Idea on a mixed sub for my current grow. Thoughts?

My jars have begun reaching 100%, and I'm starting to rack my brain on a bulk sub. I've got a bunch of stuff around the house, so I'm thinking of a " let's see what the hell happens" sub.
1/2qt each of straw, brf, and desamanthus root bark, all ground really fine. Then added to a 25/25/25/25 mix of cow poo, hpoo, coir, and verm with a handful if gypsum for a total of 12qts. Finally, spawning with 12 pf cakes.
Basically, just throwing in a little of everything I have. What you guys think?

Why not follow a proper proven tek for your first few grows? That way you'll have a good chance of success

I just got a bunch of different shit running through my head. My original plan was hpoo/coir/verm at 50/25/25 with a handful of gypsum. That worked well for my first grow.
Then, I thought, I've got some cow poo too, may as well throw some in. Well, with my overactive brain, I started thinking about other stuff I have to throw in.
However, that's why I'm on here: to ask for experienced insight to my ideas.

brf isnt a substrate, it needs to be sterilized and sterilized media/anything cant be spawned to in open air. also anything wood is a trich magnet, leave the bark out.
anything besides coir,verm,gypsum needs proper pasteurization but I guess you already knew that.
goodluck!

Ok, i thought I may be avle to just pasteurize the brf along with the rest of the sub, and I didn't know that about the bark.
A slow cooker on the keep warm setting gives me a lot of comfort when pasteurizing. Start the timer when internal temps reach 140°, and it never exceeds 155°.

Ok, so probably back to my cow poo/hpoo/coir/verm at an all around 25% with some gypsum is my best bet huh? Maybe grind a qt of straw powder to mix in.

yup, all those are good substrates!
if you wanna throw in brf, dog food and other weird stuff you find in the house you can load it into jars and PC them, ala MudaFukas bottle tek

PC is coming at tax time at the latest, if I cant afford one before. I want to get into agar and grains, so I'll definitely need one.
The desmanthus root I'll save for the naptha and iso.
