How many casings should I make out of this?

I have 15 WBS pint jars that are done colonizing. From doing my research, I realize that spawning to poo would be a good way to go. However, due to time constraints and my living situation, I can't work with poo at this time. I'm going to case them using the 50/50+ tek. I'll be using two rubbermaid dishpans that each measure 12 3/8"W x 14 3/8"L x 5 1/2"H. How many of the jars should I put into each casing?

2 inches of substrate would be good...

Here's the math.
My tubs are 9" x 12" with a depth of 4". That gives me 432 cubic inches of substrate. Generally you want a 1:4 spawn:substrate ratio, so you'd just divide that by 4, or 108 cubic inches of spawn and 324 cubic inches of poo.
There's roughly 29 cubic inches per pint so you'd want to use 3.7 pint jars to colonize that poo BUT you can probably safely drop that to 3 pint jars per tub.
This falls in line with my experience. So far I've done two tubs (9"x12"x4"). One was given two pints of colonized WBS and the other was given three. Both turned out fine but I'd definitely do three from now on.
Good luck man.

Jesus. I wrote all that for nothing?
I really should read the whole post before replying, huh? Sorry about that.
710_Ashbury, I HATE it when I ask a question and instead of people answering my question, they tell me to do something else. So forgive me for what I'm about to say; Don't fruit straight-up WBS. I've asked (and seen it asked) and the answer always given is that WBS doesn't have the nutrient content necessary to grow decent shrooms.

What about fruiting straight rye? Cased with 50/50.

no idea, never done it... i'd say sure though.
i think it's just the millet that's not very nutritious

The only grain I've heard you can fruit without spawning to something else is quinoa.
