I've been growing without wind since 2 harvests and had Nice results... The thing is that the wind makes my home smell weed much more... I grow in an open room, in the corner... What wind Could give If I add it?

by wind im assuming you mean having a fan? Having a fan strengthens the plants and allows it to support more bud. You could be missing out on results....but if you are happy with your results....theres no reason to change.

My girls love the wind! My last fan broke and so I started this grow with out one as soon as I replaced it the girls perked up. An oscillating fan helps the stems grow stronger, keeps them cooler and circulates more CO2. Don't leave home without it.

I have a fairly big grow room but it is pretty hot. It made a big difference with mine, how warm are they? I keep mine at 76 degrees about 60-70% humidity with the fan and they grow....well, like weeds.

70F but VERY low humidity: 15%... It's the winter here (-22F outdoor) and DRY... They are with like 20 diffrent kinds of plants so they keep humidity between them. When the HPS is ON, it goes up to 85F and probably really dry btw They doesn't suffer from dryness at all

Look at the photo of my favorite one:

Depending on the size and type of plant they can eat up CO2 very quickly, in fact the CO2 around leaves can be used up in as quick as 15min and when the CO2 runs out photosynthesis stops which mean plants stop growing. Also, as was mentioned fans will replicate wind making the plants stronger and able to support more bud which every one wants. You may have enough air movement if your growing in an open room but if you ever want to step up your op or notice your harvest isnt what it should be keep this in mind.
