Good luck!

That's a lot of bottles for a first timer. With such a complex soil mix you should have enough nutrients in the soil to finish a cycle.

You want your fans to create a circulation in the room rather than point directly at the plants.
In your configuration you'r heating the plant by venting them with hot air from above.
If you need to cool your tent point the fans upwards.
If temp. is not an issue I would attach them upside down and facing sideway toward the next fan to create a circulation of air.

Heat is not an issue, its actually really cold and I have the vortex turned on pretty low, any higher and it will be in the 60's. I'm in 3 gallon air pots and I've been vegging for 2 months. I didn't use enough of the ammended mix at the bottom of my pot so I started getting deficiencies. Should I transplant into bigger pots? If so would 10 gallon be ok for another month of veg and 70-90 days of flower?

3 months veg? That would create huge monsters.
I would flower them in a week or two.

You could transplant now to 5-6 gallons, veg for 2 more weeks and flower, or just water with more fertilizers later on into flowering.

I like the first option better in most cases.

Thanks, I'll do 7 gallon, also I am having some issues, I'll take oics when I get off work.

Perpetual Nooch · Jun 21, 2015

Don't you think that a 7gal pot is overkill in this situation? With only a 4x4 tent to grow in, won't it be overgrown in the time it takes to fully utilize the root space? Unless you are topping like crazy, I don't know.

HATORI HANZO · Jun 21, 2015

I really don't know, I figured 7 would be a good enough amount of root space to fill my screen up. This is a pic of the issue I am having, any clue as to what it is?

Winged root aphids caused phantom deficiencies.

7 is overkill man. Ya don't want to go too big or your plant will take too long to dry out. A good rule of thumb that I've heard is about a foot per gallon although I'm not sure how that converts when doing SCroG but I don't think you're getting 7 feet worth of plant in that SCroG without 1 plant taking most/all the screen space.
.
As for that leaf issue there I'd recommend asking on another forum like rollitup, the people here are friendlier but this forum seems kinda deadish in comparison. Otherwise look around on google and do some picture searches to see if you can find other plants with similar issues.

HATORI HANZO · Jun 29, 2015

I had winged root aphids, had to get rid of all my plants and nuke my house several times just to make sure. I got them by bringing outside plants inside(I'm a noob). I just popped 4 C99's, wish me luck.

Nasty little buggers. Hope next grow attempt is stellar!

+1 on the fans pointing sideways toward the next fan. I do this at just under canopy, each slightly angled up through the canopy, and then an osc 12" for the top of the canopy to disperse hotspots.

HATORI HANZO · Sep 5, 2015

I started a new grow. C99 day 19 of flower.

John.Snow · Sep 9, 2015

Looking good dude!

Maybe think about clearing some of the undergrowth out before you get too much further into flower. Too much larf = smaller buds and high humidity.

HATORI HANZO · Nov 11, 2015

Finished the C99

Really nice job! It looks great!
