-=Newbies 411 Agar for n00bs=-
    #2593277 - 04/22/04 11:49 PM (18 years, 10 months ago)

Well since i was a newb once(and still am), and theres millions of newbs around. I decided to post a tiny thread here on different Agar recipes and the Nutrient charts. could an admin sticky this for a while so some newbs can read up on this?

so lets start this train

MEA (Malt Extract Agar) - i recommend this! Rated: A+
- 1 Liter of water
- 20 grams agar agar
- 20 grams barley malt sugar
- 1 gram peptone (optional)

PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar) - Rated: B
- 1 Liter of water
- EDIT: boil 300 grams of slices potatos in 2-3 liters of water, then add the milky water to the agar recipe.
- 20 grams agar agar
- 10 grams dextrose
- 2 grams yeast (optional)
- 1 gram peptone (optional)

OMA (Oatmeal Malt Agar) - Rated: D (too many contams)
- 1 Liter Water
- 80 grams instant oatmeal
- 20 grams agar agar
- 10 grams malt sugar
- 2 grams yeast (optional)

DFA (Dog Food Agar)- Never tried this...
- 1 Liter of Water
- 20 grams dry dog food
- 20 grams agar agar

CMA or CGA (Cornmeal Malt/Glucose Agar) - Haven't tried these...
- 1 Liter Water
- 20 grams agar agar
- 10 grams cornmeal
- 5 grams malt or glucose
- 1 gram yeast (optional)

Note: anything that is optional is just something that can boost the growth speed and health of mycelium and also provides more nutrients for faster/bigger fruiting.

Supplement charts

Nitrogen and carbs
- 2 grams yeast or 1-2 grams peptone
- 2 grams oatmeal or oat bran
- 2 grams rye or wheat flour
- 1 gram soybeal meal
- 1 gram spirolina
- 2 grams high quality dog food

End-substrate Supplements
- 3-5 grams sawdust
- 3-5 grams powdered straw (just chop it up finely)
- 3-5 grams sugarcane bagasse, etc...

Instructions on how to cook and prepare agar are already posted in other forums and is a basic... these are just different variations for the newbie at heart... Enjoy!

This is not quite correct.

You want water from boiling 300 grams sliced potatoes in 1 liter of water for 1 hour and then added water to 1 liter.

The recipes are here:

sorry i didnt quite say it right... your right though, you boil 300 grams of potato slices in 2-3 liters of water and ur left with a kind of milky watery stuff cause most of the water evaporates...

2 to 3 liters is a big difference, and will make very different mixes.

I use

Potato Dextrose (Yeast-extract) Agar (PD(Y)A)
broth from boiling 150 grams sliced potatoes
in 500ml water for 30 minutes(add water to 500ml)
(You can use 5 g of instant potato flakes instead)
9 g agar agar
7 grams dextrose( = glucose, or 10 ml honey or corn syrup )
1 gram brewers yeast or yeast-extract (optional)

So using your recipe, I would use 300 g of potato to 1 liter of water,
not 2 to 3, which would make a weak mix.
