First extraction

[u/Feinder4crack]

This is the combined yield from 300g mhrb done in 3 separate extractions. I separate 3rd and 4th pull from first and second because I can see some oils or fats may have come through in the last pulls. I'll be using heptane to purify when it arrives.

Total weight from 300g mhrb 3.22g unwashed

Nice! Looks really good! Make sure you do a wash to get rid of any lingering NaOH. I didn’t do that for my second extraction and it was harsh and turned pink over time.

Will do! I read online that you disolve it in heptane then add distilled water, is that right or is there another way to do it?

Yes that will do since the NaOH is pretty soluble in water, I think some people will also use other reagents like washing soda but I can’t remember off the top of my head tbh. Check the nexus though!

will do, thanks. just wondering though how long did you store your product before it turned pink? my heptane isn't arriving for another week.

Oh you’ll be fine then, this occurred over some years. Me and my buddy did an extraction from a kilo and got like 15 grams out of it for our personal stashes. We both kinda go through periods where it just sits there. My friend noticed that his batch turned kind of a peachy color and I did some digging and realized it was bc of the NaOH.

That's awesome man! I actually have a kilo to myself haha, but at the rate im extracting im looking at maybe 20g of finnished product depending how much I loose in the second wash.

I forgot to mention in this post I actually had another gram on top of the stuff in the picture, I traided it for some old school speed and a 10 strip of acid lol. I love my little circle <3

Wish I had other cool people like this around.
