Has anyone ever put multiple seedlings in a single XL Autopot? The goal is to have more main colas. It's hydro, and the water wicks as fast as they can drink, so that should prevent deficiencies. A little scrog netting could train the tops apart if the leaves want to overlap. I've heard of people doing it, but I'm curious what your thoughts are.

I do not know about multiple seedlings in an Autopot dude....even an XL one....the root mass of just one plant can fill a whole pot, so multiple might limit their growth.....if it's multiple colas you are after dude, you could always try the "Vapo treatment!"...I will drop you a tag in my thread, so you can have a look....it should work well with a hydro set up...have a good day dude.
I grow 4 plants at a time in 10 gallon bags of soil every summer. Haven't tried it with autopots though. Why not just LST for more colas?
Too many roots in an XL AutoPot would be extraordinary (you'd be very lucky); it's not something to worry about.
I often start 2 of the same strain in their final pot and if they both do about equally well let both grow go to maturity. I see no negative impact on quality, potency, looks, etc. You essentially have double the opportunity to train (LST and/or HST) the plants and grow more tops; and approach the SOG growing method. I suggest grow 2/pot, knowing you will have to train the plants and at any point you can always cull 1 of the plants.

When i see people doing that i see a bunch of little sticks that fill the space. Im wanting to avoid the smaller tertiary branches. the reason being is - theyll never be as big as the secondary branch theyre attached to, and those are going to be smaller than the central shoot. The goal is to maximize nutrient/water potential. That will maximise photosynthetic potential along with co2. Think sea of green. its a similar principal at work.
