Is this sufficient for an agar mix?

the back says
INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, AGAR AGAR
INGREDIENTS: SUCRE, AGAR (algues extrait)
the fact it is sugar with agar makes me think i shoulda gotten PURE AGAR powder...or will this do fine?

The fact it's food grade means it will quite likely have a low gel strength so you'll have to use a bit more.
The sugars, I would be worried about what they may be feeding and help I got along that's not your mycelium (plus I thought I read somewhere too high of a concentration of sugars will inhibit mycelium growth... hence why we need lo use a lower amount in a lc. Whether there is any truth to that or not idk)

I got the same thing. It's crap... the sugar to agar ratio was like 40:1 or something. I tried to make some, all I got was a yeast of some kind. It liquified the entire surface.
My advice, don't waste your time. I got a pound of agar powder on amazon. It has served me well.
Cheers

If you have a credit/debit card (or even know someone who does) do as rew said and just purchase some actual agar agar off amazon)
