Pros and cons of a perpetual flower room vs room where all plants finish at the same time?

I have a 6 light flower room. Because my veg room is too small to grow all the plants needed for the whole room I split the room in half and run 3 lights first and then 4 weeks later start the other 3 lights. I'm considering expanding my veg room so that I can have all plants start and finish at same time. But I'm not sure it is worth it.

What are the advantages to having the flower room be all plants at the same time?

just have the flower room do exactly that FLOWER lights on 12 off 12 and keep the veg side 18/6 you cAN HAVE FLOWERING PLANTS AT DIFFERENT STAGES and just keep rotating as long as you have a separate drying room it makes sense when it comes to harvest you can do it in stages

I have been doing perpetual and tbh it's exactly what you expect, smaller harvest more often. The only reason I keep doing it this way is because if something happens or I end up with more males than hoped for it's easier to recover since the next plants to flower are already vegging.

I run perpetually now with separate tents. I like cracking a Different bean every time.
Chop one down and move one from veg to flower and start and new seed.

I use to do veg then flower in the same tent. I also did full flower tent and a full veg tent going.
Kinda cool pulling big weight that way. But I like having something different to try every couple weeks.

It’s more work having different plant at all different stages. Spend a fair amount of time mixing neutriants but I doesn't help that I have some soil some hempys some pro mix. Lol.

It’s a hobby what can I say.
