Use a smaller tote if you dont have enough spawn for a big one. 2 quarts is perfect for a shoebox dubtub at 1:3. Shoeboxes are usually 1$ each. Start some more bags
Shallow subs work but require more maintenance, IE misting or bottom watering,
and really narrow range like 1:1 will colonize and fruit fastest but give lower Biological Efficiency overall. However if your spawn is questionable this gives least amount of time for contamination to set it. If its super bacterial You can mix 1:1 with coir prepped dryer than field capacity (1-2 drops not a stream) then if you get a massive pinset you can bottom water. But make sure to not overdo it.

also a 2 and 8 inch sub is going to dry out and shrink all the same. both depths have the same surface area.

Of course they have the same surface area, difference being that one has 4 times the volume of substrate beneath the given surface area. This isnt a debatable variable. What your saying is straight up fake news.

A wide mouth quart mason jar filled with water halfway will take 1/2 of the time that it would take a wide mouth quart mason jar full of water. is just pure common sense.

Update and question: I ended up using about a 1:4 ratio in my 56 quart tub and that got me to about 2 3/4 inches plus I put a 1/4 inch casing layer on. It's been 9 days and I had it wrapped in a blanket because my house gets a little cool at night. I took it out to expose to light and this is how it's looking. There's still some moisture on the sides of the tub so I'm hoping the substrate still has enough moisture. Should I just let it go and be patient or is there anything else I should do to put into fruiting conditions? My house is generally between 65 and 72 depending on time of day.
