1:4 can work, it all depends on how clean your spawn is. 1 brick coir + ~2qt verm should be about 10-11quarts, and I'll usually use 4-6 quarts depending of spawn depending on how much I have going to equal about 4 gallons or 16 quarts total, when mixed (so between a 1:2 and 1:3 ratio usually). Spawn is so easy and cheap there is no reason to skimp when you spawn IMO

I have a 18 gallon monotub should a brick of coir, 2 quarts verm, and 4ish quarts of spawn do me well? I already know if I do that my sub depth will be off, probably around 2.5ish inches, is that okay? I've never done bulk

I used a substrate calculator and it says to a get a 2.75 inch substrate depth with 1:4 it would be 4 quarts spawn and 16 quarts bulk sub

Yeah, you can also just do the math by hand.
Honestly using a 1:4 ratio and only getting a 2.75" substrate is going to hurt your final yield.

I'd tend to agree with RR that genetically, you should be fine to mix them all in one big tub. You're working with MS, so they're all technically different strains, with multiple strains per jar as well. Doing this will keep your ratio high, and you can get your sub deep enough to hold the water your mushrooms will need.

Use six to seven quarts of spawn per tub.
If you spend too much time staring at the substrate calculator's crap, you're going to start thinking it matters to be so specific.
15 quarts of spawn in a 90 qt tub is almost 2-2.5 inches of grains by itself when broken up.
One tub, any size 60qt-110qt should have six to eight quarts of spawn.
If you use coir, add one brick of coir and two quarts of verm to that and you have yourself a tub worthy of an 8 ounces first flush

Dammit... I only have 13 jars and they arent totally full. Do you guys on here consider a quart of substrate a jar filled up to the 3 cup mark like all jars usually are? Or filling each jar to the top? thanks
