    Default Can I use a static fan instead of oscillating in grow room

    My fan has gone in my growdrobe peeps but they are only in the veg stage at the minute and they’re screwed at that lol, my question is could I get a clip on one instead or does it need to be an oscillating one
    Cheers
    I smoke pretty much all of the time so if I waffle shit please forgive me lol

    If using a static fan, try not to point it directly at your plants...

    Me to static, I just change its position when a feed, oscillating makes to much noise for me

    If you aren't using an oscillating fan then you want the air to be as turbulent as possible to push it round. Aim your fans up slightly and at a corner of the tent. Place the fan near your intake so it spreads the cool air around.

    If you have multiple fans try and align them so they all work with each other rather than against. Remember thermal physics, heat rises use that to your advantage. Move air in the same direction preferably around and up creating a cyclone motion. That pushes hot air up and away from the plants and sucks cooler fresh air into it's place.

    It's more effort than just banging an oscillator in there but can be done

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    Cheers peeps I’ll go with the clip on one, I need the space as the two I’m growing now aren’t looking too good so I might throw another one in as a backup, any chance one of you kind growers could have a look at the pic of them in my auto stardawg diary, it’s my first time using biobizz soil and my new light from the start and I’m not sure wtf is going on with the plants lol
    Cheers
