question about my spawn jars

How much water do you think I would have to mix in these to get the right hydration without over hydrating it!?

4. Do not bump your own thread for at least 24 hours. It's not fair to the other posters to have your thread constantly bumped to the top. Violators will have their thread deleted.
Rules Thread-READ BEFORE POSTING
Shake them up, soak for 10 minutes in tape water, then strain and spawn.

Try 1/4 cup of water in each. Boil for an hour or so. Shake around see if its loose and not packed and saturated. If its good at that, open and quickly wipe around the inside glass so there isn't and particle left on the upper parts of the jar as they could be a ladder for mold to grow down into the medium. Boil again for half an hour. Let cool for 6 hours. inoculate and let colonize.

Thanks guys. My jars are not hydrated, sterilized or inoculated yet. Sorry I never gave enough information, and sorry for the bump not familiar with the rules. I was thinking of adding some water just didn't know how much for proper hydration. Then I was going to sterilize. Not what you said saok and let stand and strain seems like it would completely saturate it to much to the point where there'd be standing water left within the jar when it settles. But they're not colonized.. not even inoculated so what procedure should I follow

What kind of grains are those?
You are supposed to hydrate them first, then load the jars and pressure cook them.

WTF are you talking about!!???
H20 or NAH, just said what you should do in case you had Grains / WBS that were ready to be spawned. By your comment it seems like you just jar'ed stuff and is waiting for people to tell you what to do, UM!!!!??? Read some Freakin TEK's! FrankHarigan, NAH, OTHER PEOPLE!

Well I have a mixture of popcorn kernel, grass seed, and brown rice/quinoa grounded into not quite powder but a sand like texture. I know you prob think its unusual but its a test substrate. I'm gona probably make some brf cakes when I get some verm. And possibly explore some other techniques. All I really need to know is how much water do you suspect would be needed. I'm gonna sterilize it afterwards

I have no idea....that powdered rice kinda messes things up.
No one uses that mixture.

ok, Use grass, or popcorn. Search those Tek's on the forum or the site.
Then go by them. Never used popcorn, but grass...I would say soak for 20-24 hours then simmer for ten minutes drain and dry.
and that means Soak, More water then you think you will need.

Popcorn is the worst grain choice.

Look up TrustedCultivators, use Frank Harrigans' Teks. You can only go wrong by not doing these teks to the T. the Letter. The blah

Alright thanks and il do a little more searching before posting.. I've been reading so much this past week since I've ordered a B+ syringe.. first time trying to grow and I keep looking at so much things at once its hard to get a grip on it all. I know BRF and verm is simple and I'm goin to noc a few jars of that just because it is. I'm goin to search a few on just grass and just corn for sure. I mislabeled the thread I think I was goin for more of a cake with these jars. With spawn you need to use a casing after 100% colnization is that correct? Where this kind of method I could just dunk it and fruit it because the cake contains enough nutrients to support fruiting? I'm very new to this like I have a huge interest in this hobby because it is fun and I've been picking liberty caps for 5 or 6 years now because they grow wild. I'm just waiting for my spore syringe to get here and trying to get as much information as I can get while not limiting myself to one technique and trying something new while I'm at it. Anyways, thanks for the help you guys. If you want you can close the thelread. I also have anothe thread that I wanted closed that I started. Shouldnt be hard to find I only have 20 odd posts and the majoriety of them are on this thread and the other on I started. Anyways thanks again.
