Im very new to growing and I have realized people are saying the ts1000 isnt the greatest for flowering in a 3x3, this will be my first grow and I will be using autoflowers. Im just curious if this will be enough to get me by with maybe a oz per plant for at least my first grow before I can upgrade to the ts2000 or something better, but for right now there isnt much I can do for a while. I can return the light up to a month or two so I could order a new light maybe before the flowering stage, but If i dont will this be enough to get me through my first grow and maybe get a oz per plant?

I recently finished a grow, 2 autos in a 3x3 with the ts1000. It's definitely not enough light, but I managed 2oz off of each plant.
Thats awesome! That would be perfect for my first grow until I get my ts2000, what nutes did you use? Also what strains

ts2000 is perfect for a 3x3. It does however put off a lot of heat. I have one in a 3x3 and had to mount the ballasts outside the tent in order to not heat stress the girls.
You should be able to get a decent yield still, just keep them as centered as possible in the tent. PAR will be best in the middle of the tent. You can swap lights after your first grow if you need to save.

There are better options depending on your budget.
Yeah I might swap after my first but I want to see what I can get since my seeds arrive tomorrow! I'll look into what other lights I can get

I used FFOF soil and Flora Nova Grow and Bloom, but kept feedings extremely light though finish. The strains were Green Crack and Purple lemonade, both by FastBuds.
