Great points...but unless I track that info, I have no way of knowing! Ah-HA!!! See what I did there? I mean sure for most people that are just trying to get a little harvest in for some fresh buds, probably not much use to track this info. But I have never been one to discard information without finding if there is some value in it to me.
Again it doesn't change have fast they finish, but its data I may or may not be able to use it. I look at it like pitching to a new rookie just called up. Tracking what he does against you isn't gonna help you much that at bat or maybe even for the first 5 or 10 at bats, but over time something it going to reveal a picture. Its up to me the manager to make use of the data I collect. Plus you forget that I am always experimenting with stuff.....like ground malted barley scratched into the soil a couple times throughout the grow to speed up flowering times (seems to work.....but I am not 100% sure....and could it work with autos as well?). I can't track if something works if I don't measure different things that it might effect.
In my case its simple....my naming convention tracks everything for me and I file all my pictures by strain so its really no additional work at all.
