The biggest issue I see is that you don’t have enough light to flower a cannabis plant.
I suggest starting here as a new grower:

What would you recommend? 1000w?
I wouldn’t ever look at so-called 1,000 watt lights. If you were to buy a quality 1,000 watt light it would cost upward of $1,200. Anything less and you have a dishonest light seller. These poor solutions for lighting are all over Amazon, unfortunately. These light sellers are very dishonest about their products capability and some of them are known to offer money to people to puff up their Amazon reviews.
You want a light built with Samsung LM301 diodes. Mar Hydro, HLG, and Spider Farmer each have good options. Shoot for ~200 watts per plant at a minimum.

What about the viporspectra ks3000
Have yu heard anything good about them?
VIPARSPECTRA 2023 KS3000 LED Grow Light 320W with Samsung LM301H Osram Diodes 4 Bars Grow Light, 3x3ft Coverage Full Spectrum Uniform PPFD Dimmable Daisy Chain Growing Lamp for Indoor Plants Veg Bloom https://a.co/d/diCx6Ud
Vipar is making decent lights these days, but I still don’t trust them since it was one of the companies that was producing rip-off lights just a couple of years ago.

HLG is the gold standard. I grow with HLG 260 XL Rspecs.

I run vipar spectra, iv been very happy with them. I agree with at @MidwestGuy they do make affordable lighting thats not the greatest of quality. But their bar style lighting really is a good light for the price… it’s spectrum is not as great as some of the others… but it’s treated me so well I can’t justify buying something else…

If your growing auto flowers stop playing with poor lights!
If you want serious growth, switch to sodium vapor light minimum 600 watt.
One light, in 4x4 tent will give your plants the light they require.
