Do mono tubs stink?

I live in a large studio apartment. I was wondering if I were to try and do a mono tub set up, would it stink? I have seen different teks using things like poo and coir. I would imagine poo smells. What about coir? What is the best way to grow lots of shrooms in a small set up? Stick with cakes?

poo smells like grass, not so much when its colonized I imagine though I've never used it. Coir is just coconut husks if I'm not mistaken and so doesn't smell like anything. Unless you get bad contams it shouldn't be very smelly, maybe in the area, but it wont stink up your whole place.
Unless you contam, that is.

What do you guys that grow in smaller spaces prefer? Is there really any advantage to using cakes? Other then the simplicity, or should I say the fact that they are beginner friendly?

i run 4-6 52 gallon tubs in a 1 bedroom apartment all day every day. It doesn't smell like anything unless you stick your head in the tub.

How much are you growing? Cakes are great for personal use, but if you need a lot you should be looking into doing bulk grows with monotubs or a greenhouse. Since you're in a studio I would go with monotubs since they can be moved or covered easily when you have unexpected company stop by. Plus they are virtually maintenance free (nothing plugged in, no humidifier needed, etc.)
