Suggestions for my limited supplies (2nd grow, attempting monotub) 1

I'm reaching out for people who may have experience in my position.
Tonight I bought my very first prrssure cooker, but I was unable to obtain any brown rice flour OR vermiculite. I was going to make some standard pf cakes for spawn.
So, since I couldnt find those materials, I went ahead and bought the only grains I could find, Quinoa and whole brown rice.
Im cooking the brown rice to PC and Im gonna attempt half of my jars befote I get more suitable substrate.
so basically I was just wondering if any of you had suggestions for this first batch, should I add the quinoa? Ive read the 9er among many other teks, but I dont have every supply so Im going off of the knowledge I used to fruit PF cakes, basically

put your whole brown rice through a coffee filter, and you have brown rice flour. I always buy whole rice and grind it myself, I actually havent seen it in flour form in a store. Dont cook the rice. Have you read any teks, or are you completely winging it?? Do you have vermiculite?

Guys, I said in the original post I couldnt find verm.
Im already PCing my improvised brown rice and quinoa grain substrate.
Guess Ill just see if these work for now until I find more suitable substrate.

I wouldn't get too optomistic. Trying to improvise that massively on your second grow is bound to go badly. Best of luck i guess.

I've already seen whole brown rice get colonized before, I just added quinoa to see what would happen

I've had pretty decent success with straight brown rice cakes. I fruited them in a shot gun. I also just spawned 2 monotubs with straight brown rice spawn. Just make sure it's not too sticky or it takes a while to colonise.

UPDATE
Well I got a contam, ON DAY 2
I was just doing some reading and read something that I forgot I had read years ago. High temps while incubating is just asking for mold..
I was thinking, store jars in a convenient, inconspicuous area out of sight.
Well I put them in a cabinet in my WARM AND MUSTY LAUNDRY ROOM, failing to realize that I can almost start sweating in there by just doing laundry.
So anyway I moved them to the shelf in my room where it is much cooler and should be undisturbed up there.

It was white and looked exactly like cobwebs with black specs, kinda.
It smelled funky but was nowhere near as bad as other contams I've had.
I hope this change of temp helps. I can't believe I didn't think about that. I knew it was warmer than everywhere else in there

Yea from the way you describe it, that jar won't recover. It's fucked. You might as well start a new project.

What? I made 10 jars Who makes just one jar...?
Anyway i threw out the contams and when I got homr this morning I found MYCELIUM
but yeah lack of vermiculite was my ultimate downfall, and the putting grains in a hot place.
Anyway, soon as I get some verm ill probably make another 14 jars
(another dozen and the 2 unused jars)

Just some "breathable" bandaid tape.
I just bought pint jars, verm, and little cooking trays.
I still have 2 and 3/4ths of syringes of spores left and invested in the pressure cooker so i should be good to go right? At least as far as spawn
Really,looking for suggestions on my substrate, as that is literally the only thing i havent bought,yet

I think coco coir is the most forgiving sub. Mix with vermiculite, or even by itself is OK.
You can buy both online for not much $.

I think that's what I've had my eye on
I took this hospital grade disinfectant from my job and gloves and what not. I hope it makes a difference
