i have an 8 inch portable fan I bought at HOMEDEPOT that is pointed directly at the plant and/or pot and it has 3 power levels would it be bad to have it on full go through the whole grow process????
I was thinking lvl 1 at veg stage then bump up to lvl 3 during flower stage any thoughts????;)
Probably speed 1 or 2 should be fine, you don't wanna give your plants wind burn...
how big of fan do you need? would a fan from my pc work okay for one or two plants
What's wind burn exactly?
the plant will show stress from too much movementQuote:

You can use a computer fan as a way to suck in fresh air, for example if you cut a hole in the side of your growbox and mount a fan. I believe that is called a "passive intake."
But that will not be sufficient. You'll want something like a 6" desk fan in there for good air circulation.
yeah i got a 8" fan in the bottom side my cabinet i cut a perfect hole in the side and it fits perfect in it and it doesnt move one bit. so it sucks in the air from my room and then i got a 8" fan on top my box thats perfectly fit in a hole i cut out and it sucks the hot air out is this ok...
That sounds like it should work good.I actually have a 8''fan in the bottem right side of my cab also that I cut a hole into that acts as a passive intake.At the top of the other side I have another hole cut out where I put pvc tubing in,and this acts like a vent to throw out any hot/old air that is in the cab.It works pretty good as you can feel alot of air movement comming out the vent hole.Then again I have a small cab.How are the temps.with lights on?
never heard of this wind burn. i tried putting a fan right next to mine before and turn it al the way up. the only thing that happened to mine was all the stems bulked up and became super sturdy. made a fishing pole out of one too :)
must not have been a long pole, yeah?Quote:

Would those be considered an "active intake" since they have the fan on the hole? I always thought passive would just be an opening with no fan pulling air in.
it was a bit over 5ft the fishing pole that is
