What now

Hello all
I need some advice,
So i made up 6 jars, this was my 1st time and a few things went slightly wrong. I still have half a needle and im wondering if i should make another 4-5 jars encase these 6 dont work out. Which could take me something like 14-30 days?
This was my procedure including the accidents.
2 cup Verm 1 cup water mix well 1 cup BRF mix very very well used a spoon to put mixture into half pint mason jars. Did not compact, but i did lightly drop the jar on the table to help it settle
Now I forgot to wipe the rim around the jars,  Added dry verm, not sure if i put too little. put lid on, FORGOT to tape holes, sealed with tinfoil Got my pot, used jar lids and foil to prop jars off bottom, added a touch to much water and for a few minutes it was slightly spashing up towards the jars,
Due to forgetting the tape and water spashing up im worried the dry verm may have become wet. I was unable to tell just from looking.
I inoculated all 6 jars, I think a few of the jars did not get too too much spores as i was unsure but clearly saw liquid running down side of jar.
Now they are sittin on a shelf in a box at room temp. I have not pugged my holes.
Should I make another batch of jars encase this goes bad to save my time, not making mistakes this time? If i do make more jars and everything works out i think id have too many
what would you do?

The jars were noc'd up this morning, I decided to do it so that for better or worse I would have done the whole procedure and learned.
I suppose I will make another batch tonight and noc em up tomorrow.
Can I use any sort of tape?
and i put a bit more dry verm on top, for safety will a slightly smalller cake really have a bad impact?
thanks.

i use masking tape for my brf jars.
then just poke through it and leave the hole.
the only reason i use the tape is to help keep moisture from entering or exiting the jar during the steam
and to keep spores from landing on the dry verm filter prior to the jar being placed in its colonization place.
(dont disturb jars)

i agree.. best to know where your mistakes are than to not see them.
i use micopore medical tape, cuz its breatheable.
i ont use a dry verm layer cuz i didnt learn it that way, so juging by K00laid's advice make more jars.
but keep the others around for a while to see how they go.

A proper shotgun can easily hold 12+ jars, what size tub are you using?

I havent decided on what size tub, I was going to wait and see how the jars turn out then by a tub that could house all of them but not be overly big so that it would retain better moisture.
Going with a SGFC
