This site, has become a good reminder to me that my shroom spores are on the way.
2 days ago I sent an order to ralphster for a syringe of creepers, and I'm anticipating there arrival. I'm going to be using the pf-tek, good for beginners.
I have one thing though, no lighting for them I'm growing them in a dark closet. Should I just bring them out into light, because I know that they don't need heat. Just light, so does that mean that just light itself would make them grow better? or would it need to be a direct form of light.
I could bring them into my room for a good portion of the day just so they get the light that comes in, my room is pretty bright it faces west how long though should I keep them out? all day and than put them in there closet at night.
I can't wait, I hope they don't mess up that's why I'm trying to secure things.
Any last pointers and tips specifically for creepers would help to?

They need some form of light to pin, preferably indirect light from the sun. If you can't provide that, find a light bulb that's closet to the 7000k spectrum. You'll find those at a Target/Walmart and it will be one of those Energy Saving/Compact Florescent Lights that's labeled something like "Daylight".
As for the creepers, from what I've gathered around in the forums, almost all cubes are pretty similar (minus growth rate, or colonization). Just follow the PF Tek and you should be fine.

indirect sunlight is fine infact probably better than using fluerescents, ideally you want roughly a 12/12 light dark, something to resembnle what they would get in nature.
A few minutes in direct sunlight can really help stimulate pinning aswell.
Bringing them out will be fine for the period of light. It also helps them grow better aswell.
