1 light? Yeah, probably not an issue depending what else is on that circuit. If you're trying to run that grow light, a PC with a 750k power supply, and an entertainment system all on the same circuit you might have issues. But as long as everything else that's on it is of low power consumption you should be ok.

The OP says 3 1000w lights.

You should dedicate a 20 amp breaker just to the 3 lights...To be on the safe side....
And you'll have to exhaust your room somewhere...

And maybe some pics of the room? Or at least dimensions or something! More info!

Oh, well nvm then. IDK about that then. Depends on the house. 3x ~10 amp lights + an AC unit, ect all on the same breaker might be a bad plan.

Oops, my bad you're gonna need more than a 20 amp...the 3 lights alone are 25 amps.

I got everything else under control... What I want to do is make my one bedroom into everything you need... I'm going to have a 6x8 grow tent for flower with two 1000watt lights and off to the side is going to be my veg-clones with another 1000watt light.. Now I wanna know if there is something "I" can do to power this and not call anyone.. DTA I have a few people I can call but once they no the whole world will no and I dont want that... Some people can't keep mouth shut!!!!

You sure you'll need a thowie to veg? Seems excessive for that flowering area.

He's correct. 220 power takes about half the amps. If it's doable, that's the best route for you.

First thing you should do is to figure out the capacity of your breaker box...Then find out which breakers power which sockets and lights.
Then you should calculate how many amps it's gonna take to run ALL your equipment...And determine what you need to do from there, maybe add another breaker. But remember never to exceed the amperage rating of the breaker.
