I'm running three radiant 8 1000w in a 9x7 room air-cooled temps staying at 80 running co2 1100ppm throughout. Coco in ten gallon pots. Vegged for 8 weeks. 8 plants total what should I be pulling from this setup?

Your plants must be huge. 8 weeks of veg with Co2? I bet you are getting way more than 1 gpw.

Lets see some pictures. I bet your plants are too big and you have a lot of wasted space...just a guess tho.

Well I have never grown in Coco, so maybe I'm just used to hydro grow rates. But 8 weeks seems long to me.

Your gonna have to be a badass to pull a gpw on a small plant count. Given a reasonable veg time. Ill be stoked as hell if i get .5. Prolly 18-5gl hydroton under 8-1000's. We'll see.

Probably SCROG is the way to go. Unless you wanna get crazy like me and shove 144 plants into a 3 foot by 3 foot square under a single 600 (which is what Ill be doing next)

Edit: Might go with 4 inch spacing instead of 3 which will drop me to 81 plants and save a bunch of money on seeds. Not 100% sure yet.

Good looking plants, how tall are they? Photo attached is my garden with 4 weeks veg. time from rooted seedling, and 2 weeks in 12/12. They are about 3'-31/2' tall but would be 4-5' if not controlled a bit.

That guy is probably what you want to be doing. SCROG just makes great use of the space and you can maneuver the tops so maintain a fairly level canopy. Notice how he has no wasted space!
