I always took the ratios as a per volume ratio.
Because of different densities, doing a ratios by weight may yield you a different ratio by volume. It’s all about what works for you, but I’m a little OCD so I’d probably measure out volumes as I prepped my boxes.
The other thing you can do is weigh them out and try to visually see how it looks. I haven’t done it that low, but I think you can go as low as 1:10 if you have the time and clean spawn, so pretty much any mix you’ll do will work.

Yeah for my mini mono I spawned 1 pound of rye into 5 pounds of sub and it's about to go into fruiting any day now! I spawned it on the 12th of this month and I'm hoping a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio will colonize faster.

shoebox with rye grain B+ clone spawn 1qt:2qt with pasteurized substrate (1:1:1 verm:coir:black kow compost + ~7% gypsum).
Not bad considering I left a week after spawning and its only checked every 2 days for misting (lid snapped in place).
This is the box after 2.5 days without care and with an ok first flush. I'll take it

I hope to have some fresh pics to share this week. I got another 5 LGT clone shoeboxes going and they are starting to pin. I noticed the 1st pins on the 8th day from spawn.

If those are dense and solid stipes like you say, you may be surprised bro. Did you get a wet weight or you skip that?

Well, that answers my question about what grains you are using currently!
Awesome looking B+! Hope that I can get that kind of results eventually!
I am so eager to get to the shoebox stage! The compact nature of the setup is a real bonus from my POV. Once I prove to myself that I am capable of this hobby, I'll probably start grabbing more shoeboxes whenever I see them cheap.

First grow almost there! I have been open air fruiting the last few days because of the fuzzy feet. May have been misting a bit to much for this first flush. Trying my best not to micromanage them to much.
