Starting to grow in a few weeks, just a few questions

Hey guys, I read the newbie question thread, couldent find any anwsers I was looking for so...I guess i'll explain my "setup" first, and hopfully you guys can give me a little input on the matter and suggestions!
Okay well first off the demensions of the "container" for fruiting I will be using goes as following. 14 inches depth, 25 across and 13 high. It will be in a dresser like thing underneith my TV set. I'm sure I can fit a small light in there to discreetly.
Now with those dimensions, how many cakes would be optimal to put in there. I was guessing around 6. Could I fit more? Should I go less?
Next question is about smell. I have a bedroom in the basement of my house. Will there be an oder that someone could easily pick up off of if they were in my bedroom? If there is only a smell when i'm taking mushrooms out, or doing any nessicary work I think it should be fine since it will be well after anyone is awake in my household, and I can smoke a ciggarette with everyone asleep in my bedroom without anyone waking up.
I will be using information from these 2 guides as referance, do you guys think this information is sufficient and well? http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23593 http://www.mycotopia.net/site/article.php?3.255
Next, about contamination. What are the general statstics of getting contamination? Say I steralize using a pressure cooker, and always wear surgical gloves and take every precaution I can - are there still high chances of contamination? I will be more then likly using Golden Teacher or Penis Envy strain as my start.
Next (sorry for all the questions), Is it okay to grow 2 differnt strains at the same time, in the same fruiting chamber?
That is all I can think of for now, if I have anymore questions i'll make sure to post back in here.
Thanks guys.

welcome!
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5493427/an/0/page/0
my FC lid, works for discrete grows as well. (A battery powered night light may work)
Try a few cakes like you said 6 and see how it goes, I have never had a smell with cakes, i use to grow @ my moms in a trunk and she never noticed, and she would notice EVRYTHING!!! Good luck
oh and the growing 2 strands, i don't see why not, as long as they are both helthy cakes when entering, you will be fine, btw what strands you got in mind hmmmm?

Oh yeah for one more thing, from the description I gave about my setup - with say 6 cakes how much (Weight) should I expect to weild off my first "batch" (before another batch starts to grow). In dried grams, please.
Just a rough idea would be good.

i agree, although i did do it anyway w/ a locked trunk and very little suplies. It is tough to say, you can yeild nothing.... that is the beauty of shrooms, you got to be patient and let them grow GL

Call me ignorant, or just plain stupid - but i'm not that consernd with getting busted. My parents are aware of my drug usage and such, hell I even keep this suitcase around my room and brought it in and out of my hosue in their plain view with no questions.

As for patience, that is fine. I'm just wondering if there is average you can throw at me - if not that is fine as well as I can wait and find out myself.
But about smell, does the are you are growing them in smell at all? Or is it just inside the chamber?
