: What material should not be used for a growth container?
Anything you can use to store food in, food grade plastics or the like.
: What type of light works best for growing?
Sunlight works best, of course. 16 hours during vegitative, 12 hours during flowering/fruit production.
: What type of artificial light works best?
Metal Halide during vegitative,
HPS (High Pressure Sodium) during Flowering.
You can use Florecence lighting, but it does not penitrate you plant canopy as well.
: What will work best under high pressure sodium lights?
Flowering works best using HPS because of it's Orange/yellow/red spectrum which simulates the later growing season. You can find more info on lighting etc in the online lessons here on the site.
: What are two other biotechnologies other than hydropnics?
Hey, why are you asking us to do your homework!?
Figures SOME of these out for yourself! LOL! ;-P
Good Luck!
