Dorm room growing?

Is it feasible to have a small grow op in a small college dorm room, my roomie is ok with it, but in a very unsterile environment (carpets), is it realistic to think i can avoid contamination?

there's nothing wrong with carpeted floors in regards to contaminations - unless - you have it in your mind to have your terrarium / greenhouse only inches off the floor.
Put your terrarium at waist height or so on a countertop and the carpets will play no role in your cleanliness.

sweet, what about the general messiness, I keep it clean, but after a weekend of parties it can be pretty bad.

the bottom line is going to be your ability to properly sterilize the jars and to have a sound inoculation procedure that is clean and sterile as well. Once you get past spawning (or birthing) the jars, the need for a sterile environment has past...now you're just looking for as much fresh air exchange as possible and being able to maintain the humidity requirements.
I'd definitely search for RR's "shotgun terrarium" tek. You'll end up with something that looks like this...

notice all the holes on all sides (even the bottom) and, more importantly how I have it up high, not down by the carpet. have fun.

dont worry too much, the cakes are most defensless against bacteria when they are colonizing in the jars but they are airtight... once the cakes are fully colonized and in the terrarium they are not so easily overtaken by bacteria. still, try using some disinfectant air spray after a huge party.

it is completely possible to grow in a dorm room assuming you have a stove or are planning on buying pre-sterilized jars
just make a smart choice i know dorm rooms can be hard to keep private so just consider the fact that someone might blab to the wrong person (not even meaning you harm) and you might be discovered and removed from your college

a small rubbermaid container in the corner of a room is all the room you need to take up.

Yeah, exactly. Don't tell anybody. Your roommate knows, that's already too many people who know. When I lived in a dorm years ago I knew so many people who got kicked out because they had weed in their rooms. Not selling or growing just a bag for personal use. If you get busted growing shrooms in a dorm room your likely to be kicked out of school and charged with manufacture of a controlled substance. As far as cleanliness. Keep the room as clean as possible vacuum regularly, take out the garbage frequently, and dust everything (walls, furniture, ceiling, etc). Also never underestimate the use of a shitload of Lysol; every couple of days spray so much you need to leave the room for a while.

Thanks for all the advice, my college is chock full of substances so Im not terribly worried about getting caught as long as my roommate doesn't feel the need to brag about growing shrooms.
I'm not sure if this is just a myth or a legitimate concern, but when ordering spores, do they say stuff like "Mikes Mushroom spore emporium for making magic" on the box, cause I'm pretty sure the RA's sort the mail, and that could be a problem.

Make sure he or she knows to tell NOBODY AT ALL. If one person knows, everybody knows.

ya, your right about keeping it very secret, I have a high up place out of view of anything, that I am thinking of.
Sombody041, i think you misunderstood, My college is inundated with weed from the northern Canadia, so I dont have to worry about tattles so much as i have to worry about people saying how "sweet" it is that im growing shrooms

you could grow sclerotia so you don't need to fruit it. Stash your jars under the bed and forget about it. Ultimate stealth grow!

if you tell absolutely nobody and hide it in a place where you will know if somebody finds it soon after, then you have nothing to fear, but somebody robbing your room and finding the mother load.

unless your roommate is really really tight I would let it cool off an dont say anything for a bit. then do everything when no ones looking and don't tell anyone. you don't want to get busted for trying to grow 10 grams of shitty weak BRF mushies.
