About 6 1/3. You probably want at least double the amount of blanket first though :thumbup:

I would recommend getting the 66 qt version of the tub in the top pic.

That is what most of us use for monotubs with 1 brick of coir, 2 qts of verm, and 5 qts of water. Oh and a dash of gypsum is good too

Hypothetically, what would happen if you used less than 6 quarts of spawn? Say, 3.5 quarts?

Kind of depends on the surface area of the bottom rather than the volume of the whole tub :thumbup:

I guess it would be almost double the amount for a 66qt.

Probably about triple the amount of blanket though :laugh2: Damn autocorrect!

Fill up the tub with water, one quart at a time, until the desired depth is reached.

This will give you a very rough estimate of how much substrate material will be needed.
