Hey there fellow psychonauts!
I am writing here, due to the fact that I did not want to make a new topic about it.
My dog practised the extraction over the last few days. It has done it before, but was a bit a while ago so i think he might have forgotten some things.
I will try to cut the story as short as possible. 50g mimiosa
The bark is shredded not powedered, because it does not have the right tools ( last time it did it it was the same and was satisfied with the yields).
1.Charlie (my dog) made the bark into strips with a coffee grinder as much as it could.
2. Then put water in it and froze/thawed it 1-2 times ( it feels like a total idiot, he read it was supposed to be done after acid step.... anyways feel like want to mention that in case it is of importance)
3.After that put the vinegar/white 6 %/ around 50ml +/- 15. Then added hot water.Left it there for a bit in a hot bath. Then realised it was too watery and took of all the excess liquid. After that Charlie thought to put a bit more vinegar (30ml). ( I told him that he had screwed a bit but still wanted to continue)
4.Added lime around 4:4 since bark was stripped but used ratios for powdered bark. ( here comes main prob he used same ratios of liquids/vinegar,water/ so the consistency was a bit mushy even with more lime. Had to blowdry it to reach a crumbly consistency( might be a bit too dry, cant tell because i have not actually seen a right consistency with stripped bark and dont really remember how last time the magic happened)
5.tried pulling twice with room temp and no hot bath = nothing (1hr after reaching consistency)
6.Pulled with around 50ml ot nps. Now with proper hot bath and heated up nps. ( around 6-7 mins with mixing every min and a half).
7. Put int in freezers. after 10 hrs removed excess nps. Then came to take it out after 1-2 hrs. Immideately blowdried it (cold from distance). Charlie could see immideately 2-3 really amazing formed crystals but were small. He wondered what might have been the cause.
I suggested that most probably is the mix (if it is too dry?!). The pulling could have been done a bit slower meaning for longer time but he told me he was a bit in a rush.
Charlie thanks you in advance guys. He is wondering if he should start all-over. But he does not want to throw away this pristine diamond and thinks that you could help him in some way.
The path is endless and fascinating, but those who know why they follow it, are never late.
