H2O2 shown as probable cause of rapid crashing "Medusa Stone"

Ya, pretty interesting perspective to claim to know why things happen in labs she has no idea how they operate. Some people make small facets and crystallise warm and they may never notice it. I am still relatively new to the scene but I think it’s funny as fuck hearing someone say it is for lack of understanding of Solvent ratios as that is one of the reasons I have dialed my process in fairly well. Everyone all the sudden having shit sops except for you is a pretty interesting take to say the least.
I can still grow single solvent bangers, crystallisation is just definely on expert mode when you get the bad gas, it’s completely different boxes you need to check to get good diamonds than old butane required.
Here are my results fumbling through the Medusa issue in my unclean, non scientific process with my lack of understanding on Solvent ratios. :man_shrugging:

I thought her explanation was rather glib and then when I asked a few follow ups I was kicked from the feed and my account suspended.

That sounds a lot like Murphy.

Questions are an attack, legitimate critique a violation.

Is she still in Denver? Maybe Medusa doesn’t happen at altitude.

Cleaning my CLS with soap and water sounds like a pain in the ass, and I thought Murph was an advocate of “clean-in-place” processes using the same solvent. Very confused about her claims.

Also, if it IS solvent ratios (doubtfully) what ratio does she do? 3:1, 6:1, 10:1? Fuck it, 15:1, 20:1?? Or do I have to cough up $200/hr to get her opinion?

For her to feed you a line of bs

If she can do that, the hell am I doing?? Ay guys pay me $100/hr, clean your rigs with soap n water and run a 25:1 ratio guys you’ll never fast crash. Alright pay up :triumph:

Problem solved boys, pack it up we can go home.

Nah man, $200/hr.

I’ll make it up as I go, you can praise me later.

It happens at 4500ft, it actually might happen faster as the air is thinner closer to a vacuum…

What are people meaning when they refer to Medusa? Like not verry clear crystals forming and or cloudy? Just trying to get clarification on what is meant by that.

Thanks for your time new to the forum so just getting the hang of it. Cheers!

I think we discovered these hollow channel low density crystals first :thinking: :face_with_monocle:

That’s pretty crazy tbh.
