hey, got a problem! I'm about to do 12 PF jars. So that's 6 cups verm. 3cups water and 3 cups BRF (Brown Rice). I'm a little short, I only have 2 cups BRF... can I go on or do I really need that extra cup? Please let me know ASAP!

Yes you need it.
Can you get worm castings? You can subsitute castings in for BRF.
No matter what, dont skimp on your shrooms food! It will make them less potent, flush smaller and have small fruits.

why not pick up more flour or just make a smaller batch, worm castings arent a suitable substitute for brown rice flour, it can be used as an additive though

Maximum fruiting formula:
1 cup of brown rice flour.
2 cups of verm
240 cc's of water.
makes 5 jars.
so double that...and you will be able to make 10 jars.
thats what I'd do...until you get more supplies.
take care!~

If you have a blade-type coffee grinder, you can grind up some rolled oats (oatmeal) into oat flour and use that. Or grind up birdseed into flour. Or use whole grain rye or wheat flour (think I would prefer rye, wheat might make things too sticky), organic, preferably. You don't have to use BRF, it is just the best choice of what is easy to find (though I think oatmeal beats it handily for amino acid content).

Alright, So I mixed it all up, I'm doing 1/2 pints here. So I fill up the 8 jars and I noticed I have a lot of mix left, so I ended up filling 11 jars. My 12th jar I only had enough to fill up about a 1/4 of it. So I filled it a 1/4 and filled the rest with dry verm. Think that'll work? Should... now I'm just steam sterlizing my jars.

i wouldnt worry about it, i dont have a PC, i do everything by steam. actually i put another bigarse pot inverted on the the first (covered) pot. it doesnt exactly create pressure (who knows, it might make a tiny bit) but it at least keeps the water from boiling out. and my record stands at 0% contamination.
and thats with two cakes that i ressurected from the garbage that are starting to produce!

Under his instruction, I taped drumsticks to his head and turned him into a sort of mummy, or perhaps a caterpiller in a cocoon. He remains this way for about three hours, making bizarre noises, pretending to be a new species that must learn to walk and talk and eat, etc. And he communicates with other life forms by way of the antennae on his head. Eventually we jam a tube from a waterbong into it's mouth and figure he's learned all he needs to know.
