More information would be nice...
It may be possible to start growing (inoculate) a bag , But unsure you would get to experience the growth stage and be able to watch for contamination...
Patience is key in this hobby.
Also unsure about leaving it for a Month before you inoculate...
Tell us more please Sir/Ma'am

So what I mean is, if I just cultivate it. Leave it for a month after its cultivated(ready to grow) and then do the steps that makes it start growing?

Inoculation is Introduction of Spores or Spawn into Substrate
Is this what you mean by "cultivate"?

We all live at home.. That isn't the reason you can't use the fridge...
My advice to you is wait til you move our of your parents house to grow. Grow bags suck anyway. Learn to PF tek or buy a PC and learn grains. All that after getting out of yo moms house though

You need to study bro, read threads, read teks, and use the search function. If you click on "search our forums" it will allow you to make more detailed and specific searches.
After full colonization, a month of consolidation will be fine. In fact you're first flush will be bigger, and some people contend that consolidation increases potency.

Under what basis does consolidation increase potency? Maybe for truffles, which seems to also be a little bit false since people are eating them early and still getting good trips.
In jars a month of consolidation would work but in bulk/growkits (this is an assumption, he hasn't actually showed pics of his kit) I bet he'd have very sad disheveled mushrooms that needed a lot more fae. You should see what happens when you leave a tray or tub for a month because you forgot about it... Just throw it in the fridge to stall it or just wait until after the month is up to begin the project.

Here's my advice: Check the top-right of the web-page. You're gonna find something like this.
 Use it to search the website to find information as to what you're looking for. Now, if you're going to post - that's cool. But give us a little more detail as to what you're trying to do so we can attempt to give you some accurate advice. Cultivating a box and then leaving it for a month isn't going to work, unless you had someone to look after it and do the maintenance. Unfortunately, this hobby isn't really something to indulge in if you're expecting to be traveling. Wait until you have some at-home time to do something like such.
The best thing I can recommend from my resources and the information you've provided is: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11661794#11661794 However, you'd still need someone to do some kind of maintenance, for example, harvesting and drying (so they don't rot).
