Oscillating fands that dont break within a year

 

[Lenin1917]

Ive got one in a corner of each of my tents, I got the first one almost 3 years ago and it’s still going strong.

Oscillating fans have no place in a well designed grow room. These fans create turbulence and pockets of dead air. Fixed fans can be oriented to create laminar airflow through establishment of Horizontal Air Flow Cells. Regardless of how big or small your grow might be, taking the time to establish HAF cells will benefit your plant health. Fixed fans don't break as often either.

i don't like the oscillating fans, either, i never want a fan blowing directly on my plants. i have 4 small honeywell fans in my tent, 2 blowing straight up against the back wall in either corner, and 2 more mounted just under the "roof" blowing toward the front of the tent, just above my lights. this blows cool air upwards from the bottom of the tent and across my lights, then blows it out of the tent to mix with room air. it makes all of the plants in the tent stir slightly, which is all you need.

I like rotating grills more than traditional oscillating fans because they don't need to move.

I've had great luck with Lasko fans...I have a few over 5 years old still going strong. Walmart or on line

Best way to increase life is to run continuously
Off and on wears out oscillator fans

I won a Vivosun 6" oscillating fan during Christmas time, I'll be setting it up in the next day or so. It's really nice on the outside at least. Been years since I've used a 6" oscillator, the ones I had in the past burned out fast, so we'll see how it does.

Until someone makes one with a bearing, they're doomed to failure.
I had a few and none lasted a year, very disappointing for the price.
I just use more cheap, fairly reliable, fixed fans

I personally like the oscillation. I have 2 24inch fans from Global Industries, and a 10" hyperfan on the floor blowing at 45 degrees to the opposite corner and under the tables. You can stand anywhere in the room (20x30) and get a gust every few seconds. The 24 in fans are blowing right over the top of the canopy. They have been running non stop since 2018.

I've been using these for over a year now, they run continuously.

I've always wanted to try one of those, but I don't have any floor space. I'd also like to try one of those bladeless types.

Mine are only 16 inch

I think the issue is small oscillating fans being junk

They don't exist.

Hang it from the top of your tent if you have one. I did that and it works great.

 

[cobshopgrow]

if you want it long lasting see that you get a brushless motor based fan.
normally called "EC".

I'm sure yours are built to last and not the junk sold for grow tents which use shit plastic bushings

True. These Global Industrials are built like a Sherman tank. Heavy AF. I think I used 6 inch lag bolts into the stud wall to mount them.

EC motors are great, but its the pivot mechanism that fails prematurely in the oscillating grow tent fans.
