I figure if I’m going to invest the space, utilities, grow supplies and time to establish the best growing environment I possibly can; then I’m also going to try to select seeds/genetics that will produce consistently good harvests of the best quality bud possible. To me that says photoperiod 100% indoors.
Also keep in mind that autos really aren’t any easier or faster than photoperiods like we’ve been told. Only thing easier is you don’t have to change a timer to 12/12. If faster to harvest is super important, run clones in a HFF burn & turn setup and harvest every 70-80 days.
