Fan help

I have got a fan pointed at a plant on low power, it is not oscillating. I read somewhere on the internet that it was bad to have a constant stream of air on a plant. The main reason I do this is to keep the temperature above the plant low. Should I stop doing this? If so, why?

i've never heard of it being bad to have a stream of air blowing on the plant...but if you're that concerned, turn the fan around so it will act as an exhaust...i have 1 as an intake and one as an exhaust to keep the temps downs

yea i havent ever heard anything bad about consistant airflow? isnt that what is supposed to be happening in order to keep co2 around the plant?

it is good and nescaery to build strong stems in the plant to have air blowing on the plant. Their is a needle in the haystack saying dont do that, he gave up. From what I read it is the satndard to have the fan on to give air and to build strong stems.

The stems turn out beautiful with the fan on them

yea if you have ever cut stems you notice the cellulose on the inside; plants that recieve alot of air have a larger hole with thinner more dense cellulose and plants that recive less air movement have thicker less tightly packed cellulose

air movement it good...having the air stream pointed DIRECTLY at your plants is not good...you can get some mean WIND BURN...surprised that none of these responders know what theyre talking about

i do what youre doing but i have the fans in opposite corners of my tent staying just above the canopy line...it circulates air, gets all the gals to do a little jiggle, and doesnt burn up the broads

best of luck
