I have a small space to grow in, about 2 ft by 2 ft and 5 ft tall

My question is: If I use a small pot (2 litter bottle) will my plants naturally grow tall versus wide, be healthy, and yield a normal amount?

If there is already a discussion regarding this, please point me in the right direction, thanks!

If I had that space I would grow one nice plant and lst or scrog it. You will get as much yield as you would with several small plants. You can alternately do autoflowers. I haven't had a lot of experience with them. The ones that I grew were not very potent. That was a couple of years ago, they may have improved since then.

More plants does mean less chance of losing the whole crop if a plant dies for some reason.

Yes but too many plants in a small area can cause a lot of problems unless you are doing a sog. You can always take a clone or plant another seed for backup. You could of course do 2 plants. I would hesitate to put more than that in such a small space unless they are autos.

No it won't "grow tall versus wide,be healthy......" the root dia is basically your drip line fornon scrog plan's not lst'd at least and the yield equals the root mass!! you figure.give her dry feet and 3 gal prune pot's and grow one with 8-20 oz's........View attachment 2214256

scrog's areniceif you have the extra month or so,but if your going for smaller results just cut out the veg time all together and go 12/12. Or yeah the auto's wouldbe another option and thereare some more potent one'sout there ifyou do a little searching.i personally havehad good experince with the devilmatice for nice short compact results. on averavge 20-30g

Id say scrog 2 plants, top/FIM them, go for fime, should give you 2+ colas uncle bens topping techniques, on the plus side, 2 will be easy to handle and you should yield very niceley if you top/fim + scrog
