I'm a new grower. plan on setting up soon but I've had a idea on my mind that I've yet to find anywhere else. maybe its a dumb idea but I don't know. doesn't hurt to ask.

So my idea is 1 veg tent (4x4) and 2 flower tents (4x4 or one 4x8 ). would it be doable having one veg tent for the the 2 4x4s tents. say 9 plants in the veg tent so that would be 4 plants in one tent and 5 in the other when it comes time to flower. total time of 2 months of veg maybe even 1.5 months and then putting them into the new tents for 2 more weeks so they can stretch and fill out the canopy. the purpose of this idea is more grows per year. assuming my flowering time will be 60 days i can fit 5-6 total harvests in a year vs doing seed to harvest with all 3 tents. say i harvest 1lb per 4x4. with my idea ill be harvesting anywhere of 10-12 lbs in a years time (6 grows in a year x 2 tents x 1lb = 12). with traditional seed to harvest ill yield 9 lbs (3 tents x 3 grows a year x 1lb = 9lbs). i know 1-3lbs difference may not be alot to some of yall but it would make a big difference for me.

idk if this information is needed but ill give it incase it does help with you answering my idea as a good or bad idea of trying. ill be using organic coco living soil and 3 hlg 600r lights. will be topping, lst, scrog and all that to fill out the canopy. will be dialed in as much as my noob brain can handle but i can say I've been studying almost none stop for over a year. wouldn't say I'm a expert or even knowledgeable cause i haven't got my green thumb yet.

Please let me know what you think. criticism is welcomed.

It sounds good to me. Flower is bigger than veg for sure and nice to have two tents for flower. I'd love to get 5-6 harvests per year but I'm usually at 4 or so, good luck with that.
It seems like you've been putting a lot of thought into this, now you can start to develop your growing addiction; just like all of us.

Just don't scrimp on veg tent lighting because it will be difficult to keep/grow big enough plants to drop into flower if you do
I would advise even two veg tents if doable

Why not just use all 3 tents for flowering and grow autos?

You could get 5 harvests a year from each tent and don't have to mess about with cycles.

3- 4x4's
1 veg
the other 2 flower, flips staggered by 5 weeks
perpetual grow
9 x 2gal pots per tent
take cuts before flip for clones for next run
rinse & repeat

Veg tent will host mothers and clones too?
