99 Problems with 'Seaweed Solutions' Agar.
    #23478184 - 07/26/16 09:37 AM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I thought I would let everyone know that I've been having major problems with a new brand of PDA I acquired called "Seaweed Solutions". It doesn't seem to have enough nute content to allow healthy myc growth....everything looks whispy and pansy assed! A real bummer when you pour 20+ plates and do all the transfers :frown:

On a second batch I added a healthy amount of honey and this seems to have solved the problem. Still, a real big setback for me as I'm in the process of transferring my entire collection to master slants. Just thought I'd warn you guys.

I can't see why you'd spend money on PDA considering the agar, honey, and potato flakes are all under 5 bucks for quite a bit.  :shrug:

I used that several times when I first started agar. Had horrid luck, thought it was just me until I started getting a different pre-made agar that was MEA from fungi perfecti. Big difference :thumbup:

I was given an entire pound by a friend who's not going to be needing it. So much that I pulled a Scarface and plunged my entire face into it. Sad end to a happy story.

This is it
FORMULA: 21.7% Pancreatic Digest of Gelatin (Peptone G) 13% Beef Extract 65.2% Agar Agar SOLUTION
probably due to the fact that it has no sugar or carbs?
