Lol...I guess in the end it comes down to why you grow..Some growers are in it for the money legally or illegal pro and non pro ... Some are consumer grows that grow to just consume bud for the joy of getting high, Then there is the med folks that grow to help an ailment they may have in their lives, Then there is the breeding crowd that love to play mad scientist and try to create the next best stable strain. lmao and so the list goes on....
Although with a photo reg seed on Dwc system with a quick blooming type strain, you could grow it just as quick as some auto's ,even with having the 12/12 light cycle flip , 3 weeks in veg. (21) days.. 6 weeks (46) days in bloom... Thats (67) days total ,and if the seed took 7 days to germinate that's still (74) days from start to harvest and some auto's take at least that long to fully mature. lmao... but yes I agree with ya my friend seeing bud sooner is always better!
