100% agree 
Don’t let the “scientific accuracy” sound intimidating though.
That is a true statement but it’s not hard really, again “imho” organics are harder as there’s aot more going on to get the base elements into the plant.
Alot of these things can’t be measured like how many microbes are in there 
are they good or bad if i do this or that will it kill them .
And then, do I have the right amount of organic matter to microbes so the plant has what it needs how do you keep soil ph stable when microbes influences soil ph by their natural life cycles of dieing, breeding, eating and pooping
With synthetics, none of those questions are a factor…
Synthetics is basically, is my input ph and tds in range versus my runoff ph and tds
And that’s about it really 
If its not then it’s an easy fix by simply continuing to pour water through till it is, (aka flushing).
That’s an over simplified summary of course but fairly accurate from my experience…
I forgot to mention with the “photos over autos” bias.
Another huge bonus to photos is the ability to clone and get free plants
You said you got 1 photo seed, well check out what one photo period seed can yeild
1 photo seed can last years and give you nearly infinite yield
