2by2 top yield

Hello RIU!

Short and to the point : I have a 2 foot by 2 foot grow tent (60cm square space), and I want to make the most out of it.

I want to know the best growing method for the best yield per run I can get out of this space, be it whatever (coco, hydro, soil, scrog, sog, whatever it is that will give the most yield per run). Also, I have to mention, that I prefer growing autoflowers, but if there is a better way with photos, I can adapt, no problem :). I also want to know the details, like what pot size, and other setup related stuff.

For my lighting, I am using 2 HLG 135W Rspec kits, one can go up to 164 true watts at full power, giving me a total of 328 true watts.

Looking forward to hearing some ideas.

Photo's are more forgiving. If you make a mistake in veg with an auto you cant correct it by extending veg time.
Aside from that, you cant clone, or reveg if you find a keeper.
You are limited to 2 plants max in that space so not much room for error.

If your looking at autos,and want weight,then tangie matic auto is a safe bet.
20liter grow pot,decent light and in coco will get you a huge plant that puts out faster than a fat chick at a frat party.
You'll be growing only one in that 2x2,but if u do your part,she'll fill it up.

2 photos in a 2by2 space? are you sure this will work? would you do this method yourself? seems a bit forceful, and too much for such a small space. what training methods will guarantee my success with this one?

LST, scrog, topping or any sort of training should be applied?

Yes

Edit: If i were to do it again, i would do a single with a few extra weeks of veg.

Yields are pretty good if you start tying down branches as soon as buds start forming,and keep the water intake up (this strain is a freaking drinker).
I ran a pack of 5 seeds from fast buds,and tyed down my branches,ran under 600w cheap led in coco,and averaged just a tad under 2oz dried from each plant.
Top quality bud,great taste.
I dont use nutes until buds start and then use fox farm big bloom at half the recommended dose

My friend has had success in a 60x60 with photos. If I can remember right he is mainlining/manifolding from what he was explaining to me. Not sure on his yields but with the amount he smokes and that he says hes had enough to give some to his sister I would say it was enough.

Thanks @GreenPeace22
Pretty happy with its potential. Just chopped and hung em this morning.
Definately the biggest haul yet in my 2x2.5' tent.

Damn, I'm thinking about trying 2 photos myself, but not sure I'll be able to manage them in such a small space. We're talking about 60 centimeters in any direction, lol. How long you been vegging them for? Something special or out of the ordinary you did?

i started with photo's in an 1x1 X 27" tall minifridge. You can 12/12 from seed a photo... if you get a long running big auto you are screwed in that situation.
Pot size is the biggest controller

320 watts in a 2x2 lol, only need half that

I know, the reason I am using 2 of them is for better light distribution, but I am never running them both at full power.
50-80 watts each max, depending on the grow stage. They are LED lights with mid-powered diodes, so they perform better at lower wattage. My goal is to reach an even 800 PPFD.

Been doing some research and came across SOG. Would 9 plants in 1gal pots work well? 2-3 weeks veg, would I pull 30 grams/plant? Any other better and more efficient method you guys can think of to maximize this space? Could I get the same or even more out of one well grown plant with a scrog? What do you think?

P.S : Thanks to everyone taking the time to help me out.
