I tried lots of agar recipes, and every ratio possible, still the same. I've tried as little as 1% nutes, same shit. I like pda de most, 1,5grams potato flakes and 0,5 SITR, but still, cultures grow kinda funny, no matter the species or the print the came from 
Glad it works for you, maybe now I can rule out my agar powder as the cause of this. I even made a thread some months ago about this, it was driving me insane, thanfully the cultures perk up on grains so the situation is not so bad

Well I have a culture that's permanently fluffy no matter how many transfers or nutes also, I don't really mind because it does go more rhizo on grains

Sounds like there's additives in the agar maybe feeding the mycelium more nutes? Although none is listed so I don't know maybe it depends on types of seaweed used or something I'm clutching at straws here.

Possibly, I dunno if there's even any pros other than aesthetics to rhizo though so it's not a problem for me

Yep, that does it lol Gonna use what mrmazdarx9 recommended. I mean, it has to be the fucking agar, you can't imagine all the things I've done in order to eliminate all the possible vectors... It has to be the FUCKING agar

I have seen differences in the nutritional information on some agar in the past only minor differences but I guess it doesn't take much to make a difference.

Yeah give it a go Josex and see how it works, I'd like to know myself if it's the agar Don't think I'd switch till I ran out of this stuff but it'd be nice to know!

You are never going to run out of it man and you know it I'll be dead before finishing the bottle even though I go through a lot of agar myself.

There's definitely something going on within some powered agar, I think it might have something to do with the manufacturing process. Been reading up about it and some manufacturers use an alkaline chemical process to extract agar from the seaweed and then bleach to get the colour out. These are then apparently washed out again.
I went from this 
About 3 weeks growth
To this 
About 2 weeks , the only difference is the agar is traditionally extracted flakes. No chemicals used.
I know not all powered stuff is bad, iv had success with it. But I'm beginning to think there may my an element of pot luck with it.

Let us know how you get on Josex. Ill put up a pic of the PEU that i couldnt get to germinate on the premix pda or in a lc that finally on literally the the very last few drops i had left in the syringe i got to germinate on this agar I used the two good plates and left one that i forgot about in my grow tent.
 Left this plate since the end of january lol it did have much more clear rizo sections but left under 600w cfls for two months made it go a bit thick lol

Hahaha I was gonna add something about that to my original post, I will honestly never even use a 5th of that agar, I don't have the need, but it's still interesting to see

any thoughts?

£26 or something and free delivery for the 13L one, it works pretty good for me. Not 100% sure of the PSI you'd have to message them and see but I've never had a problem with contams from it.
I can get 5 quart jars in it or like 7 pp5 screwtop bottles so it's not bad if you're personal use.

My first ever batch of cakes I did with like a 6 or 7 litre piece of shit and I couldn't work out how the gasket worked for a good hour and a half, I'd put it below the rim of the "pan" bit of the PC and it just kept dripping a shitton of steam/water all over my stovetop and making a huge mess 
Figured it out eventually though and got some godawful yields in the end LOL
I've still never actually grown enough to trip on - let's hope that changes with this LI'd RGS and rye!
