Air, need air...flow

I'm setting up a new tent because I won a monster of a light( thank you @MedicGrow, loving the #Ez8.)So I bought a larger inline fan(6" vivosun) for the bigger tent(4x4) and even on the lowest setting the strain on the fabric of the tent is significant.

How bad of an idea would it be to vent the other two tents through the big one? All three tents have passive intakes (32"x32, 3'x4',& 4'x4') and I'm thinking i can save on ventilation costs by using the big 6" fan to pull from the other 2 and vent through the carbon filter in the 4x4.

I do something similiar with the cab i built. My flower cabinet sits on top on of my veg cab which i pull air up from using two 4" booster fans and then exhausted out the flower cab side with a 6" inline ( the 6" would probably be sufficient, but the boosters cant hurt) I also have a 6" inline blowing into my veg cabinet.

I've got a mars 2x2x5ft sp 150 I've only connected the tent to my 5x5 with a length of ducting, even with a 6" and 8" passive vents it still draws enough through the additional ducting to keep the 2x2 at 25/26c.

That's what I'm really hoping for. I'm thinking next step is exterior venting, maybe one if the 4"inlines I'm using in the smaller tents on a temp stat, cycle air from the house into the room.
