Ratio of Karo Tek LC to HPoo question...

So I'm going to try a Karo LC tek. I've got prepasturized equine dung from Tenn. Stud (thanks Tenn. Stud, might have been a little late coming, but 7 free pounds eases the pain).
So my obvious question is this, what's a good ratio of liquid myc. to hpoo for a monotub?

agar said: LC to bulk substrate SELDOM WORKS. Colonized wbs/grain spawn to substrate. Works all the time. If everything is done properly.
After you have MASTERED wbs/grain spawn to bulk substrate. Then, try some LC to bulk substrate experiments, if you wish. Many have before you & 95/99% fail.
    Above is LC to bulk substrate. But, substrate is a specialized custom compost. And, it was done in a specialized container.
I don't think LC to poo is impossible. I think Blue Helix has had quite a bit of success with it. If it's your first time with LC, I wouldn't forgo the grain step. LC->Grain Spawn->Bulk Substrate. Just

Eek. I didn't realize. Should've researched that better. I was hoping to use the LC to sidestep dealing with grain entirely.

Thats not to horse manure exactly.....what agar used was his myco nitro which has horse manure,straw,chicken manure,a bunch of other things and is composted.He also said that he could only do it with his nitro and nothing else.

the rewards of grains and grain experience will reward itself within a few generations. And LC is something best suited for cloners and geneticists. Thats not to say that LC is ONLY for those people, but I honestly believe that LC is a fad that too many people use without realizing its best suited purpose.
people want to expand the life of their mycelium exponentially...well guess what? thats what G2G is for, not LC.
in fact, these days, i completely abstain from LC, as just another unneeded step.

you can use LC but the bulk material would need to be fully sterilized and sealed away from un-sterile air, e.g. in sealed filtered bags/jars just like regular substrate.
