    Default Oscillating fans

    Right growers, trying to figure out what fans are best for a grow room.

    I've tried-

    Diffuseair with rvk- loud
    Tower fans- tall as hell
    Oscillating fans - don't last long
    Ram Air eco fans - good but not when up against tent walls.

    Has anyone got a fan that cuts off when it's knocked over.....can this be altered not to trip put if put facing down.

    Let me know what you guys think or have found to work best be nice to see what can be done to get the air flowing how we want around the room and might give others ideas to try.

    Cheers
    Done

    I have 2x 12" inch desk fans from walmart. Have them sitting on top of
    5 gal. (20L) buckets. Been running them for 2 years and still going strong.
    Also have 2x Honeywell HT-908 Turbo force.
    You can also hang those tower fans horizontal and they work great.

    I'm not using internal fans in my cupboard. Should I ever need to, I'm going to throw money at the problem.

    I'll be using an AC Infinity S4 with 4" solid ducting, including Tees and elbows, to give multiple streams of air around the grow space. Whatever that will cost, I've spent much more than that on internal fans over the years. The S4 will give me a set and forget solution.

    4 x ram eco fans

    I have taken the little kill switch out so they can be mounted like this. If that stay on and work then jobs a good un but if not then least its been tried.

    I think this will only be decent for leds like this because the air can flow down easier and not be blocked as much.

    I use a 16" wall fan, does the job really well, been using it for over a year, no problems.

    I guess the fans wear out because it swings back and forward, I would love one of these in my flower room, just aim it at the ceiling, but there £160 (5x more powerful than my rvk fan, 66 dBa)

    Would be 1000 x overkill and tbf have the same desired effect as what I've just done. I have mow a gentle breeze going over all 7 plants 2 over each 4.

    Picked up a secret Jardin little fan from a local hydro shop, hooks on nicely to the tent pole easy to take apart and clean currently on its 2nd grow and still going fine bit noisy though
