Alright Guys, I just bought the following:
University Scientific:
1 MycoKit Electric Mushroom House Incubation and Fruiting chamber that can be dial adjusted to hold a constant temperature within ONE DEGREE of your desired setting! System can adjust from 65 to 92 degrees F. This exact temperature control provides you the grower with a PRECISELY ACCURATE AND POTENT growing environment! It doesn\\\'t get any better than this electric automated system.
4 Super MycoJars WITH FILTER BREATHERS!!! These Super MycoJars PRODUCE! You can even fruit your mushrooms RIGHT OUT OF THE MycoJar! Every Super MycoJar comes with a breather to allow for sterile gas exchange. Just inject the spores or culture from a clean syringe right through the FILTER BREATHER! The filter will self seal to help prevent contamination!
2 Reservoir Containers
2 Wick Containers
4 12\\" Wicks
1 Litre of Hydroton Hydroton is one of the best materials available to keep your MycoKit at that PERFECT humidity level! Just add water!
1.5 Litres of Base Mix
1 Liter of Casing Mix
1 Thermometer It\\\'s essential to know exactly what the temperature is in your MycoKit. Mushrooms grow best with exacting temperatures.
1 Hygrometer Another important device for reading the humidity level in your MycoKit, is also included!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mushy Mart:
One 5 lbs Rye Spawn Bag
---------------------------------------------------------------
River Valley Farm Garden Supply:
One Golden Teacher Spore Syringe.
---------------------------------------------------------------
-Given that I do everything correctly, about how many shroomies can I expect to have in dry or wet wieght, please specify.
Many Thanks, ShroomyMoney.

Sounds like you have money to spare, are quite lazy and not interested in learning about this hobby (I say that because you bought everything when for a little bit more effort you could have made your own everything for a tenth of the price).
Also, the fact that the first thing you ask is what your yeild is going to be makes me thinks your motives aren't particularly pure (dealing jumps straight into to my head)
If I am wrong, and I really hope I am and you are just an overly enthusiastic and rich person I recommend you forget about amounts and concentrate on reading up on the info on this site before you fuck up and loose everything.
Welcome to the Shroomery
PS: Maybe I have a bad mind but your post reminds me of a few people I know who used to buy premade cakes, inoculated and all, thinking that they were going to become rich overnight. They all ended up loosing a lot of money because they had absolutely no interest in the hobby, just wanted money. I remember one particular case of a guy who spent 500 euros (about 700 dollars) on premade cakes because he had read somewhere about 100% biological efficiency (a concept we use to compare mushroom production to substrate weight) and thought he was going to get pounds and pounds of shrooms and make thousands. He lost everything, and got extremely humiliated when I told him I made shrooms with an old jam jar and 60 cents worth of rice and verm.
PPS: Just seen what your username is. it just makes my suspicions worse.

Alright, Let Me Clear a Couple Things Up.
1). I\'m not a drug dealer, nor do I plan to be.
2). I\'m shooting to grow atleast 2 pounds, preferably more of shrooms for personal use. Is this a feasible goal with the equipment I purchased?

Just quit worrying about the weight and start worrying about doing the stuff right, because there are soooo many things that can go wrong in this hobby and you seem to be jumping into the deep end without arm-bands.
What procedure are you going to use? are you goind to fruit the rye directly, use it as spawn for a bulk substrate, fruit in vitro, case....
You might as well ask how long is a piece of string.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding a bit harsh but you have to realize that this is a complex hobby and what you are asking is as if you went up to a pilot and told him you are going to do a barrel roll when you don't even know how to pilot a plane.
I suggest you read up on this site, and then read it all again. That is the only way you can make sure your grow goes right. If not you will have thrown away a lot of cash

You probably shouldnt have purchased it, its probably pretty small...I can tell you this...what ever you paid for it is a hell of a lot more than if you were to make your own martha setup with a cool mist and an ultrasonic. Not only that but a setup such as a humidified martha or small greenhouse can produce aLOT of mushrooms if the space is used correctly, you would have to know what your doing already since you will be the one setting it up and "dialing it in" chexk this out... http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Forum2&Number=2607744&fpart=&PHPSESSID=

Alright, let's assume the kit will be small. I'll still have the 4 MycoJars, the Spores, and the 5 Pound Rye Spawn Bag. I Case the 4 Mycojars and the 5 Pound Spawn Bag with the Supplies listed above.
No one can give me an estimate on what I'd get for wieght?

IMHO you could get anywhere from NOTHING to a pound or two wet if you know what your doing...it sounds like you havent ever grown before so the chances of that are pretty slim...give it you best and follow a tek to the "T" if you expect to get the results someone else got...
