I have a 3x3…..for yeild would it be better to go with four 5 gallons, four 7 gallons or six 3 gallon pots? Do air pots yield any better than fabric? Thanks.

The pot size is largely irrelevant if you're using coco.

I've noticed no difference in quality or yields since moving to smaller fabric pots.

The only distinction is the frequency of irrigation.

If hand-watering is the only a option, a large pot is a reasonable choice, otherwise it's just a waste of coco.

4 - 5 gallons should yield more than 4 - 3 gallon, given everything is equal. 5 gallons should maximize your space but May overcrowd a 3x3. Also consider the height of the tent / pots.

I agree- I started with 2 gallon fabric pots- switched to 3 gallon.
Recently- I found a bunch of leftover 2 gallon pots so I decided to use them up.
I am not noticing any difference in the size of the plants, and in fact, I am using less water/nutrients so it has been a bit easier.

The 3 gallon pots are a little better at keeping the plants from tipping over.
Indoors- I would not go over 3 gallon unless you have a higher ceiling than 8’
