Please post the exact amounts of ingredients you used.
I guess you used too little agar.

Are you saying that you sterilized your agar, put it in the fridge for a day, and then melted it again and poured it into dishes?
If you over-boil agar, it can affect its ability to gel. It's possible boiling it, refrigerating it, then boiling it again caused your issue.

hello. i was thinking the same thing. i should not have refrigerated it and then sterilized it. i last did this in the 70s. i am 77. i just got done with my new groroom and built a nice glovebox out of wood and clear plastic. took 4 months to build it. works good. i am working with a bplus strain. i will make up another batch and try it again. i live in sw georgia. peace and thanks.

Good luck and god speed. Cultivation techniques have changed a lot since the '70s. As you're surely aware, there's a steep learning curve, but it's sort of like riding a bike. Once you get it down once or twice it's easy to get consistent results. Check out the "Important Links" in my signature for the methods/TEKs I use.
