Up to 3C, after which liquid is okay
Triturate an hour per C, with saclac or sugar or lactose.
One part solid with 99 parts saclac.
Be CAREFUL, you can get horrible aggravations from the flying powder at 1C, 2C, 3C, as you are making the substance more toxic for toxins.

You have to do each C stage in 3 parts., so use 1g substance + 33g lactose, triturate 20 minutes, then add 33g lactose and trit 20 minutes then add 33g lactose for final 20 minutes. That's 1 stage centessimal potency. After each step you scrape the triturate loose from the sides of the mortar and pestle.
In reality 100g lactose is a lot to work with. You can scale down and use 0.1g substance plus 10g, or 0.3g plus 30g, etc.

Maybe in the time of Hahnemann, they didn't have the refined white sugar
we have now, and would that be why, of old, triturating should be done
with lactose?
Refined white sugar started to be introduced by the Dutch in the 1600's. Of course it didn't get to the middle and lower classes immediately, and I am unsure when that would have been.

I think the HPUS guidelines would be appropriate, for those remedies that are listed in it. http://www.hpus.com

Remedies can also be made without lactose; if soluble in alcohol or water, I think they can be started from that point instead of from triturate (if I am remembering right), and I have seen lactose-free (using sucrose, but could presumably be anything of a similar texture) and alcohol-free remedies (preserved instead with glycerine is one I have seen). I think the "magic" is not in the substance used to dilute, but instead with the process of dilute-and-succuss.
Remedies can be made very effectively by various "quick and dirty" methods -- starting with bee-in-a-blender for apis, then dilute-and-succus with whatever is available, etc., but then you are kind of winging it as far as both potency and substance, but can still be effective e.g. for acute situations.
I think lactose was / is used mostly because it's available and a convenient texture, and standardization is useful in the interests of greater predictability. I'm just guessing.

Thank you for this.
To be more specific, I think it is remarkable that we do not have a
remedy by the name of Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea). We do have Pulex
irritans (human flea). I'd say that Ctenocephalides felis is very
common, and it would need a prooving.
So I caught me some Ctenocephalides felis and decided to make a remedy
from it, and then found I wasn't sure how to proceed *exactly*.
I have some doubt about 'mixing' Ctenocephalides felis with
sugar/lactose in a blender. I'd say the 'impressing' (as it were) the
Ctenocephalides felis 'into' sugar/lactose in a mortar, using a pestle,
is different from quick rotating knives in a blender.
Are there any 'descriptions' showing that 'quick and dirty' (using a
blender) results in equally effective remedies?
