How's this for a Spawn:Poo Ratio?

First of all, let me say (with LOVE )... FAREWELL PF CAKES!  you have been good to me over the years 
six fully colonized/birthed/cleaned PF cakes = (roughly) 1 lb. five pounds of pasteurized H. Poo = (roughly) 15 lbs. per 6.5 quart tub, i used this ratio (roughly):
1 lb. spawn (6 crumbled cakes) + 3 lbs. H Poo this mixture yielded a substrate depth of (roughly) 4", maybe a bit deeper.
this made FIVE tubs (i used the 6.5 qt. rubbermaid shoebox tubs) then for good measure i took my remaining & lonely 3 cakes, shredded them with a cheese grater and used them for a final top dressing/spawn layer for those 5 tubs.
i've heard peeps say use a ratio of 1:10, some say 1:5... i'm not totally sure what this breaks down to mathematically, but i'm pretty sure these 5 tubs should colonize like a MOFO! lol
i tighly covered them w/ heavy duty reynolds aluminum foil and gave em all plenty of breather holes. stuck em in an opaque rubbermaid tub in a dark, warm closet... i got the "outdoor" temp probe from my Accurite inside the tub w/ the monitor sitting on top of the tub. w/in a couple hours they had the inner temp up to 79 degrees (the ambient room temp is around 70 degrees) and today they're at 80-81 degrees w/o any added incubation. my space heater hasnt even been on. not to mention the humidity radiating from the tub has raised the ambient closet temp from 30% to 44%! LOL
OMG i can't fucking wait to peep these - ima wait 5 days before i even crack the lid on the tub.  
what a sendoff for the last of my PF cake babies!  whatcha guys think?

so what you are saying is i should heat my house with incubating mono tubs. ooor maybe just incubate a box of quarts on top of a monotub good luck guess u'll update in 5 days.

nah. just saying that these must be colonizing alot faster than my last spawn run. and, that since there are these 5 newly made tubs + 3 older poo casings (8 total) packed into a big 30 gallon rubbermaid they're generating a good amount of heat on their own. i don't think i'm the first person who's noticed that anything that's in the process of colonization generates its own heat and perspiration. guess i'm just saying it's not ALWAYS necessary to go as far as making a TiT or heatbomb to incubate your spawn/poo tubs. they tend to incubate themselves.
on the other hand, if you have enough mono tubs to heat your whole house... you're at a better place in your growing than me! that would be something.
really, i just wanted to know if anyone uses a spawn ratio that heavy... and sorta got off the subject.
