First Id like to apologize for bothering you guys with what I know is probably a common knowledge thing. However, as much as it is talked about I still cannot find a tek on how to properly put a cake together. I am a first time grower and just want to know how and/or what order to put the BRF and vermiculite into my jar. Any help for my noob ass is appreciated.

You can't follow the basic PF tek?
No real "order" to it. You simply mix the ingredients. It's like saying do you put in the eggs or flour first when baking a cake...

haha... no problem. Just look over the PF tek online so you can see pictures. And remember PATIENCE is key!
Get a Pressure Cooker too.

Actually there is a specific order which is preferable; the RR video suggests putting water in vermiculite before you mix it with the BRF. Let me look it up real quick, I don't remember why he does it but I'm certain it's preferable that way.

Yeah, the verm should be moist I guess so it picks up the BRF... That actually makes sense! Sorry!

Then I add my brown rice flour after I've added the water with the vermiculite because it just seems to coat it better.

I think you'd put the water in verm first before adding the flour to keep the flour from clumping. You don't have to but it is easier to work with.
2 parts verm, 1 part water, 1 part brf. Mix verm/water, add & mix flour, load into jars with a spoon or something, slide them around on the counter till the substrate is even leaving 1/4 inch of space on top, then add dry verm layer on top and PC. Be sure you have foil covering the holes really well or water will get in and screw up the water content.
