Lol me too... Mine but I know how to keep my mouth shut. Also OP your only concern should be nosy neighbors or/and landlords. If anything be smart and carry the more conspicuous things in at dusk or night.
I usually buy a tub every time I buy supplies (can't have too many) so I just throw everything inside that tote and walk right in.

Growing in a apartment whether it is a studio apartment or one or two bedroom.
Obviously if you plan on growing mountains of mushrooms maybe a different space is in order. But i have done many bulk grows in my apartment with plenty of space and no troubles.
You dont have to deal with smells seeping into the hallways or anything and there are minimal Supplies need for a grow anyway.
Also op dont be so hard on yourself now. Follow the right teks and there is no reason you wont Have success or having to waste any money.

Lots of responses...thanks guys. Fortunately, I have no roomates, I'm just here by myself. My landlord is pretty cool and always lets me know a few days in advance if he does need to come in to fix something, so it would be easy enough to hide. Also, my apartment is a strange set up and I literally have almost as much closet space as I do living space so I wouldn't have much trouble.
As far as the girlfriend situation...I've been with her for a few years and have discussed the possibility with her. She's a fan of the fungus as much as I am so I'm sure she'd be delighted about the whole situation

Thanks man. I'm starting to seriously consider it, because I'm all set getting ripped off by shady assholes. Would you recommend one of those prepackaged grow kits for starters?

Fo the best bang for your buck. See i was gunna start out with grow kits but once you price out what your using and how much they actually charge it's ridiculous..
For pf tek you don't necessarily need a pressure cooker. You can steam sterilize
Look here http://www.shroomery.org/8409/PF-Tek
For your cultivation supplies i use:
http://www.mycosupply.com
Do you know what you need yet?
For pf tek
Typically
- brown rice flour -vermiculight - perlight
For a bulk i would get
-rye grain/berries -coco coir -verm
If you need spores, order from shroomery sponsors
There's many different grains and variable you can mess with when growing. It all depends on what tek you want to begin with.

I would still sit down with your girlfriend and explain to her that her boyfriend being a cultivator is not something she can tell her friends about. As hard as it is. This has to be YOUR secret. Do you trust her not to brag about you to her BFF? Because she tells her BFF everything. Just remember. Every person that knows is a person that could narc you out if their ass is looking at prison time. It happened to me. It can happen to you. I was lucky I was only selling ounces of green. Only had to spend 60 days after good behavior. Still the worst and most shameful two months of my life. I was lucky that I sprang for the good lawyer (drug money to the rescue... ALL of my drug money ) and he managed to explain it was only misdemeanor because there was only empty bags and a broken scale by the time they came. I was lucky enough to have a heads up. You may not get that luxury.

Indeed
there is no risk unless you are stupid about it
growing weed is much riskier in an apartment, that would be almost stupid if your coal filter fails(even an expensive one) you will have the cops in your apartment in a few hours due to neighbors likely, smell spreads several hundred feets easily or through ventilation
monotub is all I'm gonna say, stealth no risk of getting discovered don't throw out mushroom trash, find a common garbage can somewhere rarely
invite all your friends home, noone would suspect you are growing a monotub can be put in any corner/shelf until harvest, you can put a lock on it too if paranoid
and #1, dont sell or tell anybody, not even family/friends
#2 , why even care about the risk? do as you want, if they bust you, take the penalty, for your freedom of mind&body
#3 mushrooms are legal to grow in most states, at least the mushrooms I know, any type of spore syringe is legal too

Also. If you do grow. Search 'Let's Grow Mushrooms' and watch it. If you follow that technique TO THE LETTER and you buy your spores from a reputable sponsor you are basically guaranteed mushrooms.
Don't alter the method. Don't change it. Don't think you can do it better such and such way. Just stick with the method they show and you will have more shrooms than you know what to do with on the first try.
That method is popular for a reason. People who follow directions well get results with it.
After you've seen mushrooms grow and understood their lifecycle a bit more you can move on to grains. That is a good road to take. Some people have skipped cakes and jumped straight into bulk grows but I'm GLAD I did cakes first. I wouldn't have it any other way.

In case you haven't gotten it yet. Keep your mouth shut and your girlfriends.
I just went thru this shit wit my girl where she told somebody because she got excited. I told her if she opens her mouth again everything is going in the snow. Now I've spent everyday looking out my balcony waiting. (I never go quietly)

Grow sclerotia (philosopher's stones). Very stealthy and ideal for apartments- inoculate a few quart jars of grain, and keep them in a box in a closet. They'll be ready for harvest in about 6 weeks (about the same time as cubes in PF tek), and will continue to grow in vitro for up to a year. After harvest, you can case the leftover grain for spore prints and some powerful shrooms:

My first grow was in my university dorm room, the room was about 5' X 12'. Didn't get busted and it was awesome. Got cocky and was going to grow some bud, that would have been a bad idea!
