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?
 
If ppl say 1gpw for every watt I should be getting 3000g I'm not even close lol I was just smoking a joint and started thinking about it
 
Sadly no I'm not I'm getting A little more then half I wonder what's the problem temps and humidity stay on point I'm running straight coco maybe I should add some perlite but still that won't make it 1gpw

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.

Nice I'm lookin to switch over to uc heard it's killer
 
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!
