Agar wtf is going on with my pda

I've recently been experimenting with potatoe dextrose agar. Has anyone experienced slow growth with this medium? Is mea the to go? After digging through the archives seems like the mycelium should be growing way faster in my agar plates.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated

What is your recipe? What would you consider slow growth? Higher nutrients may cause slower growth. Pics may also help

PDA kicks ass. MEA is also kick ass. I use both. Make sure your recipe is on point and that you return the recipe back to volume after the agar is made. If you are doing 1000 or 500ml their needs to b 1000 or 500ml when you throw it in the PC. You will boil off some of the water when making the agar which might alter the nutrient content.
