not in that order...water lye first add bark.)

mix until clears up or continue if it remains cloudy.

add 100 grams of bark (measured on a scale)

heat up naptha in warm water bath

then this is where I'm confused....

How long does one roll it for? (It says 3-4 times for 2 minutes but really that slow of a roll?

How long after the roll do you let it set to separate (I assume until it looks separated but whats a good rule of thumb?)

then how much less Naptha do you add for the second pull and do how much longer do you let it set for? Then how much less each time should I lesson the naptha?

They way read how swig wrote it is that one rolls it end over end 3-4 times really slow for 2-3 minute then allow the mix to separate...

so does roll that slow or I would think a good 10 rolls would be nice...not fact but just one over another another.

How many pulls does one avg? (I've seen some just do three but I've seen others continue until the bark stops yielding anything)

Thanks for taking the time to read this and reply.

Cannabinoids.

I usually do 3 pulls and average 1.5%. By the time you get to the 4th pull your naphtha is noticeably more yellow and i always yielded a gunky and waxy product. But if you want to take the time to clean it up go for it.

Turn the jar end over end and or roll it back and forth on the floor, for 5-10mins, wait for the layers to separate. And repeat 2 more times.

The time it takes for the layers to separate, i think depends on the ratio of ingredients used and type of ingredients used. For instance, I used to use more water and tap water and it took much longer

I never bother with heating up the naphtha, usually my soup is still pretty warm from the lye.

Thank you very much. This helped.
