I have 2 side by side brushless dc12v fans. I'm wondering how to wire these to a wire to plug them in... I'm also wishing to keep them on the highest speed available. Any help?
Thanks!!

You need an Ac/Dc adapter pall. pick one up at amazon for around £4, its has about 5 speeds you can put your fans at.

Adiitaff I figured it out! I just tried a little experimenting. I went around the house searching for a DC12V wall plugin. I found one and cut the tip of it off and stripped the wires. I then stripped a set of the fan wires and found the positive and negative wire and connected them. I wired 'em up and plugged it in. Fan starts blowing hair at an extremely fast pace. Now have a set of nice fans for exhaust and input. Plant's going to enjoy it!! It's rather cool how I did it.

Ya know this is a big experiment to me.. So the humidity thing is something I have yet to conquer. How would one test the humid. levels?
Thanks!

Search ebay or amazon or wherever for hygrometer. You can get them for less than ten quid and they display temp and relative-humidity, get one that has a memory function (most of them do) and you can check the min/max temp/humidity that it's recorded too.

e2a :

if your humidity is too low you can get a mini ultrasonic humidifier for 15 quid, if your humidity is too high you can get something like moisture-mate to suck moisture from the air.
