upcoming bulk grow (need tips/ratios)

i intend to spawn WBS to a ph balanced coir/coffee substrate, and case with jiffy mix. i have 4 18 gallon rubbermaids lined with trash bags to which i cut 4 popcan sized holes in and stuffed with polyfil to allow for FAE. i have many 'buy 2 get 1 free' packs of eco earth i got from the pet store (forest bed seems rare where i buy my coir).
my major problem is the right amounts of WBS to coir? how many quart jars will i want to use per tub? how many bricks of coir?
the way i have it calculated as a 1:4 ratio is 2 quarts colonized WBS spawned to 1 brick of coir (estimated 8qts per brick). so for an 18 gallon tub to be 1/3 full (5' deep) it would need 6 gallons of substrate. for 6 gallons of substrate at a 1:4 ratio i would need 6 qts of spawn, and 3 bricks (or 18 qts) of coir/coffee.
another question is fanning/misting/light. the main tek i have derived much of my bulk plans from swears up and down, no fanning, no misting, no light, ever. will these conditions be ok? i figure the fanning/misting will be pretty specific to my grow and i dont think anyone will be able to help much there, but with lighting, will i get away with none? or should i further modify my tubs to let some light in?
have i done the math right? is there anything im missing? any tips of tricks to bulk?

id cut a large square hole in the top and duct tape a plexiglass window to it to let light in... light is one of several pinning triggers, so it doesnt hurt, plus, with that window you will be able to see if things are going well.. if its too dry, you can mist the walls, too wet, and you can fan it.. teks can all be warped in different ways, dont be afraid to warp them however you want.

it would help to modify it even if its just to see. if its completely closed off how will you see when the substrate is fully colonized or when to take prints or harvest. and fanning a monotub is very important let others argue if they feel a need.

I say spawn 1 to 2 but most say 1 to 3, or 1 to 4.
When you spawn 1 to 2 it finishes in about a week, and in 10 days it's ready for the FC.
