Agar price sounds right.
Dunno about the millet- what's the search engine saying?

I don't think the hulled millet will be what you want.  It will most likely turn into a wet mush mess after soaking/bringing to boil.  The hull of the grain keeps the moisture inside while the outside is dry.

Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise.  Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated.  For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

I've used pearled barley with success in the past. It was the grain I used on all projects before switching to rye grass seed.

Hulled millet will turn to a mush after it has been soaked and PC'ed.

I wonder if you could prep it like rye grass, just put a measured amount in the jar w/ water and PC?

Next time go to a hardware store to get your millet.  I bought that hulled millet from the health food store when I was a newb, and it dried out way to easy while it was colonizing.  Don't get me wrong, it can work, the hardware store stuff works way better (imo).  BTW, millet at a hardware store is less than a buck a pound, and if you get a 50lb sack, there is usually a good discount.

I also always recommend mixing in some verm with your millet before you pc it.  This will help regulate your moisture content.

Soak for 12-16 hours, then simmer for about 2-3 minutes and strained for an hour.
