During the initial stages of the growth of yeast cells in a culture, the rate of increase in the number of cells is proportional to the number of cells present. An experimentalist tracks this number and records that the number of cells doubles every 3 hours. How long will it take for the number of cells to be 1,000 times the initial number?

Cell culture contains thousand cells and growing rate of our thousand cells per hour. Find the total cell count after one hour. Give your answer to at least two decimal places.
