Oscillating fans

Discussion in 'Hydroponic Growing' started by kesaber, Mar 4, 2015.

  1. I have a 6-bucket rdwc setup in a 9x5 tent under 2k watts of light. I have a 740 cfm fan; no ac. I feel like I am thinking too hard about this and would like some assistance. The 10 gallon buckets have scrogs attached to each one individually. Should I get a lot of clip fans? a regular oscillating fan that I set on whatever I can find to keep adjusting the height? Attach a board on the inside and mount a wall mount fan? I know these are all options, but as this is new to me I'm not sure about the minimum requirements or what is ideal. 
     
    Also how many fans do I need? Should I have them touching the top few inches of the plants? Should they go right above the tops of the plants? Should I have one blowing under the canopy? 
     
    I appreciate all of you that take the time to answer my ridiculous questions. Thank you

     
  2. One underneath... One on wall moving air around...

    I don't think you can have too many fans. Lol
     
  3. Does it matter where the fan on the wall is? Anywhere above the canopy or should it be closer to the tops? Is it okay or better to be slightly hitting the tops?
     
  4. I have mine just above the canopy...

    Some tops are moving in the air....

    Fans blowing across the tops and fans blowing through the lower branches. The smaller the fans the more you will need. Try to get it so all of the leaves are moving. Dead spots are noticed from leaves that are still. Floor standing fans that oscillate will cover a large area. Small clip fans are good for tight spots but they don't oscillate so they won't cover a wide area
