Spawn:bulk Ratios

I'm sure it probably depends on what you're going for: one flush wonder, overall yield, time, etc.
but in your opinion, what is the ideal spawn to bulk ratio? I used to use about a 1:1 ratio of rye to coir, but my projects got derailed before fruiting, so I don't really know how it would've worked out. I also think I'm going to try oats this time around.
I'm less concerned with time, and more concerned with overall yield and beefy fruit bodies.

I would start high and go lower as you get better with identifying clean spawn and good sterile technique and substrate prep skills. But I'm a cheapo. Don't like using more grain that I need to

All of my sterile technique was good, I got 0 contams out of probably 30+ culture/spore transfers.
I have a lot less experience with substrate prep though.
When you say lower, you mean less spawn more bulk sub?

Don't have 'em yet. I'm still waiting on part for my PC and then I'll start my agar work.
I'm probably 3 weeks out from spawning I'd guess,

I'm gonna start with 12/15 quart jars and will probably spawn to a tub or two. That's sort of the purpose for this thread though. Not totally set on number of mono's
I think I did about 1 cup of dry rye per qt jar last time.

If you have the space and 15 jars do 3 monos or 2 monos with 6 qts and a mini mono with 3.
You want 5 qts standard. Get two 66 qt totes and two (Three for safety) bricks of coir. For the mini you can get a 27 qt.
Sterilite brand is the best, everything else is shit.
IMO if you're new to this just prep enough for 2 monos, 12 jars (two for safety).

The last time around, everything went perfectly from spore to colonization, but while my trays were fruiting in the fc, my house got raided and burned. So, not sure how good it would've turned out 
I wouldn't say I'm a total noob, I just haven't had the success of fruits yet, and it's been a couple years so I'm trying to refresh myself on the info/procedure.
quite a few new teks have come out since then too which is nice

ill probably just do the 2 mono's with 6 qt's each then. Not too interested in mini's.
I'm more so looking to start building experience to work with gourmet's and medicinals as a side busniess, so I'm not too concerned about failing or time to fruits or anything.

I like my Sterlites but for the same price Hefty tubs are way thicker and more stack friendly. It's the tub TL ends up working with in this tek.
Kmart is tub heaven. Especially during the holiday season, half of the store is literally tubs and bins of different sizes.
