What is the highest spawn ratio you use?

Hello Shroomery! Merry Christmas to you All!!!  
I just have a quick question about spawn ratios and whether it would be smart to use a one part spawn to four parts pasteurized hpoo ratio to do up some shoeboxes? (Thanks Mushboy, awesome idea!)
My wbs grain spawn is good but I will be using the product of a g2g transfer for these shoeboxes and I am hoping to do a 1:4 ratio with them.... Really 1:3.5 with the remaining half quart being applied on top of the sub.
How much would this higher than normal spawn ratio affect spawn running or overall colonization times? How many days would a 1:4 ratio shoebox take to finish colonizing? Ten days or so? The lower the spawn ratio the faster the overall spawn running times right?
Does anyone frequently use a 1:4 ratio with good results? Does more attention need to be payed to sterile technique when using higher spawn ratios in order for them to be successful?
Thanks friends for taking the time to respond on this Christmas Eve..... Much love to You All, for Tomorrow, A King Was Born!!! Thank you!

Almost all people growing cubes do somewhere between 1:1 and 1:4 and it should colonize in 7-10 days
You're really overthinking this one. Just mix them together it doesn't have to be exact

I don't think I'm over thinking it, lol. Just seems logical that a 1:1 would finish colonizing before a 1:4. So I was wondering if the spawn runs would be that much different with varying ratios.
So thanks for your answer bod! Appreciate ya!

What kind of a ratio do you commonly use bod? My last project was a little over 1:1. With these shoeboxes I feel like my spawn is clean enough to stretch it out to 1:4 to make the most of this spawn.
Although this spawn was the product of g2g transfers and they took over two weeks to finish up.... I believe the problem was dry grains tho and not contaminates. Does that sound logical?

Could it possibly be a GE issue from my polyfill ports? They are quarter inch holes drilled out thru standard canning lids with poly stuffed as tightly as I could.... Could it be too tight?
Here's some pics: 
 This jar was 90% colonized after more than two weeks, here is another pic showing the rhizomorphic nature of the myc which appears very healthy right?:
 This is why I believe it may be a lack of adequate GE problem, because the myc appears healthy and good to go right? Here is another pic of it:

And finally here is a pic of a jar that was finished yesterday and I shook it to test for recoverability, this pic is approx 26 hours after shake:

I have a feeling you may say it looks like it could be possibly bacterial? With a 1:1 spawn ratio I should still get fruits (a flush or two?) from each shoebox though right? I have seven quarts of this spawn! Lol....
Thanks for your input, opinion, knowledge and experience.

I should probably add that I used only a half quart of colonized wbs spawn to inoculate these 7 quarts that are taking so long.... Wonder if that is my problem? Too small of an amount of colonized grain from the master into each receiving jar? That coupled with dryer grain could cause these slower colonization times right?
That's probably the problem, considering how clean it looks..?
