Hi, all I am just wondering if there is such thing as too many tops for an Auto? Is there a ratio between say pot / container size? Happy growing everyone.

Is it a gay sauna? The number is only a problem if it doesn't fit your space... at some point you can't control humidity and it'll be an issue with congestion and fungal growth. This occurs when everyhting is bunched up and overlappingn causingn standing water from transpiration and extremely high RH levels in and around leaves compared to outside teh canopy.. even if you have a dehum. i'm trying to paint a total catastrophe in your mind... now look at your plant... is it a catastrophe? you are good. over time you can always prune things off if too congested. try bending and shaping before removing things. It's always better to keep leaves than remove them if you can. lower axillary growth that won't amount to anything can be removed no problem. some of this takes some familiarity... as you grow a few more plants and try a few different things, you'll hone in on works well.

Nope, the more tops the better in my opinion. For auto's, bigger pots = bigger plants. That could be down to my grow style though.
