BRF Verm and Water Mixture question...

So this is my first attempt...
I forgot some of the details of the jar making step. I mixed 5 cups Verm and 2.5 cups BRF and mixed them well. Then, I added the water and mixed it well.
I am aware that the way it is recommended is to mix verm and water, then mix in the BRF. I just made a first time mistake. I realized it after loading the jars and topping them with dry very, as well as starting the pressure cooker part.
My question is, are these worth inoculating? Or should I dump them out and do it the way everyone suggests?
I don't want to waste syringes, but if the effect will just be a longer colonization time, I might just go ahead and try them. I picked up some extra syringes figuring I'll probably mess it up a few runs.
Are these jars destined for failure, or are the syringes worth using on these jars?

The reason why you add the verm and water first is so that the verm soaks all the water up and then you basically coat it with the BRF.....I myself, even after doing it the right way for a while, did what you did on accident.....The problem when adding the water last is the BRF balls up creating one hell of a shitshow when you mix it up.....When I made that mistake I just had to take an extra 15-20 minutes to make sure all the damn flour balls were broken up and distributed evenly.....It was a bitch but the jars worked out fine....

Thanks for sharing your experience with that. I spent a fair amount of time breaking the clumps of brf as well. I suppose I will go ahead and inoculate them tomorrow then. Thanks again.
