Heres the deal. Need some Expert Advice.

I've been growing off and on for about 4 years. Never anything bigger than 4-6 ounces a grow. I just finished a greenhouse grow. It turned out alright. I'm still waiting to see the weight dry. I just moved into an apartment complex and don't really feel safe growing anymore, considering I have a big closet dedicated to it. There's maintenance and all kinds of other risks. I want to finish one grow with around 1-3 pound dry weight outcome. This will hopefully last all year, or maybe a year and a half. I like to trip alot and I always have alot of people over. I also want to give some away to some friends who like it as much as I do. Anyways, here is the question.
What kind of grow would you guys suggest? I have two greenhouses setup already. The last grow, I had pans total with both greenhouses. It was multispore inoculation to wbs, spawned to straw and cased with peat moss and vermiculite. I also had a couple tubs that I just fanned and misted everyday. I do like the automation of the greenhouses, and they also pinned and grew faster. I didn't get to keep much of the greenhouse grow. My roommate bought the stuff and I just took care of it and taught him basically what spawning was. He just knew of the cake method. I think he may have gotten around a half pound total.
So here it is, what would you guys suggest for a 1-3 pound dry weight grow? I know that is a big range, but I want them to last. How many jars would you suggest? I'm thinking wbs spawned to a straw/poo substrate. Should I use the greenhouses or should I automated about 5-6 tubs? I will be making prints with ALOT of the mushrooms. I want to spread the love. Heh.
Thanks guys. Karma your way.

asking about how to yield a certain amount of dry weight is generally not tolerated here...
but i think a greenhouse is going to be your best bet. if you know what you're doing it's pretty easy to yield 1 pound

If he were suggesting that he was selling them, then yes.
But it seems to be he just likes tripping alot and likes to give them away.
I may be wrong, but then why are there lots of bulk teks around??

I don't mean to break any rules. I'm just trying to plan a large grow, so I don't have to grow any for a long time. I've seen a bunch of people come in here with no knowledge and asking all kinds of insane questions. I just want some advice from someone who has grown a mass amount.I do like the greenhouses. It just seems that some of them didn't grow as good as some of my previous bulk tubs did.

I would never advise anyone that lives in a rented apartment to grow mushrooms or MJ. The risks of being caught increase 10 fold.
If you must, then I will relay this. I have seen threads of people doing stealth grows in a similar situation using a large locking metal toolbox.

No, i've got everything worked out well enough. I can continue to grow without being discovered if I wanted to. I just don't want to take the risk. One grow per year or two will be alright. I'm thinking i'll also grow some legals and edibles after this so I can keep up to date and use all my stuff. How many jars would you guys suggest? Would 48 quart jars be enough?

Akira's grow. If you did about 4 or 5 of these you would be squared away for a while. I would maybe line out 2 or 3 different sections per tub with trash bags to prevent loss of an entire tub to contams. I think he pulled 11-12 dry ounces off of the first flush.

it was my understanding that it was grey-area to ask how to yield a certain amount dry (especially when its a lot). bulk teks are different because it just demonstrates how to grow a lot. but i could be wrong too, and it looks like it if were a problem then the mods would have done something by now
