First person I believe who has mentioned ultrasonic in thread if I’m correct. I’ve been curious about the yield for ultrasonic after seeing the ice cube tek on fresh harvest material and then seeing an ultrasonic manufacturer claiming a cold water extraction.
The ice cube tek in general reminds me of some tek folllowing the dead for tea that I saw used on fresh for margaritas but alas Ill go way off topic boomer style talking about that further…
Also curious if anyone has done any 300-400nm blue light testing on mycelium as its been a reddit craze trying to use blue light for pinning and higher yield. While I’m doubtful fruit bodies would actually benefit the fact that actives don’t show up in mycelium until exposed to light makes me wonder if while the fruit bodies aren’t necessarily effected the mycelium may very well benefit.
the psilo extract when done from albinos is more of a gold color than orange.
seems like coincidence that it happens to be the same color. I’m leaning towards it being a pigment though. as I can get clear and colorless trehalose to crash on its own.
DiNKLB3RG how have you been dehydrating your extractions? vacuum dessicated in the rotovap or vacuum dessicater? Are the big rocks dephosphorlated in acetic acid?
I’ve never gotten it to become that dry in the rotovap. Most of the methanol carriers over at 25°c and the last residual methanol is driven off at 32°c max. This leaves an extract thicker than thc distillate and once cool is firm but malleable.
How are you getting it so dry? Time,temp?
Which method of desiccation do you prefer.
Have you considered that maybe his extract isn’t drier than yours, maybe it’s got more impurities that give it more structure than your methanol extracts
I tried extracting w 190proof ecerclear a bunch of the trimming of the stalks…got nothing but a grey substance that stinks of shrooms. I let It soak for free days before filtering and attempting to dewax
try a shorter warm soak…then filter as it comes to room temp. the gray is likely fats+starches that precipitate out. they are often the impurities left behind in the roto. see pics
