Question on the durations of extractions.
Since I’m doing a completely heatless extraction does the duration help with results? Or can long wait times cause issues, like gooey results or more impurities picked up by the nps?
I’m looking between these 2 methods and would like to know which is more ideal or what I can do to make a method more that’s much more ideal than these 2:
Acid Soak (4 Hours)
Salt Soak (2 Hours)
Base Soak (2 Hours)
Naphtha (24 Hours per pull)
Or
Acid Soak (24-48 Hours)
Salt Soak (1-2 Hours)
Base Soak (24 Hours)
Naphtha (24 Hours per pull)
*Before I start timing the wait times i time 30m - 1h to let any chemical reactions settle to then test the pH, ensuring it’s at the correct level before proceeding with the written wait periods above.*
Also I’m using Acacia Acuminata Narrow Phyllode Root Bark (Powdered) 100g and doing a completely heatless tek besides maybe 1 heat bath for the final swirl/pull.
Thanks in advance!
