Advice regarding grow box and yield?

Hey guys

Building a grow box right now. It’s from an old chest drawers and will have the following dimensions.

3.5ft high x 2.5ft x 1.5ft

Looking to power this bad boy with leds as I have a bunch of unused panels.

The panels are 600w LED units and I have 4 or 5 of them.

How many of these could I use in the small grow box? Hoping I can get away with a few small bathroom extractor or pc fans for ventilation.

How many plants in this setup? Would like to use a fast finishing auto.

This grow won’t be focusing on quality bud. It will be focusing on pure quantity as edibles will be made from it. Assuming I don’t care for quality and just want to grow the maximum amount of low grade buds in this setup what would be a realistic yield from this? Please include everything in the estimated yield accept for the main stalks.

I want an estimation on the yield, assuming I simply cut all the branches with the buds on off the stem and stick them all on a scale for the total yield? Without trimming or anything.

Also what’s the best way to grow the absolute most low grade buds in this setup with autos?

What kind of LEDs? blurple? im running a newer style, an HLG in a 3x3 tent and it gets surprisingly hot. As far as i know, HLGs run cooler that the old blurples. Also, why are you so determined to grow something low quality? even if its for edibles, if youre going to put all that time and effort into it why not aim for something good?

The older style I think blurple?

Each harvest I’m just going to throw the entire plants accept for the stems in vacuum bags and store in my loft until I make edibles.

They won’t be cured well, trimmed or anything like that. Just ground down and put into coconut oil.

Seems logical to just produce the maximum amount of a low grade bud rather than focusing on pure quality. THC is THC

Plus I won’t be able to leave these to grow for long periods. So if the nugs look under developed or if they look like they aren’t ready they’ll still be cut down on week 8 or 10.

So I just want to focus on producing the most low grade bud possible.

Saves me the hassle of having to perfect everything to get a good yield as well!

Last time I only got 12oz off 4 plants under a 600w hps and it was mid quality at best. Hence why I’m growing for quantity and not quality too.

6 dwarf autos in a sog. In 1gal pots

3.5ft high with the light and all that you will only get 24” max grow height.

Low quality bud will usually have low amounts of THC. If you want CBD that's one thing but if you want to get high off of edibles it makes no sense to grow low quality bud.

What sort of yield should be expected from that? Full yield including all trim, leaves, bud ect? Like what can I expect each full plant to weigh dry?

roughly 0.453592 kg

When you get it dialed in. 6-7 Oz would be a tops.
And use two of them cheap 600watt leds you got.

6-7oz is that just the bud or total weight of each plant dried?

I’ll be weighing each plant and just using each plant not gonna be trimming or removing leaves.

Why keep the plant materials that don’t have anything in them.

6-7 would be bud dialed in.

You want to grow garbage. So maybe. 8-10 Oz of junk weed.
Trim and all.

Would have way better stuff with 2oz of good bud to make your edibles
