How to use the Miraculix Psilo-Qtest | Does it actually work better than HPLC?

so as you guys are cultivating over the years you get better and better your skills get more refined and you want to know what you're cultivating right so we want to test the potency none of us want to be wasting our time money on bunk we don't want to be growing bunk we want to be growing the best that's on the market and really the only way forever to test your potency was hplc testing it was really the only way that you could test but there's some pros and cons to it and we'll talk a little bit more about that in this video but until recently a second option came on the market this came along right here this is about the size of my cell phone and this makes a lot of big big claims that you could test your potency super accurate from the comfort of your own home and everything you need is right here in this little box we're going to test it out we're gonna see if it works if they're bullshitting I have no idea but we're going to test it all out right here in this video Let's Go what's going on trip team first of all I want to welcome you guys back to a brand new video I hope all of you guys are doing amazing I want to tell you guys I love you if this is your first time here on Willy's world go down below hit the Subscribe button and the bell off to the side that way you guys know when I drop a new video if this is your first time at all ever seen one of my videos welcome to the trip team family ttf that's what it's about all my social media is right here if you don't see it over here it's not me if you guys want a private library with step-by-step detailed extractions and grows private chat room private Reddit tons of giveaways then go check out my patreon because that's where it's at actually I'm going to be giving away some mystery boxes this upcoming week on my patreon so if you guys want to get in on that jump on it I'm telling you it's amazing these mystery boxes contain amazing Medics inside of them and I'm going to be giving a whole bunch of them away but there's also some other things that you could find inside those mystery boxes now we're going to talk a little bit more about testing what's the cheapest testing on the market but today the really big thing we're going to be talking about is this right here this right here is the mirror clucks Silo Q test now what comes inside this little box is actually two test kits and this allows you to test potency now I don't know how accurate it is I've never used it before but I'm going to be using it with you guys I'm going to show you guys the proper way to use it and we're going to talk about if it's worth it or not now for the longest time for testing your only option was hplc testing now hplc stands for high performance liquid chromatography or chromiograph or high pressure liquid chromatography you know it's used interchangeably people call it different things they just switch out performance for pressure or whatever it really doesn't matter it's the same exact thing hplc testing it's a really in-depth process and it's the only way to really really know the exact numbers when it comes to potency I mean they break everything down and you could test for so many different things I mean it's literally endless from psilocybin to Silicon to North silicon to biosis and nor bayosis and origination I mean it just goes on and on and on so you could really really quantify the alkaloids that are in your specific sample now with this test kit right here it's only testing facilocybin and silicon but that's really the two big compounds that we want to test for anyways all the other compounds are great but we really just want to know what those two compounds are because that's what really really matters when we actually take them right so this kit hits the main two so that's going to be great for a lot of people make sure you guys stay tuned to the end because I'm going to talk about something in the end if you want to throw your gloves in the ring and compete with some of the best cultivators from around the world I'm going to show you guys and tell you guys how you can do that but you need to stay tuned to the end for all that now this miraclux testing kit all in which shipping cost about 35 dollars give or take now full disclosure I I just want to tell you guys before I did this video I reached out to them to try to get you guys a discount code I did I hit them up they were interested and then I they asked me what I wanted in exchange I said just throw me some some kits so I could do the video give the trip team family a discount and they ghosted me they they never hit me back so take that for what it is you know that's not gonna stop me from doing an honest review on this kit you guys asked for this and I want to give you guys what you want but I do want to tell you guys that nothing was provided to me by miraclux they didn't give me the kit they didn't give me a discount code for you guys it is what it is you guys asked for this video if it wasn't for you guys asking I probably wouldn't have did this video just to just to be a hundred percent honest with you guys so with all that said let's just jump right into this video we're gonna jump over to one of the stainless steel tables we're gonna unbox this kit and we're gonna see what's inside the first thing you guys will notice is the packaging looks really really good it's compact it's really small and each one of these boxes contains two separate kits so you guys could test two different samples or test the same sample two times to make sure it's as accurate as could be so let's open this up when we open it up you'll see everything's just jammed in there and the first thing we pull out is some steri filters or what people call sterifilts pretty much what this is is it's a filter you attach to a syringe so you could filter out a liquid so no solids get in there they give you two of everything that you guys are gonna see the next thing you guys are gonna see is some blunt needle tips now these are blunt needle tips you're gonna get two of them and we're gonna need need that to inject it into one of the vials that have self-panel and injection ports the next thing in the box is a couple one milliliter syringes next you guys will find me a bag that contains all your chemicals that are going to do the reaction to give you your results so you guys are going to have two of each because there's two separate kits in the box next you guys will see a color chart so this color chart right here is what you match everything up to to be able to tell the numbers so when the test is all done we're going to match it up to this color chart and we'll be able to tell our accuracy within a 0.2 I believe the next thing inside the box is your directions and some gloves so you're going to have your instructions that walk you through pretty much what I'm going to walk you through in this video and you also get two sets of gloves now once you guys make sure that everything is included in your kit what you guys want to do is take one of each thing and put it off to the side we only need one kit so you guys are going to need one syringe one stary filter one needle one vial with a self family injection Port one white vial with liquid in it and a pair of gloves you guys are also gonna need a couple things that don't come with the kit the first thing is a scale now you are gonna have to weigh out 150 milligrams of powdered material that you want to test now of course you can use a gram scale if you want but if you want to be super super accurate I really suggest just buying a cheap milligram scale on Amazon or Ebay you can get it from 20 to 25 dollars and it will come in handy a lot as you guys move forward with your mycology career so just make the investment now this is going to give you the milligram to the exact number if you guys use a gram scale you guys are going to have to use the points so if you put it on a gram scale you're gonna have 0.00 that's going to be the gram setting if you guys want to weigh out 150 milligrams it should read 0.15 if it says 0.15 then you guys are pretty much in the range of 150 milligrams now it's not going to be exact 150 milligrams it might be a little bit more a little bit less but it's going to be about as close as you guys could get it on a gram scale so just keep that in mind you could use a ground scale but a milligram scale is definitely going to be much more accurate you guys are also going to need your material that you're testing now I haven't tested these on hplc testing but I am going to test them to see how accurate this kit is so once we get the results from the kit we're gonna then go and we're going to run it through the hplc and I'll give you guys the results at the end of the video you guys are also going to need some water and a beaker or a pot a pan a bowl it really doesn't matter you guys are going to need some hot water at least one liter plus something to hold it in so once you guys have all that together we can move forward with actually starting the process process of using one of the test kits the first thing you guys want to do is you want to powder up your sample now you can use a pastel and mortar you guys could use a coffee grinder or you can just use a hand grinder it doesn't matter now I will tell you guys if you ground it up really really fine you're going to get much more accurate results the test is just gonna work better so make sure you guys grind it up into a really fine powder now once you guys have the material all ground up into a fine powder now you guys want to weigh out 150 milligrams once you guys have 150 milligrams weight out just put it on some type of card or something like that a business card a piece of paper and just fold it over you guys want to fold it over because we're going to have to dump it into one of these vials and that little fold over that little concave is going to help the mushroom material go into the vial now that we have our material weighed out now what you guys want to do is you want to take one liter of water put it on the stove and bring it to a boil once it starts boiling shut off the stove and just let it sit now what you guys want to do is you want to take your 150 milligrams of test material and you guys want to add it to the white vial with the lid once you guys have the material inside the bile what you guys want to do is you want to shake it up for 10 seconds and then let it sit for 10 minutes make sure you guys are using a timer to have exact times because this is really going to play into your results if you guys do it under or over you guys might get inaccurate results once you've shaken it up for 10 seconds and let it rest for 10 minutes repeat that process two more times so you want to shake it up again let it rest for 10 minutes then shake it up again for 10 seconds and let it rest for 10 minutes all in all it should rest for a half an hour and you should have shaken it up three separate times now once you guys do your final shake and it's rested for 10 minutes now what you guys want to do is you want to take your sterifelt out and you want to take a a ring joke and you want to attach the two together now you're going to attach them together just by applying Force they don't screw onto each other they just attach by using Force they're a perfect fit once you guys have your stereo filter on your syringe now you guys want to remove the cap to your vial and you guys want to stick your filter in there and you want to start to suck up Liquid you guys are going to want to suck up one milliliter of liquid now it might take a little bit of time to do this because of the negative pressure in the filter so just go back and forth back and forth back and forth until you guys suck up one milliliter of liquid there should be no solids inside the syringe once you guys have your one milliliter of liquid inside your syringe now what you want to do is just replace the cap to the vial and put it off to the side remove your steri filter and now you want to attach one of the blunt needles that were supplied in the kit same exact thing it's not going to twist on it's not a lower lock it's literally just going to fit on there it's a perfect fit once you guys have the syringe Needle on the syringe now what you guys want to do is you want to take the vial that has the self-healing injection port on it and you want to stick the needle through and you want to push the entire one milliliter of liquid that's inside the syringe into the vial it might take a little bit of force to get it through the self handling ejection Port because these are blunt tip needles and they did that so that you don't get poked or hurt with the needles so just use a little bit of force to get it through the self handling injection Port once you guys have all the liquid inside the vial now you could remove your syringe what I like to do is I like to pull up my needle a little bit and fill the entire syringe up with air so that way when I pull the needle out there's no splashback or anything like that you guys could do the same exact thing or you can just pull the needle out it's really up to you but this is the way I like to do it now that you guys have your mixed together you guys will notice a reaction so you guys will notice the liquid turned green the more greenness liquid turns in the vial is an indication for silicon so this test doesn't separately test for silicon but the darker green that your liquid changes when you inject the one milliliter into the vial the more silicon present in your sample so just keep that in mind as you guys could see this one turned a nice green so you could tell that there's a good amount of silicon in this sample now what you guys want to do is you want to get your water that you heated up the one liter of water and you guys want to make sure the temperature is between 80 and 95 degrees Celsius or around 200 degrees Fahrenheit that's going to be the The Sweet Spot so you want it about 200 degrees Fahrenheit or between 80 and 95 degrees celsius if you need to reheat it to get a little bit warmer go for it but it should be the perfect 10 temperature once you guys get to this point now that you have your water at the perfect temperature what you want to do is you want to take your vial that now has your mix and everything in it and you want to put it inside the water we have to incubate it once you guys put it inside the water start a timer for 15 minutes exactly so it's very very important that you guys start the timer as soon as you put it into the water to start incubation you have to set a timer for 15 minutes because you're going to get the most accurate reading at that 15 minute Mark so start a timer for 15 minutes after the 15 minutes we'll come back and we'll proceed to the final step all right guys so it's been 15 minutes so we're going to pull this out so what I like to do is I like to use a pair of tongs I'll pull it out of my water and I'll put it onto some paper towels and just dry it off really really quick remember this glass vial is going to be hot so you want to use some tongs you don't want to burn your hands um if you guys don't have tongs then just dump out the water while retaining the file back and then you can grab it easily and drag it off the same exact way now once you guys have it all dried off just put it off to the side and what you want to do is you want to grab your color chart now you want to take your color chart and you want to put a piece of white paper in the background so your color chart should be on top of a piece of blank white paper this is going to give you guys the most accurate color and the most accurate reading because lights inside the room can affect the color backgrounds can affect the color so putting a white piece of paper behind the color card and your sample is going to give you guys the most accurate color for your sample once you guys have your color card on some white paper now you want to take your sample and you want to match it up to the closest color on the color card and this is going to give you your potency as you guys can see this one's pretty high up on the Spectrum this is going to be between 1.8 and 2.1 percent of active alkaloids now let me show you guys why this isn't that accurate all right bear with me yes the test is great it's a good indication but let me tell you why this will never ever replace hplc testing this is all subjective right you you're not going to get an exact color match so you're going to be going up and down on this scale and you know jumping from one level to the next is a huge increase so it's not as accurate as hplc testing another downside of this is the closer you have the sample to the color chart the darker it gets it affects the color of the actual sample different angles different light will also affect the color of the sample it will make it get darker or lighter as you guys can see so really at the end of the day it's acts more as is there a presence of active alkaloids but it's not very very accurate when you're doing it color based it's very very difficult to get an exact number or as close to exact as possible even following their directions to a t like I said look you guys can move it up down left right and the color changes depending on where the light's hitting it how close it is to the color card how far away from the paper it is so it's not super duper accurate but like I said just using my eyes and you know moving it all around and trying to get the best calibration of color I'm going to say this is between 1.8 and 2.1 but I'm going to jump on the hplc real quick we're gonna test it and we're gonna see how accurate this actually is so after testing it on the hplc I can actually tell you guys this was off a pretty good amount so this tested at about 15 milligrams per gram gram or about 1.5 percent could this color have matched to the 1.5 on the color chart sure it could have matched but we really don't know because as we get closer or further away left or right the color changes so we have no idea it's really perspective and this is only going to give you a really really vague rough idea this will never ever replace hplc testing now do I think it's cool for the price and stuff like that yeah absolutely I think this is good to have in the lab just so you guys could test different samples and then you know the darker the color you could say you know what these are the samples I want to send in for hplc testing because hplc testing is not cheap so you don't want to send bunk in for hplc testing it's just not worth the money so you guys could get a good indication with this kit for really really cheap if the sample is even worth sending in for hplc testing but like I said this will never replace hplc testing it's cool kind of a novelty rarely at the end of the day but really to be honest with you guys hplc testing is King now like I told you guys to test a sample through hplc testing it's pretty expensive and there's not many places doing it so the Market's kind of cornered by five to six different labs and their prices are all very very similar so you're gonna pay around 200 bucks to 250 dollars to get one sample tested now some places are even more expensive but that's about the average now if you guys want to become one of my patreon supporters we have a tier on there the ttf magic tear if you guys become a member on the ttf magic tier you guys could get a sample tested every single month for a hundred and fifty dollars now it's not just that you also get access to two different chat rooms you guys get access to the private Library you guys get one-on-one private calls with me to help you out and stuff like that but you also get free entry into the cultivar cup so if you guys want to compete with some of the best cultivators from around the world in this community you guys get free entry to send a sample in to compete in the cultivar cup and you guys get testing every single month included in your membership so it's a really cool thing it's the cheapest testing on the market to be a hundred percent honest with you now there's a bunch of great Labs out there like I said but this is really really cheap if there's other options out there too that are amazing like Oakland hyphae and they do the psilocybin cup and they have a membership program through their patreon and stuff like that so make sure you guys go check them out they're a great group of people really good friends of mine but like I said if you guys want to test through me and Doma Labs Magic Michael Labs then you guys could actually join the patreon the ttf magic tear get a sample tested every month plus a free entry into the cultivar cut where you could win a ton of prizes but more than anything else is to hit one of those top numbers to be a winner or second place third place it really opens up a bunch of doors for you guys and it's an accomplishment you know it's it's a good thing so if you guys want to be a part of that go check it out all the links are in a pinned comment below so if you guys want to be a part of that I really appreciate it helps the content keep coming and you guys get to get a lot of stuff in return so all in all what I buy this kit or suggest this kit to you guys yes and no um like I said it's a great thing just to have in the lab you could test out a bunch of samples for really really cheap and figure out what are the best samples to send off for real testing it's really up to you guys um if you guys want to try them out but like I said for the price you really can't complain and it's a good tool to gauge the idea of where it's at with that said I want to thank you guys for all your love and support I honestly couldn't do this without you guys supporting me right here on YouTube and you guys supporting me over on patreon you guys in my world and I'd love you guys to death and the the trip team family is the most amazing community in the entire mushroom psychedelic community and you guys just [ __ ] rock and I love you I'm Willie Michael do good be good live good namaste
