I stole an opportunity to sneak a quick peek into swims buddies illustrated dream diary and this is what I’ve brought back from it.
------------------------------------------------------
I know that this level of crystal farming is mere childsplay to the seasoned rock candy veterans out there but there was a time I would have been quite impressed by these so I document them here for that former self and others similar in spirit to be impressed (or not) with.
Procedure was an outgrowth of what I call Worlock’s newbee recryst method
Post 235464 (missing)
(Worlock: "Re: ReCrystalizing Chilli", Stimulants) and has been reposted by many others in various forms.
input
4 grams of “virgin top cream pulls” taken from initial titrations of a 16gram batch
125ml acetone
30ml 99% isopropanol
Crystals were allowed to initially form with the flask sitting on the hot plate as it slowly cooled. The hot plate was gently reheated twice to melt away wimpy sized fuzz and hair-like formations afterwhich it was finally left to sit without disturbance for a full 6 hours.
After this point the flask shots were taken.
Next the flask was transferred to the freezer for another 6 hours resulting in an 8ball of jumbo shards somewhat reminiscent of what is sometimes referred to as "murder".
Conclusion notes for the "duh" archives
- larger amounts increase chances of bigger crystal formation
- in this realm of experimentation the lack of patience is quite possibly your worst enemy
Aside from the central penny in the flask shots all size reference coins are either silver dollars or half dollars.
Rock candy frontier on the horizon.
