yup it's up to you.. Your space and your growing needs.. You can veg photoperiod plants for 2-3 weeks if you want. It's all about your space and how many plants you have. If you like controlling the amount of time the growing does then go with Photoperiods. If you like the idea of the plant just doing whatever it wants go autoflower. Iv'e grown both.. Even had both types of plants with similar genetics minus the ruder and hands down photo plants are better.
