Hard to say. I llikeautomatics very much . you have to start very well with them and dont mess it in the first stage, after that they are so easy. But if you do 3 things right with automatics,its easy going, they just grow, And they are very economic, fast, and less waste.
With a photoperiodic you can allow to do more mistakes, you can trim cut, bend mainline ..... and sent them to flower if you think its the right time
i dont know what i like more. If you have lightleaks, i would recommend automatics. they dont care about it
