1000 watt DE's and 8 foot ceilings may be an issue. Maybe keep low profile plants via training methods or a short strain. Ive found that 30 inches is a minimum from top of plant to lamps, manufactorers say even more. Cooling is another issue. Probably going to need a 3 ton A/C for 6.
Good luck on your path, DE's is the best tech out, ridiculous yields, and ridiculous health to plants.

8 foot ceilings is going to be very tight unless you put the Gavitas in the ceiling. I've seen a few guys who have cut out holes in the ceiling and recessed them into the cut out but it's a lot of work. The recommended spacing for 1000W DE gavita is about 3 feet from the top of the canopy and you're going to lose a couple of feet from the ceiling to the bottom of the gavita light. That only gives you about 3 feet to work with which isn't a lot.

I may be Able to get the lights up to 10' because the cieling is peaked I'm thinking 2 rows of 3 of the de 1000 if I can get them 10' high with either a a 36,000 btu mini split or a three ton full split

you could always run the de 600/750 gavitas. I run 2 of them at 825w with no problems and my ceiling is only 7'9"

What are you yielding with each of those lights

I've only done one round with them so far, pulled a little over 3 pounds with both lights and it could have been better imo.
