Oscillating fan

    Hey guys just wondering I’ve got to by a new oscillating fan for my 3x3. I know people normally use a round fan and let it blow over the tips of their plants. But could a fan like this (pics below) be useful? I’m just getting over a run in with spider mites and I thought it might help circulating air and keeping mites from landing on my plants.

    Thanks mate. I were sure if it would work. I thought the plants might get stressed out from the wind.

    As long as it oscillates bro, you should be golden.
    Just try out all the settings and set it to a nice gentle breeze :) All good.

    Hey Mac no worries at all I’ll grab one today. My other one would turn and stop whenever it felt like it. Became a pain in the ass so it’s been scraped

    New fan in. Not sure how it will go. It’s not really reaching the plant on the back left but is kinda strong on the other 2.

    I've got a tower fan too. It's like 4 inches from closest plants. I thought same as you. But the closest plants havehave biggest buds. Screenshot_20190304-161559.png Screenshot_20190304-161608.png Screenshot_20190304-161538.png
