Does anyone rough turn their spindle blanks. I am asking mainly for the
turning stock I cut myself that starts as green wood. I was thinking of
rough turning some of the partially dryed stock. I was thinking that would
save time when I go to do a project and allow it to dry faster as well. I
was concerned it might move or crack more.

Yeah, I'll make cylinders form firewood if I don't have anything I need
to make right now. They go a bit oval, but they would have done that
drying anyway. They may split, but they probably would have done that
anyway, and this way you only have the work of roughing into them when
they do split. And when you need to make something, it's faster to grab
a pre-roughed cylinder and dive into making what you wanted to make than
to start with roughing the hunk of firewood.
