Gonna Grow, Have questions

Alright, so I've been lurking around and I think I'm going to start. I've done research and know pretty much the basic PF-Tek, I read the 'simple minds' one a few times and I've nearly memorized it. (http://www.fungifun.org/English/Pftek)
anyways, however, I have a question. So, I share my apartment with a friend who doesn't like anything to do with mushrooms, so i'm going to need to hide and conceal this. i have a cabinet to put this all in for fruiting. i don't really think I want to do 12 jars worth of cakes, I only want to do 2 jars of cakes just to see how it goes for my first time. about how many grams (wet) do you think will come from each jar cake?
Also, how big does the fruiting chamber have to be? i have one that's pretty much the size of a shoebox, however it is all plastic, like a rubbermaid.

Do a monotub.
SGFCs do not do well in stealth.
You will need 4-5" of perlite and then 4-5" on top of that for clearance and headroom so pretty much a 10 inch tote, at the least.

tubs dont do that well in cabinets either. shrooms generally dislikes it if you grow them in a house with someone who doesn't want you to do it.

don't bring an unwilling friend into a felony hobby. that's just a super dick move. but did you know 99.6% of friends you need to hide mushrooms from are actually parents.

My mom didn't care.
She raised me right. She also knows how to play the "I didn't know Officer." card and I'd be god damned if I didn't play along with her.

Sounds like my mom but I haven't lived with her in years but she does have an Idea about the wireless hacking and the LSD use and when I grew edibles she pretty much surmised that I learned that from growing cubes. She just turns a blind eye.

Yea like 15 years ago I drilled a hole in the back of my dresser so I could put a light into it ir something, I was trying to do a stealth grow some how.
My mom found it and thought the rye bags were full of marijuana seeds or something.

I live on my own now but my mom came and asked what I was doing with all this shit and I told her (At the time I was running one mono, not five) that I was growing mushrooms to eat.
And she said "Oh... Those kinds of mushrooms.... They grow them all the time in Europe. I didn't know you could in America."
"Uhm... Yeah, sure."

Alright, so i think im gonna do it. However, due to restrictions, I can't be able to make the jars and sterilize them, so im just gonna order them pre sterlizied, do you think theyll still be alright? Im ordering a spore syringe for the rest, so im not getting a whole grow kit.

EDIT: also, would it be okay if i kept the friuiting chamber in my closet or inside a cabinet? (To be hidden)
And, whats the easiest fruiting chamber? Monotubs seem good but i dont think my current tub is big enough.

So funny! When I was a little shit head years ago living with my father. Every spring I used to take the back of my dresser out and put it against the window with tinfoil and start my outdoor crop like that!
Busted every year! hahha 
We still laugh about it to this day!

Well, I guess that's your call...right? But I would avoid pre-sterilized jars. There are some drawbacks going with pre-sterilzed.
1. Depending where you get them and the care taken, they may not all end up being sterile. 2. The BRF/Verm tends to settle/compact during shipping. 3. The dry verm layer may get disturbed and mixed into the rest of the jar rendering it useless.
You would be best steam sterilizing your own jars. Or doing it somewhere else. But then another person knows you are up to something. And with an unknowing roommate, just sounds like shit could go downhill. But hey, I'm not your boss. People are just trying to give you GOOD & Friendly advice....

Not me. I'm here to give you real & angry advice. Don't fucking grow where someone doesn't want you to. Don't fucking grow WHERE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO.
That's a douche move and you won't get far from that decision without some kind of regret.
Also pre-sterilized jars are fucking shitty and you'll waste your money. If you can't do any kind of maintenance or proper steps in your grow what's the fucking point?
Have I mentioned DON'T FUCKING GROW WHERE SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO?

I could be nice if this guy hadn't already proven that to some degree, he's willing to disregard other people's wishes and potentially their safety to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it.
Got some growing up to do is all. I soften up to everybody eventually when they have their shit together.
