Because understanding what the plant is synthesizing and when can assist you in tailoring certain nutrient regimines/lighting/ventilation requirements to fit your plants. Molasses for example, if you didn't know that plants literally photosynthesize sugar in their cells you might think it's useless, but with that knowledge you understand how it's a beneficial growth additive.

And yes you do, in your growlog I referenced the exact function of the cotyledons to help you figure out when to start nutrients. have you already forgotten?

I can't think of how it might help you grow, but I can think of how it might help you know. RHYME!

I just look at it this way, why would you NOT want to know? How could knowing possibly make you a worse grower? it can't. simple as that.

Yeah guys go easy it's a noob test it's not supposed to be hard or teach you anything.
And so I can join in the fun heres my question. A plant is 3 weeks old, it is healthy and green on top but some lower leaves show yellow spots and the worst have rust spots and are curled up at the tips. All the stems look healthy but the effected leaves veins are dark green. What is the problem and what do you need to check to fix it.
No googleing or searching here, go

Yeah, these qustions are way beyond "n00b" and have nothing to do with cultivation, but there is some hope:
I have a good one that is for "advanced" n00bs....
Question: What is the optimum temperature range (in F) for vegging plants during the light cycle? During the dark cycle?
A follow-up question related to the last one: What is the best light cycle for a plant in vegetation mode? In flowering mode?
Now back on Topic,

well it WAS stupid because it was originally designed to find out whether you or FBD knew more about cultivation. Having us quiz you so you two could have an imaginary cock waving contest about who was least n00bish IS stupid, but now that we're entering the realm of general knowledge and information on plant physiology I think it's far less stupid. It's not a competition now, it's a forum for informational exchange and that's totally different.

I'm gonna re-noobify it real quick just to see them get some points on the board....
Describe what heat stress looks like.
Explain why High Pressure Sodium bulbs are ideal for flowering.

Yes! I agree! Great questions....
I would add on a little more to the second one by saying: "Explain why High Pressure Sodium bulbs are better than Fluorescent (CFL, T5, etc.) and incandescents for flowering"
And if they think incandescents are used for flowering, then we have to slap them for being so n00by....
