ok im using fine verm with brown rice flower an they seem to be taking there time with growth i gotta a little under half of each jar with growth after about 10 days,i figure its gonna take at least another week an half to be ready for birth.so i want to know if i added brown rice with the brown rice flower an fine verm if it will speed things up .an if so should i boil the rice first before adding to the mix or leave dry.an how much should i add to RR recipe for 5 half pint jars with the normal verm an brf an water .An should i add any more water or verm to the mix!

are you talking about opening up the jars and trying to change the mixture on jars that are already growing?? Really? a little less than 1/2 after 10 days? There are people here that would give a left nut to have that much growth after ten days. So now you have some growth and your inpatient ass is just dying to fuck it up. leave it alone. Let it grow, learn from this. Stick to the pf tech until you have at least a remote understanding of what you are trying to do.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

dont add anyhting, theres nothing that you can do to make it more fluffy unless its just flatened or something
it usually does take a while to colonize and if you believe your verm is the peoblem get new verm and try out the diff kinds let us know it always helps

Just use the basic recipe and be patient. It's the time-tested method. RR

If you want it to be a more fluffy just use a little less water.

It doesn't sound like anything is wrong. Like RR said, have some patience. So many noobs are in such a rush that they screw things up in an attempt to speed up the process. Spend your waiting time more productively. Read more threads here, plant a tree, have sex, whatever, just stop messing with the damn jars!

Try and get a hold of medium grade verm, seems like your getting not to bad results from your fine verm.
I use medium and have the same colinisation time as u.

i have found that when packing the jars do so without packing leave it as fluffy as possible. they colonize much quicker. obviously it is too late but there is next time.

mushroommarren said: I've used cooked brown rice in with the mix. It works alright. I was running low on verm too and needed some filler. Rice may not absorb as much water as verm (don't know?) but it is nutrient. My verm was uber fine and the vibration from the boiling PC for 90 min let it settle considerably, causing some dense packing. My colonization was definitely slower than yours though.
heres a pic of the verm..... not too great, IMHO.

Same exact stuff i got im actually a little under 50 percent each jar after about 12 days
