They didn’t lie so much as you took “can” for “will”. Can means if you’ve got the experience and the right grow conditions you can get that number. Does this describe the current situation? If not, your experience will vary. Personally, I think if you’re limiting yourself to 1 auto in a 3x3 footprint you’re doing yourself a disservice. I just did 5 in a 4x4. Kind of crowded, and I should have done 4, but that’s less than twice as large as a 3x3.
After reading through all this. I think you will be glad you got a tent. If for nothing else. The convenience. I doubt you will have to deal with all the bugs and mold like out doors. My 02 would be. Skip the autos for now. And maybe get a few photos. And grow them smaller. That way. You can get a few different strains to try. @MattyBear grows enough in a 3x3 to fool you into thinking it is a 5x5. 
Depending on the strain. You could probably do 2 nice autos if you put them in opposite corners. I use 2’x2’ scrogs but really would be better with 30" ones. Some autos can get pretty descent sized. If you want to do well for your first grow. I would look for some one that grows similar to how you plan on growing. And see if they have the time or would mentor you through the first. If you choose coco. You are not going to get more than 2 autos in a 3x3. Just my opinion. I did 4 autos in my first grow. I had to buy a 3x3 to move the AK - 47 into. Lucky for me the 2 Blue dreams I did finished earlier than my big bud. As it took up most of my 4c4 tent. This is my fist completed grow. I lucked out and had @MattyBear and @Myfriendis410 mentor me through it. I ended up with 23 1/2 oz from it. So choosing help from the start can make a big difference. Just my 02

I like a 2x4 or 2x5. Its easy to reach in and do things without the ab workout.

They might not do well by walnut trees because walnut tree roots deposit nuit lock chemicals so nothing else can feed on it

It’s juglone, and mine has killed every bush and tree planted within 30 feet. It doesn’t seem to affect weeds and grass, though. I’m guessing it has to do with depth of roots, but could easily be something more plant type specific.
So this is the end of this conversation for me. I have ALL of the information I needed from this topic.
I appreciate EVERY BIT of advice that EVERY ONE of you have provided. I have made all my decisions and made all of my purchases. I will be starting a new conversation listing build kit and likely asking for some advice on that. You all were awesome.
As for ILGM, I want it to be known that I did “complain” about the typo and they are currently emailing me trying to make it right. Whoever said it above, I am following your advice and going with Photo since yield VERY much matters to me for my first grow.
Thanks again to this great community!

I would love to hear more from you all.
