Pedistal Fan?

[sassman]

I have just put my babies in there new home and have the temp just right (26c under the lights) I have an air con (portable) running during the day and also have a fan in and out for airflow. Do I need to put in a fan to move the air around despite the fact that I do not have any hot spots in the room (air con works a charm)? I have been told by some that a padistal fan is needed to strengthen the plants with a gentle breeze, while others seem to talk about using the fan soley as a technique for moving hot air from under the lights.

Any thoughts would be apreceated.

I aint no expert.. But your temps are pretty much perfect and the air con and fan your running at the moment should provide a little bit of a breeze in the room? Unless the plants show weak stems there shouldnt be a need for it just yet.. But if the fan doesnt take your temps down much more it wouldnt hurt.

yea air circulation is good it does strengthen stems and it mimics conditions in Nature, and for the plants you are Mother Nature, so i reckon give them a pedestal fan

It's good to have a gentle breeze going. Strengthens plants, and also helps to make sure there are no pockets of stale humid air hangin about.

hahahaha! That's sooo true!

 

I always have a pedestal fan going - strengthens the stems and that is a necessity if they are going to hold up the weight of fat colas
