I failed...Heated up the mix to get the sugar to dissolve, I became inpatient an added a bit of water. Do not do this! Luckily it was made with aborts and I have more to play around with.
I guess I should have just kept stirring for a few more mins. My solution was 2cups ethl to 4 cups sugar.

Another question how does a trip ride out with the sugar crystals opposed to just drinking the ethl solution?
Ex. When I dose with the liquor extract it hit very fast ~20mins and only last ~3-4 hours as opposed to eating them taking ~1hour to hit and tripping for ~6 hours

That's a huge amount haha. I only used about 100 mL Everclear and 200 sugar haha. Worked fine for me after letting it sit long enough.
It takes a lot longer to recrystallize if you do large amounts anyway. The first time I tried it I only used 1 cup (250mL) Everclear and 2 of sugar and it never even fully solidified.

Yea 4 cups sugar is allot and has the potential to hold the equivalent of 20 ounces of mushrooms. If you have to add water just add more sugar. It should still work tho, well how much water did you add?
If you are having trouble driving off the rest of the solvent off of the crystals then try: Breaking them up on the wax/parchment paper and air dry Use a fan Make sure it's not in a humid environment like a bathroom Worst comes to worst you can place your wax/parchment paper in your dehydrator Or use/make a vacuum chamber (this is the fastest option imo)
Good luck

I'm gonna be trying this within the week. I've got about 7 grams of mushrooms that I literally just found in a drawer, so I figured why not use those? 
Can you give a little more detail on how you dry under vacuum with a hand pump? That's the only thing I'm not 100% sure about. I've got time to wait if I can't get it to work, but I'd rather get it dry and stored ASAP.
I'm also gonna just use heat for my initial evaporation (the step where you're reducing your solvent to a workable volume, not the final drying). I'll let you know how that works out and if any potency is subjectively lost.

Sure, using the strongest cookie sheet, or for small amounts a bread pan works great. I use electrical tape on the mating surfaces of the pan/sheet and acrylic sheet. Just place your wax/parchment paper in the tray and trim it so it's contained in the pan/sheet. Place your piece of acrylic sheet over the pan/sheet and draw a vacuum. If the baking sheet/pan or acrylic sheet is thin and flimsy your going to have to find a suitable spacer to keep them from crushing, use what works for what your working with. It helps to cool the reservoir to aid condensation, alternatively you can warm the pan slightly by placing on a refrigerator or something equivalent and keeping the reservoir at rt. The more vacuum you apply the faster the process. I'll take pictures next batch I make

Hmm, sounds easy enough.
The main thing I'm wondering about (besides how you make a seal, which you covered) is how you get the adapter in there, and what kind of adapter you use? Do you make a thicker gasket and just sort of tape the adapter in, or just kind of lay the end of the tube in there and have at it using just a layer or 2 of tape?
Sometimes visualizing simple things is harder than it should be, lol.
Also, is there a specific reason it has to be an acrylic sheet, or did you just list what you used because that's what you used? Cause I don't have an acrylic sheet but I have several different-sized baking pans, and I can't really see why they wouldn't work.

>how you get the adapter in there, and what kind of adapter you use?
Super easy, I use one of the barbed fittings from the vac pump kit adhered with rtv to a hole drilled through. Similar to the lid of the mason jar.
>Also, is there a specific reason it has to be an acrylic sheet, or did you just list what you used because that's what you used?
The acrylic sheet acts as a cover to a baking pan/sheet so you can watch the progression of Crystal formation, as opposed to an opaque lid.
Here's a video that gave me the idea, I only modified it for a shallow baking pan/sheet and use a reservoir to collect the condensate

Awesome! That could be very useful with my hash oil TEK as well.
You, sir, really need to stick around and keep being you. You never fail to amaze me with some kind of great idea.

Also, please copy/paste from your journal to here so the info is more public. I've wanted to show a few people how to make this stuff, but they can't get to your journal without signing in and I don't necessarily wanna let them all know I'm a member here, lol.

Thanks man- one more question: what's a reasonable sugar-to-mushroom powder ratio?
I'm thinking something like 1-1/2 tsp sugar per 3g mushroom powder; for 30g mushroom powder that's about 120g sugar- does this seem about right?

I personally like 5ml of sugar to hold the equivalent of 3 g mushroom powder. I start with 150g mushroom powder extracted in 1000ml ethanol that is filtered and then reduced under vaco to 125 ml and saturated with 250ml of sugar or sugar/kool aid mix.

I was gonna ask about the kool aid mix since I just use flavoring oils.
When you add kool aid mix do you change the amount of sugar?

Thanks- that's ballpark; 5ml is about 1 tsp.

Sort of, I mean the over all volume should be the same.
If your using the kind of kool aid that comes in small packages like the kind seen on the left side of the picture, then just add one package to every 250ml of sugar used. If you have the kool aid that comes in a jar or can like the one seen on the right side of the picture, then just pour out 50ml of kool aid and then add sugar until you have your 250ml volume of kool aid/sugar mix

Here's a cool alternative to plain rock candy. I have scaled it down using ice cube trays or muffin tins so each geode is one hit. A more detailed write up of the following is in the works 
Make a tin foil mold

Line mold with a thin layer of fondant and pour in your rock candy solution

Once hardened flip candy out of the mold and pour melted chocolate over it

Once cooled trim excess fondant/chocolate and enjoy!
