It sounds ok if that's the full ingredient list. Obviously all you want is the 'seaweed' but assuming that's the majority of the product (which it seems to be) then you're fine. Worst case you make your dishes and find the agar doesn't sit, it's not as if you'll waste time growing them. You can cook up a tiny batch and leave it out in a dish to see, should find out in an hour or so if you leave it in the fridge/freezer.

No they had mini powder packets i went to the Hong Kong food mart i saw the telephone agar aswell in the little packet. Both were .75cents a packet. (containing 7grams powder agar) i got the yellow satelit pack because it said it had an Apple green color. Hence i wouldnt have to buy food coloring, and i heared green was the best color use. The telephone brand didnt have any color.

Telephone is what I've got. 75 cents is a good deal too. I pay $1.99 for my 25 gram packet.

I'm sure the flavoring and color will be fine. The important thing is that it doesn't have sugar in it. Sometimes places like Indonesia haven't figured out that whole listing ingredients properly thing, so I'd rub some on my tongue to see if it's sweet. If not, you're good to go.

Lol I'm on a budget bro.. so I'm trying to make this work as cheaply as possible I'll taste the agar and see if it's sweet or not. What if it just tastes like vanilla?

How hard is it exactly to get 1 single drop from a MS syringe? Lol it usually squirts.

Not hard at all. It squirts while the needle is hot, but you should be squirting that out onto the bottom of your SAB. After that, you should be able to make a single drip no problem. Just apply less force, and if you feel the plunger moving at all just keep that same low, steady pressure.

if u squirt the solution to the bottom of ur SAB, like VDG said to cool the needle, u should be able to determine how much force is needed for a drop or two. otherwise, just let a little droplet hang off the tip of the syringe, and literally touch ur agar plate with that. no guess work that way, just a little pressure on the plunger should do it.

Well I'm all done. On the first dish I accidentally used 2-3 drops. then I freaked so I kinda rolled the solution around in the dish. Lol. (Idk what I was thinking) I have 2 others though and I used 1 single drop for each of the two. I meant to leave one blank to test my sterilizing process etc. But since l basically compromised one I went ahead and inoculated them all.
