Using pc growbox and have questions

Hello. I made a home made pc grow box, it has 2 fans and it can fit 2 decent sized plants. I have this light reflecting stuff around the walls of the grow box. I just planted 2 seeds in 2 different pots, im using 1 100w light bulb that heats very nicely, i was using 2 but it was to hot. What i am wondering is how long do i have to wait to harvest the plants, and how much weed can i get off 1 plant?

First are you using a Incandescent Light or CFL? Then read this https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-fluorescent-growing/107992-tutorial-growing-cfls.html

Im using a normal lightbulb i had

At the very LEAST, get a few CFL's, and stop posting the same thing repeatedly.

You won't get anything out of that really.
Cannabis needs proper light, water, temp, RH, air and a whole lot of other stuff to grow.
I won't go into detail since all the info can be found in the sticky threads in various forum sections or by a basic cannabis 101 google search.

I got 2 100 wat CFL bulbs...will that be ok?

thats a good seed starter... thats about it. i have a pc box just for the first 2 weeks... then they go to the big room. thats plenty of light to START a plant

You can probably get 1-2 more bulbs in there depending on the temps. If you want to grow in that case you should really consider 12/12 from seed and some LST or topping of your plants to keep their size under control to fit them in there. I am in the process of building a PC box right now for sexing clones and keeping a perpetual grow going.

If i had 4 100 wat equivalent CFL bulbs... how would it take to grow just so the buds are smokable

It would take a few weeks of them being seedlings, assuming no veg time then another 7-10 weeks to flower. plus drying time, plus curing time (another few weeks).
You are looking at at least 3 months, so really the pc growbox start to finish isn't worth it IMO.

go and tell the people in the 12/12 from seed thread that it isn't worth it.

In the context of a pc growbox, I still think it isn't.
SOG grows 12/12 from seed are great.
Cramming in a 45cm tall case a couple of cfls and a pot, youre already looking at a tiny plant... 2-3 months of maintenance for that is not worth it, unless you really enjoy it. Good learning experience for sure.
Maybe I take it for granted that I have a place that allows me to set up a tent, although I still have to keep it clandestine.
If I needed to be stealthy indoors I would still try and find a waist height wooden tv cabinet or something, deck it out and put a lock on it, no more suspicious than a pc case, but many times the growing space.
