Enough air flow?

ive got 2 small fans blowing on the canopy. One 6" clip on and another 8" one that put out pretty good. Neither oscillate so I move them around every day. But I'm worried I'm not getting enough air flow, and I think i should add one below the canopy. I'm in day 17 flower, soil grow. I have a fan for my air cooled hood and also one for a carbon filter. Lights out my rh was at 60 today, but 40 lights on. Temps are 20 lights out, 28-30 lights on.
Any suggestions?image.jpeg

You are a smart man to worry those fans aren't going to cut it.. You can use one of those fans between the lights and the plants barely skimming the plants when you're low on the lights. You need two oscillating fans for that garden but not too strong I have a set of 12 inches I think that do just fine. (Can measure them for you if you want I bought them at walmart years ago.) They will pay for themselves in bud weight but you also need them for mold. So to reiterate the fans shouldn't be so strong that the leaves will be flapping around everywhere like a flag in high breeze, I would imagine youtube shows plenty of fans going look for the guys with tons of videos for a long time. I love YouTube guys are motivated to teach people all kinds of awesome things... I'm terrified of Powdery Mildew and Mold/Rot I don't like it

Yeah it wasn't so bad but during the stretch it got a little crowded. But that's the kind of problem I don't mind having lol. I guess I'll grab a couple fans, my only problem is I don't have anywhere to put them lol. Room is 5x5 and so is the screen lol. My clip on fan is clipped on the frame of the screen and the other fan is mounted on the wall about a foot above canopy. Guess I'll have to rig up something to mount oscillating fans to the wall....shit lol

Wall mounting would work you could also get a cheap piece of rubber to put behind it if you have vibration noise.

(Funny their 12 inch is more money than the 16 inch from what I saw. This is not the end all I'm sure you can get a great price and also I don't know how to determine how fast the fan goes on it's lowest setting I don't blow my plants hard just thoroughly)

I was wondering about this too. I have one fan blowing up their skirts and another on top of the canopy. Is the one below ok to use?
