yes i totally agree with that other guy ...if those are babies...they should be under metal halides....not sodium...at least not for a few weeks....and i thought the strain was trainwreck...i have grown it ...it looks just like that....peace out 420

@zzkok: So you got 6/8 right. You missed 25%. That's a 75%, a C. Got them all right except for a quarter of them. Nice. Still, that's better than I could do.

I see that many of the viewers/readers got the HPS question wrong. You can add me to the list also. I thought it looked "cool" and not redish/orange. Also the plants looked like they were in the "veg" stage by being so short...But what if the plants were hybrids which were crossed with a ruderalis plant? Which are short.....

Ha Ha fun test got all of em but two.

The light question was one of the easiest. for a minute i was thrown off by the light blue and then i realized i was an idiot because of the distance from the plants. definately a nice powerful expensive set of probably id say6 600 watt hps bulbs

ChronJohn

Nov 20 2009, 3:07 pm

I got all except the light question.. I too thought it looked rather "cool" and it looked like the plants were in veg so I figured MH.. oh well. I only got the strain question right because that plant looks a lot like the ChemDog that Greenhouse Seed Co will be releasing soon... but some are right it does not look very similar to the Chem cuts going around in the US. At least the ones I have seen anyways =/

i dont know too many people that use HPS for vegitative growth...hmm

If that's not a MH then they better put one one em'

lights look like MH to me and that dont look like any chemdawg that i ever seen and im from where it was grown and bred with the mass super skunk maybe 30% to 35% sativa at best real chemdawg is mostly indica and super stoney head and body

Never grew pot,where i live today the hemp years ago,the
industry today well its more than trailer park comments
an does it linger on the survey of which part to add thats
up to the grower,one comment was not on your survey to bake
the soil this goes back to the 1970s an the ounce that grew
if it wasnt hemp though the spekola bud thru the water pipe;
you could say you had wings,sabbath,just to give it a few
different colors an a way the song made you feel sweet leaf.
The fish filter to push through the oxygen love is...the
sweet smell of the affect of the the grower today developed
from years passed.

That light looks like an MH to me....

Love it! Haven't grown in 7+ years and still got all but 2 right!

Thought the HPS was a MH. I agree with poster who argues that buy the picture it could be either, but actually it looks too blue/cool to be HSP. My HPS is like orange glow.

Guessed on the strain, just never kept up on that kind of picture to name stuff. I chose what I grew for it's profile not looks. Though the bud closeup photos are always sexy.

It would be cool if you could click on the answers of the quiz and then submit answers to be scored rather than questions on one page and answers on the next. (And maybe harder questions next time!)

how could u recognize the kind of light, without getting to look at the bulb???? from the light that is visible in the picture u could only tell that that the spectrum is in the higher k`s and that it is rather cold and bright. the small plats also give a hint toward the lights being growing lights rather than flowering lights...

interesting looking chemdog, thought it`d be the ssh, as the blades are very thin and long.... never seen a chem dogplant before tho. does it have sativa genetics?

I'm using a ushio full spec HPS, and its orange as a pumpkin. That's a MH!

shizznizzle

Oct 4 2009, 2:15 pm

boy that light sure looks like MH not HPS!

BigSmooth

Oct 3 2009, 9:54 pm

Hell yea, i got em all right.

kdog

Oct 2 2009, 11:13 pm

def looks like a metal halide light, but from my experience even young plants in veg mode do much better using full spec hps even from seed the hps grew a stronger plant than the mh.

I got em all cept the strain question. Although, #4 stumped me a bit. I've never heard of compost tea as pest control. I always thought it was just a nutrient. Then again, I've never gotten pests so I don't hang in those forums. However, I know powdery mildew is NOT pest control LOL. The strain question threw me off. Chem dawg is not exactly a strain that's easy to get. It's pretty much an elite. The leaves were thin tho so I thought sativa and went for SSH. Do I get partial credit LOL.

I got all of em right but the chemdawg question. I live in missouri and other than HT I have never saw that strain. I know thats horrible.

HIGHROLLER

Sep 22 2009, 6:06 pm

I can dig the MH bulb as well but it was not a choice. DWC is still hydro

Sep 20 2009, 9:56 pm

PRETTY COOL WE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF TEST IN SCHOOL!!!HAHAHAHA!!

HPS and metal halide would both fit in that hood, with the ballast being the changing factor, or it could be a switchable ballast. As for the last one, I would argue that DWC is a bucket with water and an air stone, if you add a medium for the roots to push past its not a true DWC, I have found plants grow slower in the clay pellets, more work to put down roots.

Sep 19 2009, 6:21 pm

I only got one wrong, but I admit I guessed at the chemdog answer.

How can you tell what type of light it is? I thought it was a metal halide because it looks like vegetating clones under it. I would have answered HPS if the plants were budded out.

Sep 19 2009, 4:03 am

I got 3 wrong

Jon-E

Sep 18 2009, 12:13 pm

irie-eyed
