I wouldn't count on it working well in Flower. It's probably good enough to keep a plant alive. I warn people all the time about buying cheapo lights. They are built like shit & are a Fire Hazard.
I've had 3 lights melt where the plug goes into the lights when I bought the cheapo $50 lights.
Besides that they only produce small buds because the PAR level is inadequate. They just aren't worth it. But you can get through a grow & probably get 2 oz. per plant which will give you money to buy a decent light. That's my thoughts on it. I'm sure it's not what you were hoping to hear; but I'm being honest.

No need to do 4 plants in a 3' x 3'. You can do 1 plant with topping & LST & get the same amount of weed as 4 plants. You can fill a 3' x 3' tent wall to wall with 1 plant.
This is 1 plant with 5 weeks veg & 7 weeks flower so far.
Keep in mind your plant will double in size when you switch to 12/12 for flower.

Just wanted hear some thoughts thanks a lot. Can you recommend a cheaper reliable light that would be great for a 3x3 tent ? I'm in Canada

Check out the 315cmh lights. Cheap & perfect footprint for a 3x3 tent.

I would use a light like that for early veg and clones....that's about it and that's even pushing it. If money is tight HPS/MH might be the best option. If it's not....look into Mars-hydro, Budget Led, HLG and Syder-Farm.

One plant wall to wall in a 3x3 under a Mars-Hydro Ts-3000.

What are some specs that I should be looking out for? Would like max yield and thc.. Would like to spend 100 to 150 if this light I bought is garbage. What size is the best for it

I found my vertical hood 315cmh lights for $120 shipped per light. Again one light would be a great fit for a 3x3 tent.
