Uhh, what?
You don't spawn to grain/verm. You spawn to coir/hpoo/cpoo/straw and verm.
Just fruit your cakes as cakes and keep reading.

You dont think if i took my small brf/verm cakes n crumbled them into a brf/verm brick it would increase the harvest? I know most poeple go to grains. But i have alot of brf n verm so im tryin to use that. Im not making a mono tube i was gonna to bricks of brf/verm in a sgfc.

Spawning to BRF/Verm can only be done under sterile conditions, as pasteurizing a BRF/Verm mix will lead to contamination almost 100% of the time.
You can crumble cakes into Coir/Verm with little issue, but you're going to want to use more cakes than you would grain.

If you took your cakes and made them into bricks and fruited them in a sgfc it would probably reduce your yeild. Just fruit them as cakes
Hell I'm not even sure if I understood your question to be honest

This is the simplest bulk cake tek I have found. I had success with my first cake last month and this tek and I used 2 types of coir to test a theory. 1 jar of coir I sterilized with 90 minutes of steam in a pot with lid, and 1 jar I pressure cooked for less time. It totally worked out on both cakes and both had like 10-15gs for 2 flushes even though they weren't big.
I'm gonna do more cakes though because out of 10 cakes only 2 worked out, and my first round was the same results so I'm 4 for 20, and I need to refocus on just being precise with my cakes and inoculating. My first batch contamed straight out the needle, but my second had mixed mycelium that I failed no doubt by not even Lysoling my bathroom I innoc in. I mean I literally did no sterilizing except my needle tip and the brf cakes, and had a 2:10 success rate. I am happy but not content
Anyways good luck

Mush4Brains are you talking about creating a monotub end product or just a small brick fixture and replacing the grain with alot of brf jars?
