CO2 and oscillating fans

[fendre]

With a CO2 tank setup I hear it is best to place the gas releasing tube above the plants so the gas falls down on them. Will a oscillating fan blowing on the plants during the CO2 release cause any problems? I understand the intake and exhaust should be shut off during the CO2 release but should the oscillating fan also be shut off?

i just set up my bottle co2 system last weekend. i placed the tubing above the plant canopy also and wasnt sure if i should turn my oscilating fans off. i am running ac. the room is sealed pretty well. i have a speed controller was thinking about hooking it up to the fans on a low setting.

no need to turn fans off actually helps circulate co2 just no intake or exhuast as you expected

right on, i put my fans on a low speed and it seems to be helping circulate the c02

Do I have to turn off my intake or can i leave it on? Does leaving it on dilute the levels of CO2 or something? I could go either way but i was just curious.

Can I also just place the tube behind a oscillating fan or is it better to place the tube with holes above the plants.

Thats sounds like a good idea. I'm trying to figure the best way to disperse the co2 in the tent. I have a 5x5x7 tent. Should I i have one big loop around the tent or individual hoses going to each plant. I'm using an Ebb & Gro Bucket system. All help is appreciated.

dude ,what about the spraying of leaves with seltzer water or club soda?does that work?is co2 that big of issue with say a 6x6room?

Run the CO2 tube in a big loop and mild oscillation helps... fan downlow pointing up helps lift the heavier than air CO2...
