i get mimosa hostilla root bark, soak in muriatic acid (31.45% hydrochloric acid) i believe i bought mine as brick wash, you mix that with water and put the bark powder in it in a glass jar. then i heat it for around a half hour i did 4hrs the first time and came to realize its no different make sure to stir it often to keep the root bark suspended in the liquid...then after you mix in lye and naptha(lighter fluid)....i got the lye at the same place as the muriatic acid, its sold as drain cleaner....you put however much naptha you will need, if you arent doing a whole shit ton of bark you dont need much naptha at all...then slowly start mixing in lye while you stir the mixture rather vigerously...as you add the lye the red mixture will start to turn greyish brown then black like oil...this is what you want but do it slowly because you dont want the ph to rocket to high or it wont produce the crystals you want...then you hurry up and.....wait.....let the liquid settle....this can take a while, depending on how balanced the ph is(why you dont want to add a ton of lye too quickly) ive had it settle and the bubbles dissappear in as quick as 5mins or as slow as 12hrs(the time i thought dumping lye in wouldnt hurt)...when it settles you will notice a clear layer of lighter fluid, you want to extract this layer off of the black oil like liquid, you dont want any of the black oil but if you use a tiny baby medicine syringe the black oil will always ball up and fall to the bottom so you can squirt it back into your jar, when there is no black liquid in the syringe and it is just clear liquid in the syringe you squirt it onto a plate, get as much of the clear liquid out of the jar as possible and onto the plate but no and i mean NO black oil....then i let the plate sit out and start to dry, then when there is half or a little less then half of it left on the plate i put it in the freezer, this really makes the crystals blow up, let it sit in there for as long as it takes for it to dry off completely then i put it in the fridge for a little while, then scrape your giant clear crystals off the plate and into a pizz or on foil or however you you choose to smoke it and enjoy....if someone thinks i should make an actual how to manual i could prolly manage that....lol hope this helps some of you peeps.....btw the mimosa is sold in kilos online as powder for like 25$ a kilo i think
