Couple quick questions...

I'm new here, been lurking and reading guide after guide after post after post
and i have yet to come to a conclusion whether or not growing mushrooms creates a noticeable odour or not.
You see, because i'm going to university in the fall, i'm still livin at home to save cash. So a strange odour coming from my already smelly room might spark a reason for further investigation, and shit will hit the fan if found. Depending on the smell though, my 2 friends and I have many other possible locations, it's just my room would be very suitable(it's a sweet room ahahah)
So yeah, from inoculation to harvest, do they create very much of an odour, in a proper terrarium from the PF TEK (or at least something similar)??
Second question: I know P. cubensis don't need light for photsynthesis, and that the presence of light (in particular frequencies of blue light) is more to ''let the mycelium know'', so to speak, it's time to grow fruitbodies. Am i right in this thinking? If i am, does that mean like 2 or 3 hours of indirect sunlight would be enough for mushrooms to grow, and that having more wouldn't create better growing conditions?
Thanks guys (and gals?), love the site, everyone seems extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I'm just glad to have found a hobby that isn't mind numbing like my many nights spent kicking ass on guitar hero, high as a kite

not too noticeable, there is an odor but nothing like marijuana

you should try closer to 12 on and 12 off.. blue christmas lights work fine same with blacklight style blue lights

alright so they give off a bit of a smell, sounds good, might keep it behind my buddy's pantry that you have to access from the basement
but blue christmas lights?? can someone else reinforce this statement? i read about the effectiveness of like 20W bulbs and stuff, but if blue christmas lights would work than i might as well go start my operation right now and buy the lights over the weekend
but has anyone else heard of success with this method?
