found this while skulking the back logs in the forum. anyone use this or know anyone one who does/has?
Alien Substrate Formula
3/4 cup of quinoa (health food store) 3/4 cup long grain brown rice (grocery store) 3 cups spring water 1 1/2 cups vermiculite (Wal-Mart) 1/8 cup flax seed (measured before grinding) 1/8 cup finch seed (measured before grinding) 1/8 cup rye berries (measured before grinding)
1. Cook the quinoa and rice (use the whole grains, not ground) by bringing it to a boil with 3 cups of spring water, then turn the heat down to a simmer, cover the pot with lid and set a timer for 20 minutes.
2. Important!! -- Be sure to cover the pot with the lid, otherwise water will be lost from evaporation.
3. While this is cooking, measure out your flax and finch seed and rye berries, then grind them up in a coffee grinder or similar.
4. Mix the ground flax, rye, and finch seed with the other dry ingredients, stir the cooking grains occasionally so as no to burn them.
5. When the grains are all done, turn off the heat and allow them to cool for a minute or so.
6. Now dump them and the water that is still in the pot (do not strain) all in with the dry mix previously prepared.
7. Mix this carefully with a fork (no hands) so it remains light and fluffy.
8. Cover and let it cool for about 15 minutes before spooning into jars. I use the vermiculite topping like PF and this has helped a lot to eliminate contaminants.
9. Don't pack the substrate when loading; try to keep it fluffy and pressure cook at 15 p.s.i. for 30 minutes.
10. If you use the PF style jars with holes in the lids, then cap the jars with aluminum foil. The substrate is very airy and makes any good cubensis grow very rizomorphic.

I've tried it a few times with poor results. Whomever came up with it was thinking okay, but it doesn't really work well. If you're doing cakes, this is what I use:
Pf tek recipe with a touch of stevia leaf, algit, and black mustard seed. If you can, use ground quinoa instead of brf.
Screw the alien, there are many other substrates that are superior.
