trying to do a mescaline sulfate extraction according to this TEK
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23775827/fpart/1/vc/1
1. Blend 3 ft cactus to smoothie in blender dump it in a bucket. 2. Put your goggles and gloves on! Add 400 grams KOH to 1000 ml of distilled h20 in your other clean bucket and mix gently. Once dissolved add it to your cactus sludge bucket. 3. Check the PH of your sludge. 12 and up is good. If not add more KOH until 12 is reached. 4. Add 1000ml d-limonene and agitate gently. Don't shake too much or emulsions will form! 5. Let sit 24 hours for the first pull with d-limo
....
it simply says 3 feet cactus without diameter or weight data... how much dry weight would this be? I can easily get dry powderized san pedro cactus. hard to get fresh one.
I assume you could add KOH till you reach a PH of 12 and higher and dismiss this 400g that are quoted.
add KOH till PH is 12 and higher.

A foot dries down to roughly 20 to 60 grams, depending on diameter. I'd treat 100g of powder like 3 feet, if the whole cactus was dried and not only the "skin"/outer green layer. That's 2 to 3 doses worth on average.
Each cactus varies in potency, it can be zero effects from two feet to full blown trip from a few inches. Each cactus is dfferent, each source is different, each batch of powder is different. Imposiible to tell how potent your powder really is. 15g can send you to the moon, 65g can do nothing. 
But this number is irrelevant for this tek. The PH is made up by the base-to-water -ratio. It's hardly affected by the cactus material.
Just stick to the given numbers (400g KOH to 1L of water) and it should work. PH test stripes are extremly cheap, though, like 10 bucks for 50 test stripes.
Trust your source. Cactus powder can be powder from any cactus, or a very weak mix.
Beware, dried cactus powder is illegal to sell, buy and possess. It's a form of cactus prepared for ingestion. If it's sold within your country it doesn't matter much, but if you get it from across the border then customs might check it. It will test positive for mescaline and is seen as a drug.
Only living plants /cuttings are legal to buy. It's best to grow your own, or buy living cacti. If you are after a quick experience don't buy those famous named clones, those are expensive toys for collectors. A couple of nice cuttings worth 2 to 3 trips shouldn't be more than 100 bucks. Then dry them yourself or process raw/fresh. Bridgesii is the way to go, it's the most consistent and decently strong.
