Fan causing vibration on ceiling

[Mightyturtle]

Hey so just set up my first grow tent I have a 17" fan inside but it's causing vibrations on the ceiling anyways to stop this I took the base off it and taped it to the tent poll in corner but still causing vibration would hanging it in tent maybe stop it? Any help much appreciated

Try using bungees to hang it from, they will absorb the vibrations.

You need something to absorb the vibration before it gets to your tent. Try hanging the fan with bungees.

^ beat me.

I use just one 6" fan in a 4x4 tent. I'm just trying to move the air around not create a wind tunnel.

You want to extract the heat not blow it around. Do you have an extraction fan? Although a 250 doesn't put of that much heat.
