Hi everyone. I want to start a fan on my ladies but I'm afraid of drying them out. Current humidity only 25. Any advice?
Alright pal get a fan on them the type that move back and forth, your plants will benefit from the air moving and wobbling the plant will make them stronger. If you want to increase humidity just put a couple of shallow trays of water in the room with them as these evaporate it will increase humidity.

Hope this helps man happy growing.

The fan will help disperse heat, which means lower light.
Plus, mold thrives where there's stale air, a fan reduces the chances of that especially if it's warm & humid.

Check out small ones on eBay & check out fan speed controllers if you feel you'd want a lighter or stronger breeze.

Good air movement is one of the most important things and a big must during flower to reduce the risk of mold/bud rot,
IMO you should run both extraction fans and circulation fans 24/7 but some people turn them on and off with timers or thermostats.

Fans!!!

Air circulation and exchange will do more for your yields and plant vigor than any bloom booster/growth hormone bullshit.

You need an oscillating fan (or six depending on room) on your plants. You need an outtake fan that takes stale air out of the room and an intake fan to bring fresh air in (the intake fan can be substituted with co2 supplementation as well, though some fresh air is still good to use with. Especially for purp strains).

The only alternative is to cover your plants in powdery mildew and throw your money in the trash.

So in conclusion...get the fans or just go right to throwing your time and money in the trash!
