Depends what sort of autos you got, some get bushy so a sq. foot is required and others are simply a single cola once flowered. Work on a plant per sq. foot to 1.5 sq. foot.

www.dutchbreed.com have some crazy autos...I get mine from here.

Only got the lowberry in auto form which was great for my amazon aeroponics system, I have a 32 hole so 4 plants per sq. foot. I also have blue lightning seeds but have not germinated them yet, still got to finish flowering 20x easy bud autos and 9 Master Kush plants first LOL. The blue lightning is a 5/6 week flowering plant!!!!!! 35-42 days my friend!! nuts!!!

Also if you intend buying a larger amount of auto seeds they will be happy to give you a discount, I got 50 for £80 in the end although I think that may have been just to get rid of me LOL.

Where did you buy these from and are they "short stuff" or standard auto versions? If they are standard I can imagine them wanting more space, it's better to give a plant plenty space so it can branch out, grow to it's potential and give you more yield in the end. I suppose they could fit but would you want to cramp them? The point is to grow some bud so you don't need to germinate all of them at once......unless of course you intend to help out friends etc.

Also how do you intend to grow them? soil, aero...

Then you might as well go for broke and grow em all, maybe just try to keep the flouros as close to the canopy as possible, if rogue colas start sprinting ahead LST/bend them to keep the canopy level, I did this with my easy buds and it did not stop their growth, it gave the other side branches the chance to compete in the canopy. I have 8x 250W plug&grow CFL's with ecolite closed reflectors I want to get rid of, don't know how though!
