Too many. Id only do 1 plant in a 2x2 and I dont even want to do that. Height is important for yield too Id like at least 6.5 foot tall tents, 2.5x2.5’ for each plant.
You can make it work but what grow method is this, soil, drain to waste coco? Which ever one it is youd want to keep plants small as possible to make it work.
It would be better to invest in a bigger better setup I learned the hard way but thats if yield is a concern. Both yield and ease of growth.

I just now saw the images. I dont like links but realize now those arent links. Still stands what I said, I didnt have to see pics but that infact doesnt look too bad.
If the photos are flowering already Id do some scrogging amd clean up the canopy IE defol prune allow light to the entire plant.
Hows humidity reading?

I plant per 2x2 area.

Looks great mate, not too many at all nice full canopy. You can take off all the lower branching that is not / will not get much light to increase air flow and avoid all the larf. Get lot of air movement going in there.
High plant counts are the most efficient use of time and space as it cuts veg time down and more top colas.

Other than the auto, is it all the same strain?
If they are the same, you can get as much from 1 plant, as you can 8.

They’re in soil and the plants were pretty small when I flipped to flower( about 18”). My 5x5 is in flower as well 9 big plants
All the same besides auto ( peanut butter breath)
even small plants?!?!!Yes. Guaranteed.
No need to look at any pictures.

If you flipped at 18” you can expect them to try reaching 50 something inches before finishing. I’d say you’ll run out of space without very proper training or a scrog set up

Yes. We all speak from experience.

You kinda have to have a minimum size plant for it to be of use, anyway. For example, you can't really grow ten 8" plants and have it equate to one 80" plant.

They probably pictured same thing I did, just too easy to over crowd but when I saw your pics theyre doing great.
So I would say its possible, typically when people try to do more than 4 plants in a 2x2 or even 1 they fail if the plant gets too big and wait too long to do anything about it.
Yes small plants can work, youre demonstrating it! Nice job! I failed at a over grown 2x2 my first few grows.
If you want to likely succeed again I would learn cloning and take clones and run one strain at a time 9 plants like youre doing.
You took hella risks not gonna lie thats what were trying to say lol. Lots of people here never grown in a small space. I did, I get 2.5oz per 2x2 and 5-7oz or more in a 2.5x2.5 thats at least 6.5 feet tall.
Theres people who yielded 8oz or more in a 2x2 but strain is likely why and experience. Id rather use that same strain in my larger tents with better light while still not over crowding.

You are at a critical point in time to train those plants a bit, move that net down and weave branches through the netting. Prune and defole a little bit, many over do it its hard not to go overboard lol.
Theyre going to stretch a little more and grow more foliage. They are super small which makes them grow in our favor. I grew in a square foot cabinet 3’ tall.
Im growing mini flower clones now too. If you can make small plants with your grow method, could work. I use 1L pots it makes the plant small and flip after one week planting clones.
These plants known to 2x or 3x in size at flip. Having some burns from neglect. 6-9 of these could fit in that tent.
