Just flipped two days ago after six weeks of mainlining. Happy with the way this Gelato Sunrise photo has responded. It took a shipload of time though!!! Any ideas of the cost benefit analysis of mainlining?

No cost benefit in my opinion, Manifolds or mainlines allow you to grow more plants in the grow space versus a few spread out and trained 
6 Nebula Manifolds in a 2 x 4, I normally grow 2 plants topped with LST

Day 11 in the Garden…things are looking lush. Been keeping night temps within about 3-5 degrees of day temps to limit stretch.
Just read GDP flowers in 70-77 days making my medley atm to be needing four distinct harvest times–55 days for Pineapple Donut; 56 days for Gelato Sunrise; 63 days for Cheddar Cheese; and 70-77 days for GDP.
Going to buy a cheap 2x2x4 tent specifically for drying. Anyone have any drying tent tips out there?

Don’t know about any cost analysis but your plants look good.

Mainlining can yield higher-quality buds and even light distribution, but the time investment is significant. The cost-benefit depends on your goals—max yield in limited space may justify the effort, but quicker methods suit fast harvests. Looks great, though!
