PF-tek: density of brown rice flower

I think I've added too much water to my substrate so I'd like to compare the ratio (in volume) between brown rice flower, vermiculate and water of my substrate to recommended ratios of various teks. So I'd like to know: how many milliliter is 1000 grams of brown rice flower? (sorry no brown rice flower here and I don't wanna buy it, 'cause I've already spent quite a lot of money)

umm... im not sure i understand the question..
1 part flour (BRF, Rye flour, whole wheat flour etc) 1 part water (H+2O) 2 parts vermiculite (medium or fine)
mix water/verm/flour in a bowl.. Its not complicated..

Thanks, but I would like to know:
1000 grams of brown rice flower = ??? milliliter of brown rice flower
So if you put 1000 grams of brown in rice flower in a measuring cup, what's the volume you measure?

you measure it out by volume, not weight
1000 grams equals 1000 ml or 1000 cc for liquids anyways

I know but my tek says: mix 500 ml of water, 220 GRAMS of BRF and 1000 ml of vermiculiet. I very much doubt if the volume of 220 GRAMS BRF equals 500 ml (if it's 500 ml then the ratio is fine), that's why I wanna know.

Use cups for measuring. They are cheap and are really good at getting the perfect mix. The have several sizes, ranging from 1 cup size down to 1/8th cup.
If you really dont want to spend a doller on measuring cups, i suppose you could use a small tea cup.
A simple way to work would be 2 cups verm, 1cup water, 1 cup brf. This would give you the right ratio for the mix. But you wont know how many jars it will until you pack the jars. But it will work.

You don't need measuring cups for this. It's all about volume.
2 bowls verm 1 bowl BRF 1 bowl water
Viola.
Mix it together well. And, this was the most important tip I ever picked up while doing PFTek: If you have standing water at the bottom of your sub mixture (which you probably will) drain it out. That's it.

Same thing on a larger scale but harder to maintain acuracy.
Thats alot of substrate. Enough for probably 20 1/2 pins.
I only do between 4-8 every month or so.

It's just an example of how the volumes work. That's not that much sub, either. Each half pint is only a cup, so 12 half-pints, or a full rack, is only 3 quarts.
