Fan placement issue!

[Johnny5thesim]

Hi!

I’m hoping someone has some idea how I can deal with my fan placement issue. I have 4 plants in a 4x4 grow tent.

I originally used a large tower fan. But once they got bigger. I put 2 small oscillating fans in, facing at the walls. As they were really blowing hard, when faced directly at them.

Now, 1 week into flowering. They are slowly burying the fans.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to place the fans? I’m toying with building a stand that sits in the middle with a clip on, on each side oscillating back and forth blowing outwards, covering 2 plants each.

I've got similar fans like yourself but a smaller tent, what I do is I clip them to the poles and position it so its runs the air around the top of the canopy and the tent. Don't know if that helps but you could try it.

I like having a fan under and above the canopy. If your fans don’t clip, and even if they do, zip ties are one of the most useful tools to keep around.

I would set one below the canopy and the other above, gently fluttering the leaves.

I am going to try right now to move everything around. See if I can’t shove everything into the middle a bit more to allow space for one to go just at canopy height in a corner.

Because my lights are at 12” I’m limited vertically. And because of the plants width. I’m limited horizonatally!

Thanks for the advice!

I have 8in oscillating fans I just let them blow right on the plants.

I ended up using using sanitized tobacco containers. Not the best solution. But I have air over the canopy now!

Thanks for the tips all!
