At what point do I want an Oscillating fan going on my plants? They're 3-4 inch clones, roots have developed an inch or more out past the rockwool cubes. It's a little warm in the room ( 80-85 ) & I was wondering if I should put a fan on them? I already have air circulating in the room, but I've avoided placing any wind directly in their path.
Not an expert or anything but i have done my fair share of research. I heard that if you have a fan on your little ones it makes the stem stronger right? well in the beginning you also have to have your humidity around 80%. So if its taking away from your humidity, no fan for the first week. Im keeping my room humid by hanging wet towels. My little ones just sprouted and i put the fan on them...heres a pic at 2 days old
I would right away. My plant has been under pretty good wind since it started. It blows the plant around but the stock is literally like a tree at the bottom.
the fan doesnt have to blow directly on them, it can bounce of a wall first to be gentler. You want the leaves to flutter in a breeze, not hang on for dear life.
