need help with a very hard choice

i want to start a small indoor grow op i have 2 yrs outdoors experiance and a horticultural and soil science degree and definetly know my way around a plant... but heres one thing that i just cant figure out....

would it be better to buy autoflowering plants or should i just let a normal plant veg to the height i want and just cut photo-reactive period back and nug it early

would there be thc loss to the plant due to such a short veg period or loss of yield

i would like help with this asap my roomate agreed to buy everything and let me grow it and we would split 50 50

JUST GET SOME FEM SEEDS Use your experience and grow from scratch

I would suggest some bagseeds at first.

I've been growing outside for better than 30 years, all kinds of plants, not just mj.

When I came inside, all that experience didn't mean squat. It is so different, it's like learning from scratch. If i didn't have some mother plants stashed away, I would have lost everything, cause I sure killed the first couple batches of clones.

It was very humbling.

you cant clone auto-flowering strains
Id get indicas, and indica hybrids, that have an up high, since sativas take
longer to flower ..
