combining rye spawn and crumbled brf cakes

I have 5 quart jars (each only 2/3s full so maybe 4 full qts) of rye spawn that I inoculated last week along with 12 brf cakes. I had originally made 6 qts but lost one to pin mold. I was planning on doing a G2G with one qt and using the rest for my fist mono tub. I was planning on using Damion's 50/50 tek but I am going to be a little short on spawn. Should I crumble a few cakes into the tub to make up for being light on spawn or should I do a half recipe and be a little heavy on spawn for a faster colonization? Everything I have came from the same spore print. Thanks in advance for helping another noob!

Kinda confused about your post...but If your throwing it in a monotub add more coir or poo or something nutritious (add more substrate)...idk if i answered your question

Get a smaller tub, and increase your casing layer to fill in the holes. Coir/Verm will work, you can also add Poo. just make sure and pastureize correctly. Are your BRF cakes done colonizing?
BRF cakes make a poor casing material, (not saying it can't be done) the problem with BRF cakes is that they are really high in nutes. When you break the cakes apart your asking for contamination issues. I have had BRF cake cased mini's that I have gotten a few good flushes off of. Eventually they always give out to contamination. I would consider just making a smaller tub to fit the amount of substrate you have.
