Did some searching, couldn't find the answer

How much spawn in a 40 gal mono? I think it's 10 quarts, but am not too sure.

use a 1:2 spawn ratio.  1 part spawn to 2 parts bulk substrate.

Well if I'm using a 1:3 ratio how many quarts of spawn go into the tub? I could use a quart jar and some verm or something to figure it out, but it would be nice if someone knew.

10 quarts of bulk sub would get 5-6 quart jars of grain spawn from me.

So 15 or so quarts of spawn + sub would be sufficient for a 40 gallon mono? I'm looking to get a 4" depth or so. Maybe a little less.

Damn you guys are using some high spawn ratios. I always use at most a 1:3 if not a 1:4 ratio.

the idea is that you want the mycl to take over the bulk sub faster than anything else can. lower spawn ratios are said to increase contam risks.

I ain't doin' the math for you.  :crankey:  I know how much spawn is needed to fill any size tub no matter what spawn ratio I decided to use.  I use a high spawn ratio because 1) I have the spawn and 2) A higher spawn ratio is insurance against contaminates, colonizes faster and has more flushes.

Oh, I don't know- I think it's lame that people come here and ask others to figure how much substrate they need.
You're looking right at the tub- if you can't figure it out, then you need to work on that.

I'm pretty sure I can figure it out. You don't need to be a dick about it. Stop being so concerned about your e-penis.

Pour quarts of water into your tub untill you have the desired depth, you can even dip a ruler into the water. Now you also have to factor in that your substrate is not as dense as water so it will end up a bit higher than the water was but it is no big deal.
