Acacia Tek Help!

Hello, i the tek im using is
37.5G ACRB 37.5 Lye 375 Ml water
the first time i did this was yesterday i didnt measure the naphtha and i ended up with little clumps of dmt. i think i added too much. so i kinda messed up my first pull im trying to recrystalize it by adding a bit of naphtha but its not really working. My second pull i put it into a little glass bowl and its been 8 hours and i saw 1 small white clump in the bottom but somehow its gone and the lid has very tiny crystals i can barely see it.
i just made my second jar with the same ammounts of ACRB, lye and Water, im about to add naphtha but i dont know how much to add. im using a mason jar. Please help! what should it do?!

acrb is not great with stb, I would at minimum defat first but you'll get a cleaner product if you boil the root bark.
on the nexus look for thicklight's acrb tek, its had proven results and this was months ago when I last looked.

Might wanna follow directions Common problem, someone goes to the trouble to develop a tek and people don't actually follow it
What you are trying to do, is saturate the Naph with DMT... Them cooling it will cause crystals to come out of solution
Too much Naph, and it won't have enough DMT per unit volume to allow crystals to form (low concentration) Too little Naph, and you will have reduced yields but you just have to do more pulls. You need enough though so you will have a good separation of Naph-water
Not sure though what you mean by 'clumps of DMT'... Are they crystal or a mess? As noted, defeating it might help...

its been 24 hours and my 2nd pull from my first soup. I placed in a glass bowl to freeze only has tiny white dots on the bottom but the naphtha is still cloudy. I added a small layer of new naphtha into the first soup and after a few hours i used that 3rd pull for evap so i placed it on a plate but whats left now is just oily residue.
What did i do wrong this time??
As for my second soup i used the same ammount as the first except less naphtha to see if i added too much in the first soup. i made a first pull and placed into a square glass jar its been about 7-8 hours. no crystals yet.

For your 2nd pull it sounds like your using too much naphta, so it isnt saturated enough. Try removing it from the freezer and placing in front of a fan for a few hours to allow some naphta to evaporate.. then place back into freezer.
Also you there's no need to have your naphta in with your bark for hours. Only about 20mins is required. Any longer and you risking your dmt crashing back out of the solvent if not kept warm enough.

acrb is not a great starting material for a stb extraction because of all the other stuff that gets extracted too.
if you must continue with a stb tek I would suggest just doing your pulls, evaping the naptha somewhere safe and with as much fresh air exchange as possible with window/s open. collect all your goo and re-x until a crystalline substance appears.
otherwise the gunk youll get will vary in potency from hit to hit and it makes it taste worse and be harsher.
alternatively let it dry to the consistency of wax and vape a nice bit until you get where your going.

I dont understand what am i doing wrong.. the naphtha is cloudy which means theres DMT in it. i even took the glass bowl out and let the naphtha evaporate almost half under a fan its like 1 cm of naphtha in the glass bowl. All that i noticed is before it would have floating white stuff in the naphtha in the freezer. then it would turn into little white dots on the bottom of the bowl not even crystals just a dot like the size of a seed.
i used 37.5g of ACRB 37.5 Lye 375 Water
The Naphtha ammount i used i didnt measure i just put the ammount where i see half an inch in the mason jar. i followed the Tek except divided the ammount. same ratio.
This is getting annoying somewhat. OH and also when i let some of the naphtha evaporate on a dish it is now just oily residue. i cant even scrape anything.
I did end up with DMT powder ONCE somehow i dont know how it became powder but i dont know how to make that situation happen again...
Really dont want to waste any ACRB i only have 175G left.. i didnt even get to try the extracted DMT at all. and does it matter that im letting 2 soups just sit for a few days cuz im still working on the freeze precipitation and i dont have alot of naphtha left nor glass bowls to hold all the pulls..

the naptha is saturated with many things not just the goodies.
acrb is a fatty starting material and is not suitable for a basic STB (straight to base) extraction without at minimum a defatting process which can be little more than soaking your bark in naptha and discarding whatever is pulled ,prior to adding to basified water.
you chose the hard route if you want a 'clean' product.
that oil,over a week or so will turn to wax that can be handled, I still have some dark red wax from my acrb stb attempt, itll likely get thrown out someday if I should need to use the jar its in.
