Ok so you could use a 3x3 or veg then slap them in a 4x4.
Or a 4x4 for veg or a 2x4 , up to how long you want them vegging and to what size.
You can veg with a 315 cmh, or 400-600w metal halide. Or 300w of good LEDs in 4000k.

I used to get similar results in veg with a 315cmh in 4x4 as I did with 600w metal halide in the same space.
I used to feed a perpetual 8x4 flower tent with a 4x4 veg tent.
But there will always be time when you wish you had a bit more space. Try not to make things difficult for yourself by starting too small.

I would definately try to save some money on the electricity bill. So i think i would like som kind of led. I already planned to order 2×240 qb kingbrite for my flower tent. Maybe i should just order a third ? Or is it a waste of watt for vegg ?? Also i wonder if the spectrum is optimal for veg ?
I think its gonna be 3×3 tent for veg

Maybe get 4 boards separate, no fancy spectrum, just 4k . You can run the 4 boards at 50w each and get far better coverage and still be plenty of light for veg.
The boards at 50w don't need a heatsink, you can source the driver locally. Shipping will be much less.

imo 6400k flourescent is pretty nice for veg too and cheap. i currently have a 4x4 tent for flower and i veg in a 2x4 tent with a 4' 4 tube 200w t5 fixture.

I'm considering a 288 b-spec for a 2x2 veg/clone cabinet. Havent been able to find a whole lot of info from people using them. I take it you use the b-spec for veg? I've got 4 qb120s and I love them. I'm vegging under a T12 with 2 40w 4100k bulbs now on some seedlings that sprouted less than a week ago, but I'd like to veg them under a quantum board similar to what they will be under in flower. I feel like it would be less of a shock to them.

Just ordered a HLG 300L B-spec. Dimmable down time 90w with a max of 270w. I’m super stoked
