so swim used advanced nutrients ph up after considerable research, it seemed some nexans felt it was safe and advisable to use as a lye alternative, and boy just a little bit of this stuff seems to really increase the ph quickly. anyways swim has successfully completed 3 extractions previously, but he was in another region where lye/naptha was readily available, not so much here, so its bestine and ph up for swim.
ph up applied to distilled water, ph raised to about 12/13 with just a couple ml's in about 1 liter water. as MHRB was poured in a gray layer appeared and seperated from the normal dark looking MHRB layer. here's a pic, did swim over/under do something, or just flat out use the wrong stuff. No solvent poured in yet.


any ideas?

editossibly not basified enough as i thought it was?

by the way used 70 grams of MHRB and approx 8 ml's of the ph up.

i do apologize for the giant picture, its my androids fault.

boy swim feels like an idiot, he put more ph up in, and sure enough it turned the familiar color. thank you for the advice, swim was awfully scared of this new chem, hesitant to add more until a trusted nexan advised so.
Thanks nexus.
