    Default Fan fuck

    Hello.

    Im just wondering if any have a better alternitive to this fan


    Its a ish 20 dollar usb powered small ocillating one. Perfect for underneath a canopy or as i use it in my little vegging tent. I also use them when drying. Problem is that they break. The joints that spin/rotate wear out and it stops to ocillate. I use 2 at the time and i have bought 5. One break on average every 3rd month. Any1 have a better option for me

    I used to get cheap ones from a UK store (Argos) but the quality of them has gone downhill

    I gave up using internal fans in the cellar because they made no noticeable difference to the amount of bud rot I got. (3% on average.) tbf, I wasn't using closed cabs and airflow happened naturally.

    My backup plan, should internal air prove to be essential, was to use a bathroom extractor fan with a diffuser fitted. The fan doesn't need to oscillate if the air is being spread 360 degrees.

    I haven't tried it yet but will do so if ever I get mould problems in my cupboard.

    Lucky you! I have to keep hidden like fuck. No smell no noice no nothing. I use a bathroom extractor as my intake fan. Its running 100% these days. Humid and hot as hell.

    Once every 3 months, my cheap 9.95 one's don't last but A couple of grows at the best. That looks like much better fan than I buy.

    I guess the 1 i have is decent then. If they only replaced the fucking plastick parts that rotate and move it would have been a perfect one.

    The one's I buy don't rotate. They should last longer, but don't. If you use them for A grow, and turn them off, they most of the time want run when you try them again. Better not to turn them off, until they do on there own. haha
