Both these members are correct,never turn your fans off for several reasons.

Reason one is that moving air over & on the plants keeps them stimulated just like in a natural setting,your not just trying to get the plants proper lighting when you grow indoors, your trying to replicate the plants whole natural enviroment,this includes plant stimulation.

Another reason to leave the fans running 24/7 is mold,having fresh air moving at all times is the best way to assure your grow area does not get moldy,all air has mold spores in it,even in non grow areas of the home,if just one mold spore gets a foot hold in the room the mold spreads very quickly,if one spore lodges itself within a bud it can ruin the entire bud,mold spreads fast.

Fresh moving air at all times is the best way to prevent & get rid of mold,much better than any cleaner or chemical.

No fan at all for germinating though, correct?

Im worried about it getting to cold in there.
The interior fan can go to its lowest setting?
This Apt is drafty...not so tight after 100 years of shifting...
