I gunna ask a stupid question here. I often read about thermostats, night fans, humidistats, etc. Is there any harm just leaving oscillating fans on the plant all day, during lights on, regardless of temperate, and just leaving the exhaust on all night, during lights off, regardless of humidity?

I have a Matsushita Blue Actinik 2' Fluoro, and i have 2 4' 36W Cool Whites, i have the blue about an inch away and the whites are about 1' away ( i need to re-arrange my cupboard :S ) anyways, the whites over power the blue in brightness, will this affect the spectrum of light that the plant is receiving?? i have other lights i can add, Cool Daylight 18W (100W output) CF, and also Warm Daylight CF 18W (100W output).
