Depending on how CNongcyou plan to veg them first. But Should be able to do 2 in 5 gals in there.
It’ll save some watering trips and be a lil easier to manage later in flower as far as feeding goes.
In 3’s you’ll be watering every day. Maybe twice daily.

You can do 5 gallons, but 3 gallons will be more suitable for 2 plants in a 3x3. You can still let them veg a while. 5 gallon bags hold a lot of water and can spike humidity in a small space.

I use 5 at least but living soil. Here are 3 current mothers, 5 and 7g, in a 3x3. Full to the brim. I typically flower 4 in 1. These are vegged very long. Auto wont get like this.

I use 3 gallon filled with promix bx and 25% perlite. Depending on stage of growtt I water every 2 to 4 days. If I use 5 gallon and I have. I would only be watering every 3 to 6 days. I like the 3 gallon because I get to feed more often. Plus in my short tent I have never had three plants fill a 5 gallon pot with roots. I assume because the plants are so small I only get to veg 3 or 4 weeks.

Going with larger pot will usually allow the soils nutrient charge to last a little longer with careful watering practices. Outside of trying to go as long as possible without feeding there is very little reason to use larger than 3 gallon pot growing indoors.

I find that too small for my living soils but was gucci for liquid nutes. Just my experience with that size.

I see that. This is the reason i left the note about soil feeding times. If your approach is to have soil carry plant throughout grow it certainly works better to have more.

I had a 3’ tall plant bushy af in a solo cup couple years ago. It can be done but requires a lot of attention.
