Let's say I have a space of 10 square meters at my disposal. I would like to put there approximately 30 autoflowers (auto Critical Orange Punch) in 20L pots grown in soil. I also have 8-10 blurple BestVa lights with 600w strength (real power drawn from wall is 60w, and 120w when turned on both veg and bloom mode). How can I improve this grow room and maximize the yield of the autos light wise? I am open to any suggestions which are not too expensive since I'm on a budget (LED, COB, QB) with as much detail on the execution of the grow (g/w and coverage area).

- Start date
I am time bound currently so autos will remain. what do you suggest for lights?

With that much area if I were you, I'd follow as bk78 said and ditch the autoflowers. You can yield more from taking 50 or so clones from 1 or 2 mothers. Each clone will yield 1-2 oz and will all be identical and consistent, not only with growth but also hardiness and tolerance to environmental conditions, light levels and nutrient strength. 50 seeded plants will have alot of variations from one to the next.

Autos run the same time as photos. Whoever led you to believe they are faster lied
can you explain this a bit more into detail? how much time would i need to set this up? how much from seed to harvest?

Auto's still take 3 months, minimum. Just sayin'.
what do you mean?
yes, three months. but photos take almost 6 months, or no?

Not unless you want them to. Photos you have that control, auto's not so much. That many plants, I wouldn't run auto's either and I've been growing them for years.

Like bk78 said, grow a plant or two first.... 3000-5000 actual watts for 10 square meters.
