Spawn:Substrate Ratio by Volume or Weight?

When estimating the spawn to substrate ratio for a bulk grow do you go by volume or weight?

You can do either. But, volume is so easy.
20 to 25% spawn rate is near optimal.
Some my have differing opinions.
But, that rule of thumb works great for me.

12 quart tray surface, in a week. :grin:

yup either/or gets you in the right ballpark, you're mixin' a substrate not baking a pie

and opinions may differ but i agree with her ^^^^ 25% (1:4) is where its at. if you got extra spawn and want things done quicker then by all means use more, i just wouldn't try stretching it out further is all...
