Need updated literature on Monotubs,Spawn Ratios etc

Hello.
I've used google and the hitchhikers guide, i must have missed what i'm looking for.
See my first Monotub went well, and got 2 flushes. My 2nd tub got contam right away, but im pretty sure i know why. For me, my thought is that still being new the best way to go is straight to fruiting to avoid contams and going 1:1 spawn to bulk. Rt now i have a lot of 1qt fully colonized jars and a lot of 4 oz fully colonized jars which the 4oz ones are all from same agars.
What i need to know is, what monotub tek to use? The shotgun one sounds good because it sounds fast.I just need to get these recolonized as fast as humanly possible.
I have brand new bucket of coir/verm and a few 32qt sterilite 32qt tubs, also have shoeboxes but i dont find success with those.
I plan on just using a layer of verm to cover everything, or verm/coir.
- So should i shotgun tek my tubs? Is there a great guide on this?
- What are the advantages/disadvantages of 1:1 ratio?
- Is it bad to mix a bunch of 4oz separate jars even though they are from same agars?

These are my favorite setups for mono's and mini mono's like your 32qt tubs. They work really well in most conditions whether your area is humid or dry they still work. EZ Dial tubs
I'd recommend at least 1 to 2 if your fairly certain the spawn is OK. 1 to 1 is a little much imo but it'll work for a few mushrooms for sure. I would skip the verm layer and just go with coir or coir/verm for a top layer.
And na if the jars are clean no problem mixing a bunch of the smaller ones together in a tub.

Fast, cause you make all the holes with one hit from a shotgun?  Seriously, what WyoMX and fiddle wrote. EZ dial is the best mono imo but we also need to know about your spawn (grains or PF tek). Shoeboxes are great also.

Advantage: fast colonization Disadvantage: less water content
