Individual plant Scrog idea with two room perpetual grow, pic included opinions wanted

I am looking to scrog my next round. My problem is that I do not want to do just one flavor so I was thinking about setting up individual scrogs that I could rotate from the veg room to the flower room and saw something on the tube. It is a PVC frame that holds both the plant and the screen above the plant and maybe even a tray to catch water below. I thought the idea was pretty genius. But I was wrong once before, just can't remember when. What do you "people" think?

I'm thinking about doing frames that are a little over two feet wide and deep (I have to be able to fit through doorways) in 15 gallon fabric pots. This of course would be for an organic soil grow.

I was thinking this might be a good idea because I would not mess with the lack of rigidity the 15 gal fabric pots have. The roots/canopy are less likely to get damaged when moving the plants or checking the weight because they are all connected. This low and high pvc perimeter could act as a barrier for falling down objects, we don't want a 1993 Michael Douglas to release on our plants (bad movie reference).Yes checking weight is in the video, but it is still a great idea. Maybe I could use a pull scale to get actual weights to chart the water weight/plant weight changes, maybe.

Would a 2.25'x2.25' scrog with one plant do all right for yield or is this too small of an area? The vegging time should be between 2 and 3 months. I would have 4 or 6 of these setups at first then maybe expand to 12 to keep six in veg and six in flower constantly

Other than the expense of the million pvc fittings, what are the cons? I am already planning on transporting these on a furniture dolly to avoid most all problems with weight and imperfect possibilities.

Why not use one room and Veg/flower in it while alternating with room #2 and not have to move them at all? If your lights are the same or easily moved it might make sense.
I'm aposed to the lift/ tote thing. I'm old.;)
Scroging a 2.5x 2.5 for one plant is maybe over kill, but possible, with good light distribution.

The reason being is I'm thinking that I could harvest a plant every 2 weeks or so and swap in a prevegged teen that is ready to go, while cutting a clone to replace the harvested plant in the veg room. In this scenario I am planning on keeping the mothers with the scrog veggers (I know this is not a word) and clones.

This enables me to have six or so different flavors going on, I like a little variety.
