I'd go with 2 of the 3.5 gal air pots for that space-check the actual size, I think they are advertised as 5 gal pots but actually only hold 3.5gal. I like them better than the 2 gallons I tried this time, they are perfect for if you can only fertigate twice per day. You can grow a nice big plant in a 2x2 square.

The number of pots isn’t relative to yield. Yield is proportional to canopy space.
I’d go with 2 pots in that size space personally.

you'll have to explain. if the old adage "bigger the roots, bigger the fruits" is to be believed, then bigger pots equals bigger roots, right? I should have more roots in a bigger pot. if so, bigger pots= bigger roots = bigger yields

In black and white, yes.
But since there are so many other factors that come into play, not necessarily.

You asked how many air pots you should use in your space, four of them or two of them.
If you were asking what size air pots that’s a completely different question and you should have used volume measurements such as “4 gal airpots” and “2 gal airpots”.
Medium will also play a factor as well as other factors.
These are the sizes available for air pots.

well there's only so much space inside of a tent that the pots can occupy, I can fit four smaller pots inside of the space OR I can fit two large size pots inside the space. I thought this was obvious. I'm certainly not going to grow in only half the space while my grow light sucks up power
in theory, can two plants produce as much of a yield as four plants?

As I already said the number of plants is irrelevant when determining final yield.well there's only so much space inside of a tent that the pots can occupy, I can fit four smaller pots inside of the space OR I can fit two large size pots inside the space.

Final yield is dependent on canopy size only if you are disregarding strain.
Two plants will yield equal to four plants in the same size tent.

you mind telling me what the hell I'm doing growing four plants then?

No idea, you’re the one growing them not me. No idea why’d you make a post asking the question after you’ve already started growing four.As a new grower starting more plants isn’t always a bad idea either. You can either keep all four or just keep the two healthiest ones if some develop issues.

it's because I'm weighing the cost and effect of purchasing a $200 grow tent plus all the fancy little trinkets n gadgets that go with that, it's close to $500. I'm literally looking at the mars hydro site rn.

You’re looking to purchase another tent? What does that have to do with number of plants?

I don't have a tent, I'm growing in a closet rn.
I'm cheating rn, I'm growing in more than just 2x4 feet of space, closer to like 3x4 using 5 gallon grow bags. Four of those arent gonna fit in a 2x4 grow tent, so I need to know if four smaller plants would offer high yields, or given the small-ish size of the tent opting to grow two larger potted plants instead would be preferable.

Ok gotcha. Glad I was able to give you the answer then.
