What's the best thing to do with 2 - QT. jars of Rye spawn?

I was intending on having 4-5 quarts of spawn to put into a monotub, Damion5050 style. However, with a small pressure cooker and some self-inflicted issues with the following attempts at spawn making, I have two, 1-qt. jars of spawn ready to rock and roll. I'm assuming that 2 qts of spawn is too little for a proper ratio for use in a monotub with a brick of coco coir (Ohmatic style). So should I attempt a scaled down monotub? What is the best thing to do with that amount of rye spawn?

<check da gallery

Oh, that's exactly what I plan on doing. Now that I re-read my post, I realize I wasn't very clear. What I mean is, should I just do the exact same style of monotub, only smaller by half or so? I'm trying to figure out the best ratios of spawn to coir/verm for safe colonization. Should I just chop a coir brick in half and use a container that's approximately half the size of the one recommended in the tek?

smaller substrates tend to put off less of their own microclimate.
aka. the smaller the tub the more ambient humidity you'd need. (or the tighter the polyfil)
but fuck that. fresh air is #1
so you can put your coir substrate into a SGFC

Thanks, Penhed. Would you happen to have more details on the grow? what was your ratio of spawn to coir? Still trying to figure out the best route to go.

Dude he hit you with the pink buffalo...
but i agree with koolaid make some "cake style" blocks using like some smaller containers... just mix up the coir like the tek says and then scoop out what you need for your containers mix with the spawn and set aside for a few days... just discard what you dont use of the coir... I put mine in the compost when I have leftover... but im not sure if thats good or not...

If this is your 1st attempt at bulk, I'd go for a smaller tub, i.e one that holds about 6 quarts of substrate.
This way your 2 quarts of spawn will be at a 1:3 ratio which is good.use half a brick coir/verm...etc..
Why dont you try a smaller shotgun/mono hydrid tub, DOcT style;
basically make a shotgun tub, but dont put holes on the base and up the side where your sub will be.
I just got some nice containers 24lt that hold about 6 quarts, and have made them like this/
Either that or G2G to get about 4 quarts for the full brick.
