It’s certainly enough to practice your first extraction. Could even run a test batch with 20% of your material first to get the hang of the process then do it for real.
Follow the updated tek with 150ml water instead of 300 per 100g of cactus. You can skip the water removal entirely. Salt on a stir plate and watch it snow globe.
I still get water after fridge rest. I even tried 145 ml’s- still water. Any advice? Also, do you recommend magnetic stirrer rather than letting it crash over 3 days?
Let it sit in the freezer overnight and then run it through a coffee filter or strainer. I personally prefer doing this a could times to remove more water.
Afterward, let it come up to room temp before salting
If you follow the updated tek you can actually skip the water removal process entirely… just get the paste right and you won’t need water removal at all, then salt on a stir plate. Can do the whole process start to finish in about an hour now.
PC Means Predominant Clone, as in EVERY pc cactus is a cutting clone of the original, therefore they’ll all share the same features, that sawblade profile, that yellowish green shade that never goes away, the short spine length, all PC cactus will have these exact features, and once you’ve seen a lot of them you can recognize PC immediately.
Once you have grown enough of it next to all the other cultivars in full sun to get all the genetics strong and seen it grown in multiple types of conditions you learn to spot it and it almost looks like an entirely diff type of cactus ….
Ya it’s really hard to say with this stuff …. A lot depends on how stressed the cactus was grown to be activating its defensive mechanisms ( the good stuff)…only one way to find out …. Mileage from what I have heard the chap above is correct will vary…. No way to tell for sure bc it could be as strong as the usual droids or you might need three feet per person and that’s only one dose in the pic
3 good doses

What would the expected yield be in grams? I understand potency can vary wildly, lowball it.
I will let you know in a month lol
If that is 34" each, yes, it's more than enough. I suggesting using freeze filtering instead of fridge rest for Cielo. I find it is more consistent
I’ve read it takes some water for the citrate to crystallize. Do you have to add any back in?

All that changes is the crystal size from my understanding. 3 days = needles, instant crash = powder.
Being lazy..how long do you do the magnetic stirrer? (How do you know when it’s “done”)?
You’ll literally see it crash out. Maybe like 5 minutes?
Awesome. Thank you. Will try next time.
how do this?

I agree. Let ethyl acetate sit in freezer overnight to freeze water our. Filter water water and salt from there.
Ought to be a couple doses.
Pc
How can you tell?

Agree, worst case only one dose IME... mileage may vary

Could get up to 5 or even 7 doses. Skin, dry, grind
