Here it is:

.1 cup long grain brown rice
.1 cup vemiculite
.1/4 cup crushed flax seed
.1/4 cup crushed finch food(bird seed)
.1/8 cup wheat germ(optional)

Then I follow aliens instructions and boil the rice on low heat for 20 min. then add rice (and the water it was boiled in) to the dry ingrediants and mix well. This is usually the perfect water content and nothing else needs to be added. Occasionally a little water needs to be added. This usually happen when the rice is boiled at a high temp and alot of evaporation occurs.

Anyway, this is one way to use aliens substrate without the addition of quinoa, and it still makes a kick ass substrate.
