Substrate Calculator - It's Back! - Shows Spawn/Ingredients Needed for Any Container 1

TL;DR: http://substratecalculator.weebly.com/ (hosted on free web hosting so it doesn't disappear due to me letting a domain or hosting expire again) - original thread about it when I first created it: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15656577
I was on this forum years ago as "sgfcchamber" however I cannot remember the password for the account, nor the email address used when I signed up, so alas I have to start a new account.
Anyway, I created a substrate calculator way back then and published it under it's own domain name. I let the domain expire so it vanished from the web. This time I've uploaded the site I created to "weebly" which has free web hosting. This way it will remain on the web "forever" because me forgetting to renew hosting or a domain name can't now inadvertently result in it being taken down.
The original shroomery thread when I created the calculator is here.
Anyway, many thought it was useful and given my renewed interest in the hobby I thought I should bring it back...
So here it is: Bulk Substrate CalculatorAdded a new feature - Revisit & Share Recipes/Results!There is a new feature that allows you to revist and/or share your results/recipe so you're not forced to reenter your "recipe" every time. You can also share your recipe/results directly with others. All of this is done without saving any personal information, and is simply done by copy/pasting a URL that is generated when you click the "calculate" button. For example, here is "my recipe": http://substratecalculator.weebly.com/?uom=1&shape=2&length=26&radius=0&width=16&depth=3&ratio=2&cc=50&verm=40&cg=10&g=10&hs=0&sd=0&hm=0&cm=0&chm=0&wc=0&o=0By opening that link all values will be prepopulated and the results immediately calculated. Enjoy!

Awesome! I found the original recently and was so sad that the domain was down. I'll be sure to try this out, mad props! Did you code this by hand?
Also, I notice that you have to specify container size in length, width, and depth. Will there be much of a difference if you are using containers that taper outwards from the bottom? Most of the tubs that I encounter are at least somewhat tapered.

Thanks very much! and yes, I did code it entirely by hand. Want to go back through it and clean up some of the code, but not really a priority of mine given that it's not broken and works just fine, despite some areas of inefficient/sloppy/outdated code writing.

I haven't encountered a tub that wasn't tapered actually, so what I normally do when I'm entering the width/length is measure the tub at the height I want the substrate. So if you want a 4" deep substrate, take your width/length measurements at 4" from the bottom of the tub.
Alternatively you can simply use the width/length measurements from the sticker on the tub and you'll just end up with a marginally deeper substrate since the area you'll be putting the calculated mix into will be smaller than what was calculated (since tubs taper in from the top).

The problem that i find is that quarts of spawn are not really quarts as you only fill them 2/3 of the quart jar. That is what we call mycoquart.

Will add an option for designating whether your spawn jars are two thirds, three quarters or entirely full.

Will be making a few changes today or tomorrow, first "on the list" will be adding a "liters" column to the results field when "Metric" is selected as the unit of measure. If anybody has any other suggestions throw 'em out there while I'm making changes

Update - Changed "Gallons" to "Liters" on the output field when you select "Metric" as the unit of measure. Had some people saying they'd prefer to see "Liters" as an output since they don't use quart jars.

probably because its not really needed, ratios aren't that important you just throw some sub and spawn together until you reach desired depth

While I totally understand certain people having the opinion that it's not needed, I don't agree with the fact that nobody needs it. There are also plenty of people who agree that they need it and plenty of people using it (since bringing it online exactly a week ago there have already been 678 visitors with an average "on site" time of over 3 minutes per person).
I mean, have a look at how many people on other sites appreciate it, are happy to have found it, are using it, understand the need for it, etc:
https://www.reddit.com/r/shroomers/comments/3zu3s7/bulk_mushroom_substrate_calculator_calculate_sub/ https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/3zwe3w/bulk_mushroom_substrate_calculator_calculate_sub/ https://mycotopia.net/topic/76773-web-based-substrate-calculator-shows-spawningredients-needed-for-any-container/
Heck, the original thread for the original one I created years ago right here on Shroomery is 4 pages long with people saying they're happy to have it: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/15656577/fpart/all/vc/1
Just because things are easy for you and others who have been doing things for some time doesn't mean it's easy for everybody.
I made this to make life easier for noobs/first time monotub makers/those making "mini tubs" in strange containers/etc.
In every other area of this hobby there are teks & instructions on how to do everything for newcomers and those who need a "referesher" (because that's how you become proficient enough to learn/remember what to do in the future & how to do it). You probably don't need to read a tek or anything else to prepare your grain spawn...but I bet the first couple of times you did it you probably did some (or a lot) of reading to get it down pat and get it done correctly.
Imagine I gave you a tub you've never worked with before that are dimensions you've never seen and you wanted to try out a new "substrate recipe", something like a 30/30/30/10 mix of coir, vermiculite, horse manure and coffee grounds with a 1:2 spawn:sub ratio and a depth of 4" (you know, like first timers or people trying new things or people who want to do the same thing without waste every single time), I bet a calculator would be something that would make your life easier, especially if you don't want leftover/wasted substrate/spawn when you finished up. You're able to prepare exactly what you need and get exactly what you wanted to finish with.
And that's not even bringing up the topic of consistency...finding a mix, spawn ratio and depth that kicks ass can't be repeated unless you knew how you made it/set it up the first time. That's just my thoughts on it anyway...there are tons and tons of people who PM me or leave comments about how helpful this is, particularly those who are new and those who want to try new things but aren't necessarily new to "bulk" in general.
