They always do.

I'm the same way man. Once I start smokin' my brain starts churning up all kinds of ways to induce heavier buds and bushier plants...

The biggest problem I've seen with indoor growing and altering the environment is that sometimes people don't always offer compensation for thier changes.

For instance, if you put a seedling on a 24hr light cycle it starts eating up that light very fast. What happens with this is kind of a domino affect. The increase in the light/time ratio will cause a need for more C02, more water, and more abundant nutrients in the soil. This is inevitable when you screw with the photoperiod.

In most cases when you change one thing it can offset something else and sometimes you never know what the results will be, depending on what's changed of course...

Because of this it makes it VERY useful to know what strain your plant is and what the climate is like in that region. Knowing that will allow you to mimmic its natural climate more accurately and maintain a more stable environment based on the climatic changes of that specific area.

So I guess knowledge about your seeds origin is key here for the healthiest yields. No doubt about that!
