Been fun following.

Please do another thread when you're up and running again bud :-)

edit: what size c-vaults do you use by the way?

I reckon the large-container would be a good fit, for each plant in your case?
Thanks everyone! I'm actually moving out of state so the entire operation will be shut down for a few months. Will be popping new seeds as soon as the grow stuff is moved over!

I use the 4-liter size CVaults. I fit a half pound dry in each one after my last couple grows, but that was full to the brim. So with these 2, I made a little divider in the CVault, and put 1 strain on each side so they are separated in the 1 container. It's a little over half full now, but not for long bongsmilie

Is it a better yield than scrog though?
I would say that the yield is comparable, but the style of growing differs in a few key areas.

SCROG favors one plant, vegged for a longer period and constantly trained to create an even canopy. You can fully train most plants to cover whatever area you have, given enough practice and correct genetics for what you are doing.

The plant is also not mobile, for obvious reasons, so if you need to move plants around, i.e to water them, that would be an issue.

There are a couple of different ways to mainlining/manifold. The Nugbuckets variant focuses more on 8 or 16+ solid colas, with most everything else stripped off.

Nebula, however, favors a more liberal approach with the branching and keeps most of the good branching that will reach the top. By using a mixture of lollipopping, LST and strategic leaf removal, you can get impressive results, and save yourself a ton of LST time compared to a scrog.

Long story short, both will require a longer veg time, but most of the work with manifolding/mainlining is done before you enter flower, so it's pretty much smooth sailing and some occasional leaf removal from there.

It's also extremely suited for tall stretchy Sativa plants that you need to cut down to size a bit.

Worth noting that I'd prefer mainlining plants that grow with vigor and can easily take repeated toppings without getting stunted. If it's a first time growing in a new setup, or I need to trial/error more, I might favor the scrog.
