Has anyone tried this AGAR product?
    #20258766 - 07/11/14 05:04 PM (10 years, 6 months ago)

I am somewhat new.  I had a successful grow 3 years ago with brf PF cakes. I got the ich for another grow so here I am.

I want to try agar to 5 qts WBS to Damion5050's Coir. Cant find agar anywhere local so I was going to purchase it online.  I came across this on amazon and was wondering if it would work.

I tried these briefly and only grew contams. I had much better success making my own plates using malt extract agar. These ones are LB agar plates.

This is the stuff I used. Just mixed with water, sterilized, and poured them in my SAB.

Your link is dead, but pre-poured plates are not worth it in any sense of the word. If your technique is good enough to use agar, it's good enough to pour your own plates.

(Extra) light malt extract and agar agar works wonders. 20 grams of each per liter of water. PDA is another good alternative. Failing those two, agar agar and turbinado sugar has worked well for me before.

i recommend common sense and figuring it out.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.
