Small tubs / Minitubs / Monotubs

check this post out.
Ive always done mono tubs over cakes for obvious reasons. Yet ive had a shit load of verm and BRF left over from my starting days. And i would like to make the best of its use. Not in cake form. So i was thinking if a lot of people do 16quart minitubs with grain. Im sure that'd be possible with BRF spawn. So i decided to come up with a ratio of
3-4pints of BRF spawn / 1-2quarts BRF 6-7pints of Coir Sub / 3-4 4quart tub That substrate is 1.22 pints of verm and 4.87 pints of coir. a dash of gypsum. obviously just round up.
I plan to mix them up in a 4quart tub(i know the ratio basically makes it 4.5quart tub, but i round it up and get it to fit) and them stick them in a SGFC. And i know this isnt the ratio for a 16quart minitub, this is just a ratio so you dont have to destroy you SGFC and you could still make use of the perlite and plastic boxes you have.
With that being said, i eventually wanna do 16quart mini mono tubs with grain, but i have not had time to read through all of that post, which i will do tonight/tomorrow night when i get time. But i did want to just see what everyone else does with they're left over BRF materials and if anyone knows any BRF 16quart mini monotub ratios along with rye grain 16 quart mono mini ratios

ive done all kinds of dumb stuff with cakes, most of my pics are from cakes as thats just the way i was taught and didnt even know about grains for about five years. i was taught first hand by an old timer and never found shroomery till a few years ago and am really just learning in the past couple years. had i found shromery when i syarted ten years ago ......

I'm glad you found my topic; and I'll be glad to see what comes of your attempt here.

BRF spawn should be ok. Use as much as you can and make it small as you can

any suggestions on grain ratios when it comes to 16quart minis? and why make it small? i was thinking of using this ratio i posted above and then just instead of one 4 quart bin, using a bunch of rectangle 2inch deep pans. probably 4inch by 6inch, 2 inch deep. or maybe im thinking too hard and should just use the substrate calculator and adjust it to a 16quart mini? i have a really bad habit of making things harder than they really areQuote:

yes just count how many jars of ware it takes to get your depth and split the ratio accordingly

this was about 3 or four cakes to some bulk(never really measure with cakes just because of the amount of innoc points i don't fret about it just get my desired depth)
 this was a 1:1 in a silver bowl(no fc)
 these were 4 or five cakes to ?(some got more then others)
 and a cake or 2(cant remember to bulk in a gallon jar


and heres a pic of notahacker420

what do you mean the amount of inoc points? i have been hearting about that recently but not sure what it is. and when you say you just get your desired depth does that mean you just crush however many cakes you want just make sure you sub is atleast 2-4inches? and is that just your sub before you mix your spawn in?

it's the sub and the spawn depth combined for the 2-4"
