Everyone's conditions and genetics are different. Part of the challenge is finding the best combinations of teks and variations on those teks that work for you.

It entirely depends on the substrate material.  The more nutritious by volume a substrate is, the slower it will be to colonize.  While that may seem counter-intuitive, it's important to remember that fungi are not plants.  They are decomposers by nature and eat the leftovers.  You wouldn't feed vitamins to a cockroach.

If using manure or coir, stick to two or three parts coir to grains, and when using straw, one part spawn to ten parts (by volume) straw.  Don't get anal about trying to measure it exactly.  Just estimate in your head as you go along and it will be good enough.

Ah, failed to take into account the different substrate. Thanks for the clarification!
