Too many tops for outdoor?

Is this an excessive amount of colas for an outdoor grow? I've been told this is overkill, but I don't really understand why it could negatively impact yeild. (I've also just fimmed 3-4 of the highest tops on each... so more stems on the way....)
It's outdoor in a very windy environment, I'm not overly worried about airflow..

I've heard the more tops the better, especially outside where you can't control humidity. More tops means smaller buds, but more of them. The smaller size will be less likely to develop bud rot than a huge bud would. Nice looking plant.

... We have had a pair of your geese take up residence on our pond. They raised four little ones that are almost fully grown. The really cool thing is the pond was built in1970 or 71 and this is the first water foul ever hatched here ...

How large is the pond?

In small numbers geese might be neat. But as a resident on the shore of an Ontario lake, my opinion differs.

We get a plethora of pretty large flocks of Canadian Geese every year. Those cute little gold babies in early May just blend in with the rest of the flock by July. And when the flocks get into the hundreds, some of the young males can get aggressive defining their place. And aggressive geese are noisy geese.

Strike 1!

Lots of geese brings lots of goose shit - that messy green stuff. Major yuck for the grass!! We all have tall bushes growing close to the shoreline to keep them off of the land. Their shit is just gross ...

Strike 2!!

I see your point. Others have come but papa runs them off. I know what you mean about flocks. We get them in Tulsa County by 100's. They don't come here in great numbers because our farm isn't good for a flock. As far as the Goose shit goes it just blinds with the donkey, goat, cow and chicken. As long as they stay away from the house and in field with the other animals they're OK.

The pond is only about 1/3 acre. That's why I'm not worried about large flocks. There are wide open fields with much larger ponds nearby. That's the kind of mess you're talking about. I wouldn't like that ether. Anyhow, these six are like pets.
