I have used it for agar and LC, diluted and full strength.  Works as well as my MEA or PDA did. If using in a LC I would recommend 1 part grain soak water to 4 parts tapwater or else it's too dark to see through. For agar I usually cut it 50/50.

I have not used it with WBS soak water however, but for wheat,  rye, millet and oats it did fine.

i JUST got plain old agar the other day, but have used grain water in those pre made powder MEA's from a vendor.  250ml tap, 250 ml rye soak water (including the coffee, no gypsum tho).  No difference in growth that i can tell.  maybe with 100% grain water it would be different?

AS soon as my wife gets home with my PP5s and agar powder I'm going to make a batch with the water from a mix of millet, wheat and RGS. Do you add anything else or just 50/50 diluted grain water and agar.

I do 25ml of grain water and .5g agar per dish and I have had good results with it. When I tried PDA and GWA next to each other the GWA germinated a couple days sooner and grew faster. I dont have any experience with MEA

At most I might add a drop of karo but it's not really neccessary.

Thanks Frank. Up to this point agar is the only thing giving me any trouble in this hobby. Its making me a bit mental.

g2g is that way with me :oldman2:

i got agar down fine and dandy in the SAB, but g2g is another story.  never once had 100% successful g2g, always get 2-3 receiving jars get con tams.

I was amazed how my resistance to agar work melted away when I tried it. It's pretty straightforward :shrug: even in my "SAB" which is a 66 quart tub upside down with the body pulled away a bit from the lid to allow my clumsy shaking hands in. Haven't needed to do g2g yet though :thumbup:

im gonna try going from pint to quart in the SAB for g2g.  may have better success.  i use 66 qt also, but not tall enough for the angle to pour grains quart to quart.  that and I'm an idot i guess lol

Get the tallest, widest tub you can find for your SAB, even I would be pissed trying to G2G in a 66qt.

lol.  i just may have to do that, and keep the 66qt for agar, cause its working well for that.  what i have been doing is just putting a wedge from same plate to six grain jars if I'm doing a mono.  take a while tho :frown:

I recently made two batches of GWA. In the first I used 5 grams of agar powder for each cup of water. In the second I used 10 grams per cup. Nether batch set up properly. the first stayed completely liquid and the second was still way to soft.
I've never had this problem with PDA so I'm wondering if there is something from one of my grains reacting with the agar. the grains I used were millet, wheat and RGS.

Any ideas?

It could that you didn't use enough agar , it recommended to use 12g approximately for 1L
