Cuttings are quicker, even if not rooted.

For the best grows you need to make sure that the plant has reached sexual maturity before switching to flowering photoperiod. This can take a good 8 weeks from seed
A cutting will be taken from a plant that has already reached sexual maturity or near enough so all you have to do is get roots established and veg until it reaches the required height, say 12" before flowering. This can be done in about 3-4 weeks. It will start true flowering quicker. :)
