i have a fruiting chamber thats 13" tall. granted the bottom 3 inches will be perlite. im using 1/2 pint jars. and i originally had this great idea of suspending them using chicken wire so some shroomies could grow off teh bottom. but now im worried they will get too tall and hit my lid. so how tall will these bad boys get? i mean, the jars are almost 3" tall them selfs i guess. so that leaves me with roughly 7" IF they grow straight up. thast from the ground..hummm...seems like i need a taller fruiting chamber

13 inches sounds fine don't worry as long as you ain't mono tubing it worst comes to worst get a bag and tent the top or get the same tub again and flip it over and double tub it to make it taller but I don't see that happening

I grew mine as cakes (4) and had no problem with height using 2 small fruiting chambers about as tall as yours. I flipped one of my 4 cakes when I noticed them start pinning towards the bottom because the shrooms thought it ideal. I would not worry about underneath as much.

so dont even suspend them??? just put them on a jar lid or something?? i figured being suspended would be the best bet. if even just an inch or so...maybe ill grow some aborts

As a very++ general rule of them, it is not unreasonable for your p. cube mushies to be roughly 1-4x as high as the colonized substrate depth. There are always exceptions to the rule but typically it proves true...
FRX: A 2" deep easy-bake oven dish can produce mushies that are between 2-6" typically.

Why not just get an identical tub and sit it upside down on top of the other one as a lid? then you'll have an extra 13"
At least if you run out of room it means your fruits are huge. 
3-foot cube.. holy crap

I would skip suspending. Make sure you drill holes in 6 sides, perlite, dunk n roll, put em on the tops or tin foil, fan them for fun and talk to them. I got about 15g dry off the first flush and am waiting for the 2nd flush to get cracker like. And keep them moist.

well...i figured that if they were on chicken wire as a false floor, not only would it give the perlite more surface area. but more area for lil ones to grow. guess thats silly to think of new ideas! maybe later down the road. annnnd. why does everyone put the big side of their jars on the bottomed. they are slightly tapered, but the small end down. large end up! no?

I put them large end up and they did fine, still pinned mostly at the bottom though.

One end should be a tad concave. put a little extra verm in the depression and dampen it. Mine seem to enjoy it. Once you actually see them growing, all your questions will be answered. And then you'll have new questions.
