First time fermenting some feed - questions

[Jenbirdee]

I used Nutrena Harvest Blend, Textured Layer Feed to start my first ferment . I used a half gallon sized jar and 2 cups of Feed , filled until covered by 3 inches of filtered drinking water above the feed. And using a very loose lid.

—will it be OK that some of the Feed is floating?
Especially the black seeds. I guess there are sunflower or something.

And how often should I stir it?

Some will float at first. So long as it's in the water (and not stuck on the sides), I've never had an issue. I stir once a day and ferment up to 3 days.

I don't specifically stir my FF, it gets mixed a bit as I serve it each day. It's normal for some components to be more buoyant than others.
