Hello fellow Nexians, let me start by starting at the beginning of everything.
About a week ago I started my first extraction with 150g of MHRB from maya-ethno, finely ground into powder form. I was following cyb's A/B / STB tek and was using 150-170ml of Naptha for each pull, which is debatable (been reading the boards for a while now) that that is too much. Well at the end of the 6 pulls I yielded a measly 1.1g of yellow spice. Now don't get me wrong, thats enough to get me started into the DMT universe, but the more the better amiright?
Anyways, 3-5 days later i re-invigorated my solution with some lye and salt to get the solution going again and put some naptha in the solution, pulled, and got some crystals, but when drying off in front of the fan it turned into this goo. Now I've read about the goo and that's not really my issue. My issue is I'm just curious if i can still pull some DMT out of that solution, and if its recommended to even try. Have about 200ml sitting in there for about 2 days now.. Anyways, what would be my best route to maximize my yield from this batch? This is all assuming maya-ethno sent me some pretty decent MHRB, but in any case, why not try.
What would the communities opinion be on this? I still have over half of the original naptha, some was lost in drips here and there.. so should i pool all used naptha in a container, sit in front of fan to evap until cloudy? Separate into containers and freeze precip? Should i mix it all back into solution to grab the last bit of DMT out? Then evap, then freeze? Just curious of what all you experienced Nexians (god bless the nexus) think about my situation..
Trying to pull every last milligram out of this solution seeing as the MHRB situation is where it is right now. And doesn't seem to be getting any better. (cross fingers). And finding a source for alternative sources like acacia Obtusifolia or confusia I'm finding a little difficult :/.
any help will be appreciated.

Just recrystallize the goo from your second run, as per FAQ instructions.
As for the original naphtha, evaporate it till small amount, like a fifth is left or something, and then freeze.

So the original solution has done its job? There's no more spice in there?

Make another long (couple of days with occasional mixing) long small pull. Freeze it separately. If nothing comes out, the solution is significantly exhausted so you can discard it.

1.1g for 150g is not really low yield, it's quite decent. Some bark may yield higher, some lower, but thats quite ok. Just do as much as you can, all the tips for higher yields are in the FAQ too  Good luck!
