I am atempting my first DMT extraction. I have decided on Phalaris. I know most argue for Mimosa Hostilis but I do not have ready access. In preparation for the extraction I have sampled several differant methods (Yoda's, Mescalito Ted's, QT's #1&2, DMT World...). I want the purest and most potent product.
My question concerns PH. I am aware that PH is the most important aspect of a good extraction. I have seen reports that say proper PH levels differ slightly for differant materials. I have noticed that Mimosa is basified to 11 or 12, whereas Phalaris is usually 9 or 10. But I am getting ahead of myself.
In the "QT" extractions, both for Phalaris and Mimosa, concentrations for solutions are given, but when it comes to creating the salts they simply say "cover the material." In the "DMT World" and "Mescalito Ted versions," you are instructed to simply add acid until the PH of the mixture lowers to 5. My first question concerns wether 5 is the ideal PH for salt creation in Phalaris? If your PH was lower would more salts be created/extracted? If the PH is lower than 5 are more undesirable elements introduced to the Mixture?
I also plan to perform several defating extractions. I understand that Naptha is best for this, where DCM is better for the final extraction, is this true?
As to basifying. My question concerns the best PH for Phalaris. Is a PH of 9 or 10 best for Phalaris, where a more basic PH of 10-11 is better for Mimosa? I Know that basifying to much is destructive to the process, but in order to make the purest and most potent product I would like to Know.
Thanx to anyone taking the time to read my message and help me out. Any other tips or knowledge would be appreciated, I am in surch of the best shit.
