Warmpth vs light, for growing, pick one. (Grow question)

Let's say you married a sweet guy who turned out to be a scumbag. He spent all your money, lost the house you both owned, and he went to prison.
So now you have to live in an apartment with a roommate. Your roommate is on the lease, you're not, and he doesn't want you growing things. So you have to do it on the sly.
Have two choices to do the next grow. A room that's consistently about 20 degrees C (68 degrees F), but can only give it about 90 minutes of light a day without getting caught.
The other room I can give it 8 hours a day light, maybe more. But the temp varies between 14 and 18 C (57 and 65 degrees F).
Which room would you use?
Thank you.

Shrooms do very well with a little bit of cold and 18C is not that cold at all anyway.
So go to the light Caroline!

Yeah for sure. My cabin last winter (unfinished) got all the way down to ~40 at night for months and it barely phased my cubes. Could see my breath every morning and stuff left on the floor froze more than once. Phased my arthritis, but not my mush...

So now you have to live in an apartment with a roommate. Your roommate is on the lease, you're not, and he doesn't want you growing things. So you have to do it on the sly.
Being in a situation like this is much less than ideal, but I get it. I have engaged in risky behaviors that had terrible consequences for both myself and innocent uninvolved parties too...
You're presumably grown, so I will spare you the sanctimonious crap. I will say that I also did prison time more than once because of the days I was less than conscientious like this.
Anyways, if you are going to try to "do it on the sly" around prying eyes, then I would suggest you get into growing other edible and/or medicinal varieties and get to the point you can just do it out in the open hiding it in plain sight and you can mix in a few tubs "on the sly" that have cubes in them. All the while your roommate gets the benefit of wonderful eating mushrooms, and is hopefully none the wiser. Unless of course you meant he doesn't want you growing anything at all, not just illegal things... If that is the case, then scratch that. Then my suggestion would be to tell them your mycology related activities (agar, grain prep, sub prep, cleaning tubs etc) is just prep for your off sight growing activities. For instance, you could say you found a friend that grows too and you share in the labor while they share space for your grows. Roommates gotta have hobbies/productive endeavors too, so you can spin this one, because spin it you will surely have to.
It is extremely hard to keep this involved of an endeavor completely secret. You might be able to hide the tubs, and get fruits without your roommate knowing if you're slick but if you have to hide every aspect of the process in secret behind closed doors, or only do shit when they aren't home? Well that it is an unenviable position indeed.
Better to figure out a cover story for your myco related activities. If it seems like you're playing cloak and dagger people stark snooping, and if it has already been expressly forbade for you to do something (i.e.- growing), people have a way of taking things even more personally than they may have otherwise if and when they find you out, and they could react in a way you both might regret for years and years to come. Now it's on your roommates radar to boot. This would have been a perfect example of what my dad taught me from a young age: "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission.", but that ship has sailed it sounds like. Proceed with caution my friend.

Thank you.
I can do it while he's at work.
All things considered, it's a better situation than the last couple years of my marriage. Hubby didn't beat me, but it sucked.
My roommate wouldn't call the cops or throw me out. He'd probably say "throw it all out or you're out."
I don't think I'll grow salad shroomies, it would raise more eyebrows.
I think I'll be fine. The guy is so stoned on weed all the time that he doesn't notice much. And he's a decent person, just paranoid, and kind of hates all drugs except pot.
Thank you.
